PrairieAir Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Can't get much more central than Kansas, y'all;) Kansas is the state I've lived in the longest. We've been here for the past 16+ years and I lived here for 1 1/2 years before that. Dh is from Kansas but has also lived in Ohio, Indiana, and New Mexico. I was born in Texas and have also lived in Ohio, Indiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, New Jersey, and New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I voted other. I'm from the Mid-Atlantic region, Maryland to be more specific. Since we're south of the Mason-Dixon line, the north doesn't want us, and since we didn't secede from the Union, the south doesn't want us. :001_smile: I've lived in NC for 9 years, but I still consider MD home.

CookieMonster Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I lived 1/2 my childhood in once place and half in another. There is no one living anywhere I used to live. I've moved twice since marrying. I actually cringe when people ask me where I'm from. I don't identify with any place in particular. I am definitely a mosh-pit of all the places I've lived. (I've begun to just say that I'm an American.) Our plans are to retire to where my dh is from. But, that won't be "home" to me until (Lord willing) we get there.

PiCO Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I don't consider Colorado to be nothwest or southwest. I consider the Rockies (from the Canadian border south to the Mexican border) to be my region. However, I think if you tried to get everyone's region in a poll you would have about 100 regions to choose from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I recently visited my parents who recently moved up to the Pacific Northwest. Man alive! It was beautiful. Yep! In the area we live we can see Mount Baker to the north, Mount Rainier to the south, the Cascades to the east and the Olympics to the west! It's like a little Switzerland! Which is cool, cuz as I was growing up, I fell in love with Switzerland, and always wanted to go there. This is the closest I've come to that, so love it ere! :D Oh yeah, I was born in Ca, and lived almost everywhere in Ca--northern the least, but southern and central a lot of places! I lived in Phoenix, AZ for a year when I was 6-7. Then after I graduated from college I worked on a Navajo Mission in New Mexico for 2 years. Then back to Ca, where I got married to my WONDERFUL dh. We moved to Washington State, the lovely Pacific NW 1 1/2 years later. In November of this year we'll have been here for 19 years! The house we live in now is only our 2nd house since we moved here! Strange to me, after moving so much when I was little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommieeeee Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am from California (Bay Area)... I don't consider it the Southwest or the Northwest so I don't know how to vote!:tongue_smilie: Me too! I guess that as Californians we consider ourselves our own zone. I didn't vote because we are not Northwest (that would be Washington, Oregon) or Southwest (New Mexico, Arizona). I am from the San Francisco Bay Area too. Besides shouldn't California be it's own category? I know everyone thinks this state is just weird (myself included sometimes!).
