I would have gone that far. As it turns out, I didn't have to go nearly that far though... 350 miles. From Minnesota to the Michigan U.P. Gary and I could have gone either way, but Emi was just starting high school when we met and I didn't want to move her away from the only home (area) that she'd known. So I said I'd make the move!

I moved from Seattle to Colorado Springs to be with the man I love. Best move ever even tho I nearly ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere Idaho in the predawn. I learned to stop at any gas station, even if I had a half tank of gas.

I moved from Illinois to Wisconsin.

Ten miles.

Oklamoni,,Bist du eina deutscher? ish blibt of dem flugplatz Bitburg & der flugplatz Spangdahlem for 4 yr.

I went from Texas to Massacusetts to be with Jan, then circumstances separated us for about 30 years and 15 months ago I moved from Ohio to be with her, which is where I intend to stay now....

The first time - about 30 miles.
This last time - more like 5 miles.

But, a move is a move. A move away from what and where you are comfortable.

New Orleans to Tucson, Arizona. Marriage didn't last but my love of Arizona did. I'm still here!

Lazypup, yes, I was a German. :)

I moved more than that.

After the initial move I moved 130 mile, then 180 miles, then 75 miles, then 98 miles.

After all that, I decided he wasn't worth it, and I moved again, solo this time, 5 miles, 17 miles, 8 miles, 5 miles.... and am hoping to find a house soon, to quit this moving business!

Germany to AZ back to Germany, from there to WA State, NJ, Colorado, and now TX. :o)

I moved from Western New York to Long Island (450 miles) to marry my first husband.
My parents warned me not to marry him, turns out they were right. Once we split (separated, before the divorce) I felt terribly lost, because my family was so far away.

i moved from southern Delaware to Western New York to be with the man i love. i drove that almost 500 miles on the hottest day of the year in june 2010, with no air conditioning in my car. i would do it all over again in a heartbeat!! ;)

I wouldn't move to the next chair for that loser, emotional abuser, lazy thing. Sleeps all day, calls ME a b#%^&, and threatens to "knock my head off". I wish he would, then I can get him out of here. I'm through, done, finished with him.

After moving from Des Moines to Ames for a couple of years' training in hospital food service, Sue transferred to Cornell, as she thought that she'd like to find work in the eastern sates and that their recruiters'd be more enthused about a Cornell Grad: they and Iowa State agreed as to who were number one and two in that game in the U.S., but didn't quite agree on the relative ranking of those two.

On recommendation of our mission Board, I was taking a one-year course in adult ed. at Cornell, and we met on a blind date - and she wasn't my date.

We spent some time together and there was talk of marriage prior to my return to Korea, Sue having completed three years of a four-year course ... but I'd seen my mother become ill when I was about 6, and thousands of familes disrupted due to the refugee situation in Korea, so said that she should stay to finish her degree ... which she did.

Then took ship to (South) Korea and we were married there, with no member of either family attending.

Lasted some over 11 years, it did.

Two kids, one born in Korea (the Japanese shop girls loved his fine, flaxen hair at age about 20 mos., en route back to N.America). Now they've achieved, or are closing in on, the ripe old age of 50.

No grands ... though son sort of has a couple, more or less by proxy.

Germany to AZ, then to the hills of KY. Big mistake.

I should have moved a thousand miles for my ex -- in the other direction.

From Northern Calif to Southern Calif. Just far enough where family won't just drop in unexpectedly. :-)

Jodi-

First from No California to So. California (USMC base).... then so many places that in hindsight were the most remarkable 24 years one could experience. I say "hindsight" because those moves were never easy, the distances very far and sometimes very scary, but....I love having "rose colored glasses" and being able to not remember the bad as well as the wonders we saw and the wonderful we experienced.. My memories are the best and I am thankful every day.

dedtired, I hope, I won't feel the same in a few years. At this time, I plan to hang around here. I think, I have a better chance to see my daughter and her family more often this way. Her sis, and her dad live nearby.

Anyhow, that is the reason I am hanging around here.
