Around 6-8 miles depending on the route.
For DH it is about 18 or so. FWIW we now live in the town we first met. ( worked at the same company).

Right nextdoor!

Rode the bus one hour each way until high school. We had an extra car we were allowed to drive to school. Since I was the youngest, I only got to drive my senior year, but rode with my brother and sister the rest of the time. It saved us 45 minutes each way. It was quite the luxury!

I am an Army brat, so childhood home is a misnomer. My last home with my parents was in Arizona and I consider that home. I live in PA now, a little over 2000 miles away.

Thank you for your service!

10 miles.

9.8 miles, about a 20 minute drive across the bridge from South jersey to the street I lived on as a baby.

I would say
When my dog died when I was 12.

 

[NannyBeBe]

When my daddy backed out of the driveway not knowing that my dog was lying behind the back tire. He had to tell me when I got home from school that my dog was dead. We both cried and cried.

No bad family things really happened to me when I was a kid, no deaths in the family until I was in my teens (I don't count my one great-grandmother, because she was mean to me and I didn't like her much.)

So, as shallow as this may sound, the day Elvis died I cried all day. I was a fanatic for him- I had pictures of him all over my room, and all of his albums. I was 9 years old, and absolutely devastated. First time I had to deal with death at all.

Go to college, get my degree, get a job and get married. Everything worked out in that order.

Not awkwardly. Meeting Rick Springfield

Be a lawyer or accountant for a big firm. My dad had a midlife crisis and became a lawyer so I stopped that idea. And my junior year I realized I hated accounting but decided too late to change.

I now work at a college and love it so it all worked out eventually. Got my masters in higher education administration and that was for sure the major I should have been in all along.

Get out of the small town I spent my formative years in. My parents loved it and stayed until they passed. I lived a variety of places after high school and even traveled to and lived in Europe for 13 years. I did finally go back to my home town after that and spend some time there, even bought a house. My parents were starting to decline and I liked being close.

Work during the summer and go to college thereafter. No imagination I guess.
