I lived in Houston for 9 years...I still love the city. One day things will slow down and we'll go visit. Though in this case, it would be the parents dragging the kids around....but maybe that will get me to finally visit NASA.

Boy, do I feel this one. My dad was in the Navy, and we moved every two years until I was 12. I still remember living in Waukegan, IL for the blizzard of '77, the school I went to in Pensacola, FL and visiting Mt. Etna when we lived in Sicily. Great post!

Love it! I grew up in a lot of different places. I went to 13 different schools between kindergarten & my senior year, but it also made me a citizen of the world and I think gave me so much more empathy & compassion. Moving was hard for sure, but it made me who I am and if I could, I wouldn’t go back and change a thing!

That is a lot! I think of what I could have been had we had a consistent childhood, but it also made me who I am. It's hard to imagine me without each of those places.
