introducing friday top ten.

ten places i've lived.

aurora, ohio

(gig harbor, washington)

georgetown, indiana

mishawaka, indiana
(shavehead lake, michigan)

sandy, utah

redlands, california

nantes, france

paris, france

sens, france

beaune, france

montreal, canada

i had to add the parentheses on washington

because i'm already cheating on my first try.
but, to defend myself,

 we had already decided to move away

by the time we arrived in washington.
it really only lasted long enough
for me to remember driving to preschool,
picking out stick-on earrings
from the glove compartment in my dad's car.

and i cheated again,
when i included shavehead lake.
because in all honesty,
that's the place that feels
the most
like home to me, after all these years.

as i look at this list 

i realize,

(excluding college)

indiana was the only state where 

we moved homes, without moving states.

i suppose it's also worth noting

that half my list has been

outside of my home country.

how's that?

what about your list?

and what other lists would you like to see?
