So does your house! as for your question, I think I may be part Gypsy.<BR/><BR/>In the past eleven years, my husband and I have lived in three states – Florida, California and Illinois – and nine homes- three of which we owned. In high school, my parents moved from Chicago to Boston to London. Then, in and after college, they moved to California then Virginia then Arizona then back to Virginia and then back to California. They've been in Malibu for three years now. And no my dad isn't in the military – he's in advertising.<BR/><BR/>Agggh!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231706346312491242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-46776491634112685592008-10-27T11:50:00.000-06:002008-10-27T11:50:00.000-06:00Dee -- I don't know if the bears have attempte...Dee -- I don't know if the bears have attempted those stairs yet. If you look at them, you'd think whoever built them was drunk when he designed them. They're really steep and literally go at an angle. It's tricky going up & down them.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-39205548402492862832008-10-27T07:21:00.000-06:002008-10-27T07:21:00.000-06:00Beautiful house!

It was then demolished to make room for road improvements - so we were the only family to live there.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583029102450754497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-47422160589086729782008-10-26T23:37:00.000-06:002008-10-26T23:37:00.000-06:00Love your house. have the bears come up those fron...Love your house. have the bears come up those front steps yet?<BR/>I have lived in 7 houses all up.<BR/><BR/>House one, only as a baby, then Moved when I was 2 to the house I spent priamry school in in Victoria, moved to Queensland at 14 in one place for two years, mum and dad bought the house they are in now, so thats number 4, then as I moved out and rented, 5, 6 and now 7.

I counted our Ojai house as two because we lived in the older home first and then after burning it down, we lived in the newer one. Two different houses, same address for 17+ years!Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-71778026551153113582008-10-26T19:19:00.000-06:002008-10-26T19:19:00.000-06:00I lived in 5 different houses growing up in the sa...I lived in 5 different houses growing up in the same town due to circumstances. Then I moved to Wyoming and in the 25 years I've lived here I have lived in 5 different houses too. Weird!

Hopefully we will be in our current house for many more years. As a child, I lived in two different houses, both in ths same neighborhood.

It's the house I grew up in. I have LOTS of stories that go along with this house.<BR/><BR/>But after I went to college and got married, my husband and I lived in probably about 7 places before ending up here. (That doesn't include all the apartments I lived in during my college years.)Kimbra Kaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955657301998255029noreply@blogger.com
