We're moving in a week and will be in the town where I grew up and still work and 10 minutes from where he grew up. Can't wait to be back in my hometown. It's nothing extremely special, but it's home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-45119 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:34:47 +0000 DigAPony 45119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in Arizona and now live in Oregon. I feel bad being so far from my family, but I'm much happier up in the PNW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-45021 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:20:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 45021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I grew up in Reading, MA and now we live in Dedham, MA :) hello semi-neighbor! I went to BC so I know Brookline quite well... we get RJ's birthday cakes from my favorite bakery, Party Favors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-44926 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 11:00:25 +0000 Mrs.KMM 44926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - I grew up in IN and now I live in TX and am preparing to move to GA.</p> <p>DH grew up in Atlanta though and that is where we are preparing to move back to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-44891 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:01:59 +0000 MH.Abroad 44891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh, complicated question for me! I grew up in NC, FL, TN, CA, MI, WA, and Albania. We're currently also living in Albania, but we're moving soon and will probably settle with kids in another country in Europe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-44877 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:30:28 +0000 winniebee 44877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: I grew up 45 mins north of Boston too (Manchester, NH)! Where did you grow up? We now live in Brookline.</p> <p>I now live about an hour from where I grew up (and incidentally where DH grew up, too). Some consider Brookline Boston, some consider it a suburb.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-44862 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:05:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 44862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, that's tough, because I grew up all over the place. By the time I was 12 I had lived 8 places, but I've been in TX for the past 14 years and I tend to call it my home now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-44834 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:29:52 +0000 mrsjyw 44834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We live in a town that is only 15 min away from our hometown (DH &amp; I are from opp sides of the same town). Both of our parents still live there as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42481 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:19:20 +0000 DillonLion 42481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After being born in NYC, my family moved to the Dallas area for my dad's job. I grew up in a suburb of Dallas called Plano. Now I live in Little Elm which is another suburb of Dallas that is exactly what Plano used to look like when we first moved there. </p> <p>I'm happy with it. We have a big, beautiful house that we enjoy immensely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42453 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:42:51 +0000 CameronsMomma 42453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in a small town that was about 50,000 people. Now I live in a big city, about 1 million, and love it. I won't ever go back to the small town. It's a great place to raise kids and all but once you hit high school there isn't much to do so those kids resort to sex, drugs and alcohol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42447 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:32:58 +0000 prettylizy 42447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought our first house and it's is actually 1000 feet door to door from the house I grew up in. I love my little town, and it's a great neighbourhood so we couldn't say no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42385 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:02:33 +0000 mynoahbear 42385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no where near where I grew up. I grew up in Wisconsin and I'm currently living in tokyo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42384 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:02:11 +0000 Andrea 42384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: Yes, it is expensive but still a lot cheaper than NY! But the job opportunities aren't as good there either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42376 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 07:12:13 +0000 Beyond2 42376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved back into the house I grew up in and my parents moved into my grandparents house. So I'm still in the exact same spot I was raised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42349 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 02:07:16 +0000 tequiero21 42349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i live about 20 minutes more east. i like it here, never thought i'd end up so far east! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42348 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:38:21 +0000 skibobrown 42348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both grew up outside of Boston (but in different towns). Now we live in California, and might be moving soon to Iowa. We would *love* to move back to Boston, but our careers are not cooperating with that goal right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42347 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:19:54 +0000 SAHM0811 42347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Jealous too that you grew up in Hawaii. That's the only other state besides NY and CA that I'd like to live in someday :) On our last trip though, I realized it's so expensive to live there too, but I would think so worth it! I met a few locals who vacay'ed there and then pretty much never left... I wish I could do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42344 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:08:41 +0000 SAHM0811 42344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been almost a decade since I lived in my hometown (suburb of LA). I'm glad I got the experience of living in 2 other different cities. I almost can't imagine staying in one city to live in my whole life... I got the itch to leave at 22 and I'm glad I followed my heart (to San Francisco!). I really, really love where we are now (NYC), but we are moving back soon to somewhere pretty close to my hometown. </p> <p>I have mixed feelings about it for myself... but I see so many pros for the move back for my children and my family in the long-run, that I've come to accept the move back as a positive thing, even though I was dreading it for a while (not totally a suburbs fan either). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42327 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:11:56 +0000 yin 42327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the same town, only minutes away from my parent's house (15 minutes walking distance). I didn't even leave for college, and of course campus was only minutes away (yup 15 minutes to walk there). There's something about this place that keeps me here, and I am happy to be able to raise my family here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42301 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:43:35 +0000 venice4504 42301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live about an hour away from where I grew up and you couldn't pay me enough to ever move back there. I went to school in the South though and I'd love to move back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42268 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:10:06 +0000 heffalump 42268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live about 15 minutes from where I grew up. I wanted to move away, but my husband wanted to stay close to family. Now with a baby, I'm so glad we did! And I love our town, it's very artsy fartsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42263 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:07:30 +0000 Rubies 42263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lived in Toronto my whole life (except for the year I was 3 when our family moved to Vancouver intending to stay there but the job situation for my parents was not good so we moved back to Toronto 10 months later). I can't imagine living anywhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42256 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:03:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 42256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up about 40 mins north of Boston, and we now live about 20 mins southwest of Boston. I love Boston and would love to stay here forever, but I don't like running into people from high school so I'm staying in the south shore! Well... we'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42237 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:47:41 +0000 MaisyMay 42237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I grew up 9 hours north of where I live now. We love living in the Bay Area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42222 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:40:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 42222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in Ga and now I live in TX. I wouldn't go back either! If we ever move again it'll be to hubby's home state, Louisiana. I love Louisiana! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42220 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:39:44 +0000 lilteacherbee 42220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only live an hour (one county away) from where I grew up. I love NC and I can't imagine living in another region. I do want to eventually move closer to my hometown when we start having kids. They have better schools, the BEACH, and it's an overall better area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42196 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:15:20 +0000 Andrea 42196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Haha. You can go stay with my family as they all live there! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42191 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:13:20 +0000 mrsjazz 42191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yes! It's been raining and windy all day. I want to be with the President and his family in Hawaii :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42189 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:12:05 +0000 Andrea 42189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Yeah, we're having this crazy storm right now! Is it like that in Brooklyn? It's so windy and stuff keeps hitting our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-live-where-you-grew-up#post-42184 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:09:46 +0000 mrsjazz 42184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Jealous! Hawaii sounds so much better than NYC right now.</p> <p>I was born in Brooklyn and have lived here all my life except for the 4 years of college upstate NY. I love Brooklyn. But New York City life has been wearing me down. My husband doesn't want to leave any time soon though. Sigh. </p>
