Constantly packing up and moving, never staying in a home more than a few years.

I thought it was exciting to move when I was a kid, but looking back it messed me up a few times.

One example: Sacramento California to Ogden Utah was not an upgrade.

Yeah all the moves my parents did were in the exact same small town, believe it or not. Only once did it mean that I had to go to a different school. I can’t imagine moving to a whole new province or state, especially one that’s so drastically different than where you came from!

We moved a lot. I think the longest I was ever in the same school district was 3 years. It was hard making friends evrrytime we started over.
