Re: Re: How far away do you live?

[Guest guest]

I moved 2 states away, which in the midwest is pretty far. I at first moved

to the other side of town where my college was, and then ended up having to

move to a large city because my husband can't drive.

It did move us away from his parents and sister, who all are wonderful and

supportive, but I'm adjusting to the city live and we're both making

friends.
