I have been living in my house for twenty-one years!

hi rogue! i have been living in our house for almost 26 years. i'm turning 26 this month. (but i would prefer it if you will forever think that i'm 25 ) when i was a kid, we rented an apartment twice in different towns (because of some problems) but we didn't live too long there and we went back here. there's no place like home and even if at times, i get to live to another place because of school/work, i still go back here since this is my home. i love it. and i'm sure the rest of the family does.

I would have loved to live in a house that long, one that my daughter's could forever call home, even when they were out on their own. But, instead I have lived in 23 houses/apartments, in 9 cities/towns, in two states. In 48 years, the longest I lived in one house was 8 years. My parents have lived in the same house for 9 years. My s/o will be taking early retirement the first part of 2009, and we are looking at buying a house, so hopefully, after we move to whereever.....I won't be moving for a long while. lol But ya never know where life will lead you. I can say that no matter where I lived, I always made it feel like home, for however long I lived there.

Well, I could say that we have a slight similarity. When I was about five years old, I lived with my aunt (my mom's younger sibling) and her family here in the city. I started and finished my schooling here and eventually, worked for more than five consecutive years in a financial institution and served as my first official job after graduation from college. I was already twenty seven then. So, if my calculations are right, I've lived with them in a single house for more than two decades. After this, I decided to try my luck in the province. I was able to do so and got married there, too. But in the year 2004, my husband and I decided to relocate and stay here in the city again to work. Job opportunities in the province and normally scarce compared to chances here in the metropolitan area. But we are now renting a house other than the house where my aunt's family formerly lived. I've been in my third job now for almost four years.
