I was born in Arizona in 2000 and so was my sister back in 1991. My parents have lived in Arizona ever since my mom moved there when she was a senior in high school and my dad lived there even since he was younger. They had lived together for about 24 years and when my sister was 15 and I was 4 , as a family we moved from Glendale,Arizona to Seneca, Missouri. Technically though we lived in in Joplin for about 6 months in a rental house across from the Joplin high school (the old one before the tornado). In 2005 my parents actually bought our blue house on road 86 on my 5th birthday that year! Eventhung was going smoothly, but honestly now that I look back my life would have been so much different if we had just stayed in Arizona. I would actually be used to that kind of gross dry heat, I would be even more so applying sunscreen year round, and I would not have my friends I do now and think of that makes me sad or I wouldnt have any of the things I have now for that matter. I would still be living in the yellow house with my small treehouse in the backyard with saguaro cacti in our front yard surrounded by little rock pebbles. I wouldn't have gone through the blue house to our grey house that my mom and I live in now. Sometimes I really miss living in Glendale because most of my family is there and I have hardly any relatives that live in the surrounding states. I am happy that my family and I did end up here in Seneca, Missouri because of right now it just makes sense of this is where I'm meant to finish my very young adult years and move on to another city or another state to start my next adult years.
