Live? From?, Now? Why?

I've wondered. I was born and raised in Jax, FL, Moved up here(MN) in high school, 'cause my stepmother is from here. I left for 4 years in the army, but came back. Now I'm stuck. My wife was born, raised, and her whole family lives here. Now that our daughter is 8,.......we ain't goin' nowhere(even though I could move away, at the drop of a hat). I'd love to move back, or even try Southewest. I know Burzooom, hails from the great state of Tejas, and space,frou Utah. Sal. , Greece. spacemeisters post about the booze reg.s,(sounds like a total PITA!  ) got me thinking, where are you from, why are you where you're at? What's your story? |

Utah native, born and raised. Moved around a couple of times, but the locations wouldn't mean anything to anyone but Uisce Beatha, so I won't bother, let's just say I've generally lived in the greater Salt Lake City area my whole life. As much as Utah drives me crazy, it is home, and I really love it here.
Beautiful mountains/backcountry, hiking, mountain biking, world class snowboarding, inexpensive upscale golf, etc. makes it hard to leave. That and my family is here and above all else, I love my family and like being close to them. I'm really just a homebody. The liquor laws blow (as I'm sure Uisce can attest), but they're also tolerable once you surrender yourself to them, and learn how to work around them.
Laura (mrs spaceage) hails from Rupert, Idaho, but it's basically Utah pt. II. She's more adventurous than me, having lived in a number of cities, states, etc. but she now calls Utah home, and my family is pretty much hers. I don't believe we'll stay in Bountiful much longer, but I think we'll probably be in Utah for the foreseeable future.

born: Ft Worth Texas (where incidentally, my parents born, raised, lived, still live)
left to San Antonio @ 18 for undergrad
lived San Antonio for 4 years of undergrad
left to Pittsburgh @ 22 for grad school
lived in Pittsburgh for 5.5 years now (grad school, and start of post-doc)
when i left San Antonio for Pittsburgh, I never thought how much I would miss San Antonio. this is not so much a knock on PGH (i really have grown to love it here)... just a rememberance of truly what a great, great place SA is. if someone gave me a few million now to retire on, I'd certainly put SA in my top 3 or 4 choices. I'd also be open to the Albuquerque or Santa Fe experience (visited there and amazed), Vancouver , or Athens (naturally)

Born in a hospital in Athens, Greece. Both parents from Pireaus, Greece, so naturally I lived there till 2004, when I moved to Pittsburgh. That's about it  |
