My life would be very different if the move had never happened.

Well, Thursday's blog comes into view while traveling slowly along the gloomy Thursday morning.

The subject of today's blog is having one event hypothetically not happen in your life, and writing how it would affect how things are today.

Well, it's pretty cliche, I know, but the move from Pennsylvania to Michigan really had quite an effect.

Well, first of all, and most obvious of all, I'd still be living down in the 'ol church. It was actually a pretty nice place to live; very spacious, of course, plus several little hidden wonders about the building.

However, it was mortgaged, plus the roof was cracked pretty badly (if you took a loooooooong bamboo stick, you could chip off one-square-foot chunks of roof. Seriously.)

Second of all, we wouldn't be nearly as financially stable as we are in this little town. It's a lot better here (I can do my strange experiments on old computers, yay!)

Third and last, Michigan is just a much more enjoyable place to live. Friendly people, a beach just three miles away, cleaner air, all around great place; that's Michigan. Pennsylvania just can't compare.

All-in-all, I don't think we would be extremely happy if we had never moved. Then again, I wouldn't know, since I had never compared living in my old town to living up here.

Moves do have an impact on a lot of things.
I don't think anywhere can compare to Michigan. I mean where else has it snowed in June?

It has snowed NO WHERE else in June! LOL!

I moved from the lower peninsula to the upper peninsula and that was... beyond life changing. Just amazing.

So I understand that one.

Moving does have a great impact. I moved four times and each time I moved it changed me a little. But I think what changes a person the most when they move is the place that they move to.

Plus, I have to agree with all of you about the U.P. being the best place on Earth.(My family in NJ might say otherwise, but what do they know about U.P. winters and how much fun they can be?)I love it here!
