View Full Version : How many times have you moved?
in your entire life?
I'll have to count later, but I know it's been at least 20. And I wasn't even an army brat or anything! LOL
I'm so glad I'm FINALLY in the house that we plan/hope to retire in. Actually, I've lived here longer already (5 years) than I think I've lived anywhere else!
Becky in NM 05-12-2007, 08:46 AM OK, if you don't count college dorms/apartments, I've moved five times. I grew up in the same house all my life, lived in a couple of different apartments in Boston, then another apartment for a year when we moved here to Albuquerque, then into our house. We've been in our house for almost five years. I'd love it if we never moved!
stephiehatt 05-12-2007, 09:14 AM 6 times if you don't include college dorms/apartments.
Youngstown, New York to Libertyville, IL
Libertyville, IL to Charleston, IL
Charleston, IL to Libertyville, IL
Libertyville, IL to Vernon Hills, IL
Vernon Hills, IL to Vernon Hills, IL (first apartment to our condo that we bought)
Vernon Hills, IL to Gurnee, IL (when we bought our house)
I would only move again to my dream house which would have a huge front porch and lots of character. Otherwise I am staying put.
AvasMommy 05-12-2007, 09:19 AM Hmmm...probably about 15 entire life. 2 different houses in OH before we moved to FL when I was 7/8, 4 houses here, moved to Gainesville to go to UF, moved to Raleigh, NC w/ my ex, moved back to FL, and then dh and I have moved like 5 times. We bought this house 3 years ago, and we'll be here for awhile.
All in Illinois:

Christine 05-12-2007, 10:43 AM Only 4 times - from Sacremento Ca to STL and then to a few houses in STL. We have lived in our home now for almsot 9 years. We will probably be moving in the next few years - but staying close to where we are now. I have not moved too far - I live within walking distance of where I went to grade school.

kimber 05-17-2007, 07:47 PM Hi
Well, I see I'm not the only person who's moved around a lot
I've only lived in 2 states (NJ and PA)
BUT moved at least 10-15x
Since DH and I have been married this is our 3rd place
Before we married we bought a condo together
We them moved into a 3 bedroom home
About 1 yr ago we moved into a 4 bedroom about 30min from where we bought out first home
I HATE HATE HATE it here, and really want to love again
I would like to move back to were we lived previously or further South Jersey by my mom/bro and sil...neices
We were hoping this would be out retirement house, but guess it just wasn't meant to be
8 times in six years. Gotta love the Navy.
Debbie 05-18-2007, 10:55 PM Oh I can't list them all but I am counting 15 for now.......now that I'm thinking it has been more:sad5: and I don't plan to stay here.
