The real lj idol, week 5: Moon shot

The only thing I knew when I was younger was that I didn’t want to spend my life living in New Jersey. I just wasn’t sure where I wanted to go

As a kid I always wanted out of Maryland...yet here I am and never lived outside this state. I'm hoping one day I still get a chance to do it. I'm really glad you got out and away from your family!

I'm still open to moving again, I'd really love to live in a place with amazing hiking and more of an outdoorsy place. Texas fails on that part.

[millysdaughter]

That mostly depends on where in Texas you go...
But overall, the hiking would be much better if you move west to Albuquerque!

[lyssa027]

We do like west Texas the few times that we've driven through it ;) I would say that's on the table

“ everything is a smurf-village housing development. ”. I love this line!

[lyssa027]

It's weird LOL, all neighborhoods have 2-5 different house designs and they just repeat throughout the housing developments. In NJ, no two houses looked alike LOL

This was very well-written - nicely done!

Thank you

Highways on top of highways sounds interesting.

Hubby and I call them Hooper Blooper highways; I think that’s from Dr Seuss.

[lyssa027]

I like that

I enjoyed growing up with unlimited access to NYC, but it's not where I truly wanted to be. Texas is Texas, it's not too bad, but I want to live somewhere where there's more hiking and outdoorsy stuff... maybe one day
