It was nice enough (still is; my mother still lives there and I was just up there over the holidays). We lived on the same hill as Pat’s Peak (the ski area) which made it hell in winter (the trip down the hill this past Thursday was less than enchanting).

Not from a military family- just raised by a certifiably crazy mother who thought nothing of pulling us out of school to drive to the next “great place”. She had enrolled us in 22 different schools by grade 10. I moved far less once she kicked me out at age 16. The past 18 years have been quite stable, really. Just moved one month ago as my husband got a job that required we relocate, and I hope to never move again. Ever.
