My parents still live in the house where I was born and raised (and conceived-thanks for giving me that information, Mom!), and it feels like home in a big way, but "home" is also where ever John and I are together-we're in our 3rd home so far, and each one is better than the last!A Crimson Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474778213617208638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-62102086296665884722011-05-23T16:31:04.372-04:002011-05-23T16:31:04.372-04:00home is sarasota, florida. always has, always will...home is sarasota, florida. always has, always will. I am actually headed back for a trip in a few days and when people ask where I am going I say "back home". and when I get "home" (which is the only house I lived in until college), i know my mom will say "welcome home". and it seems weird that i still call it home considering i own a home with my husband. that should be home, and really it is... for now. I love our home. it's where my heart is now.. but I know it's not forever. so I think when we find that "forever home" that is when it will truly be home. for now I am enjoying the place my husband will always consider home. Being in his hometown (area) makes me appreciate who he is so much more. He will always look at Maryland, like I look at Florida: home. <br /><br />enjoy indiana xoxox :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309462251336029598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-53418318930986406142011-05-23T16:11:15.225-04:002011-05-23T16:11:15.225-04:00My home will always be Michigan.

When I went...This is such a loaded question for me! When I went to college, I DREADED people asking me ‘where are you from?’ As a military brat I never really knew where my ‘home’ was – I was born in San Diego, but only lived there for 5 years, so I guess I’m not really from there. Then I lived in Pensacola, back to San Diego, in Maryland, in Italy, back to MD for a bit, in Florida for college, and now I’m a DC transplant! I guess my rule of thumb is to just consider wherever you are at the moment your ‘home!’ That, or wherever family is, is home to me. And actually, the reason my blog is named traveling anchor has something to do with this very idea: http://traveling-anchor.blogspot.com/p/anchors-aweigh.html. So yes, definitely a subject close to my heart. :) And home is where the heart is!!
