LOL! Well, then I'd better add one to keep the distance. smile.gif

I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. (Born in Sunnyvale, lived in Mountain View, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Santa Cruz, Soquel, Watsonville and most recently Foster City). Dan was born in Southern California and lived in Victorville when we met.

Last summer Dan got a job offer and we moved up to the Puget Sound in Washington. We're not in the city as I like the rural living a bit more.

You forgot to post where YOU are from, Jer. smile.gif

Denver, CO for 17 years; born in Boston, MA and lived there until I was 19 then moved west to Salt Lake City and lived there for 9 years. Also spent two years in Rockville, MD while my ex-husband was in the military.

Sort of gives my age away, huh? :D

It only gives your age away if you stop to add up the years :D I'm currently in North Carolina, previously Washington DC, Salt Lake City Utah, Connecticut, and central Illinois. I love NC except these darn hot & humid summers. Thank god for a/c!!!! And, some airlines have finally started flying nonstops to Vegas smile.gif No National Airlines with free stopovers in Vegas, yet.....We've got our fingers crossed!

Seattle here - just about to graduate from UW in June & of course I'm celebrating by going to Vegas!

Sonya - where around the sound are you?

p.s. If anybody needs a freshly graduated electrical engineer, I'm currently weighing offers. smile.gif

I thought Vegas Jer was just asking Sonya and not everyone but I will post too.
I grew up and went to school in central Connecticut. We vacationed in NH and after trying Colorado for a bit (I believe, I'm the only person who ever moved out to CO and moved back!)I returned to Conn and subsequently moved to NH. I have been here since 1971, my wife still refers to me as a "Flatlander" and the kids don't think I talk right (pronounce my "r's") but I have now lived most of my life here.
Las Vegas is a nice break in February. LV winter with 60's is summer when you leave show and ice and a couple of months of sub zero weather. April was almost too hot! (For me).

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Lived in Puerto Rico for 4 1/2 years while in college (which, by the way, was where I learned how to gamble!)

Jason - I'm across the water from you. I couldn't bear the idea of moving out of one overpopulated traffic jam into another, so Dan relented and I get to be out here by the cows and the water and the Olympics. smile.gif

Flipster - I didn't think anyone was native to Florida. I think I've only ever met people who moved there. :D

Terry - I love Santa Barbara. Always thought I'd end up there. My parents are building a new place out near Arroyo Grande, so I suppose I will be down in that neck of the woods again someday.
