I live 45 minutes to an hour west of Detroit, Michigan. Lived here most of my life except when my ex was in grad school- then we lived in New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Boston. I was born in Texas but we moved to Michigan when I was 2. I've been to the Upper Peninsula, Interlochen music camp and Sleeping Bear Dunes, to name a few places. The Great Lakes are huge! It's like staring out into the ocean- no land to be seen!
