When we left Amsterdam, my family moved to Nashville, TN for three years. I was there when I started high school. I don’t think I can call Nashville ‘my city’ because I didn’t live there for very long, but it is my favorite city that I’ve lived in. There’s just something magical about that place which can’t be replicated by any other city. I made great friends there and maybe someday it’ll be where I end up. After Nashville, I spent many years in Birmingham, AL. I finished high school and college there along with making some of my best friends. My Mom, Dad, and siblings are there and it’s home. I never thought I would call Birmingham my home but it really is. I was there when I did the most important parts of growing up. I don’t live there now though, so can I call it ‘my city’? For almost a year, I’ve lived in Charleston, SC with my husband and kids. This city is family friendly and there is always something to do. We’ve been to the beach, visited the U.S.S. Yorktown, walked downtown, and so much more but Charleston isn’t ‘my city’. I’d like to say it is because who wouldn’t want to be ten minutes from the beach? That’s something I literally always wanted but Birmingham is my home and that’s where I truly want to be. I’d rather be near the people I love and have to drive four hours to the beach then be this far away.
