Share your story! Why have you all made ---- home?

I live in San Diego because my great grandmother had an old house down here on a large piece of property. Back then the area was still “country living.” It was wild, & rural & wonderful. As a kid I spent all my free time down here. Summers, holidays, long weekends. I had an aunt & cousins that lived on the property too & it was like a never ending adventure for a city kid.

Long after my great grandmother died I moved down from LA to take care of her property. Alone. Adult. Free from the city. Pitch black. Stars. Communing with nature... It was a move that changed my life in many, many ways.

I met my future husband here. He was deployed down here for a few weeks & we just happened to meet in the bar I worked at. He was an army man in a sea of marines. He was working undercover with boarder patrol & his jeans, flannel shits & non military haircut gave me no clue he wasn’t just an average guy. It was love at first sight. Amazing because I never believed in such things & had no intention of getting married, ever.

We were married 6mos later & heading up to WA state where he was stationed. I loved WA state & I still wish I had a house up there. But costal San Diego has a certain smell that pulls at my heart & smells like home. It’s hard to describe, sort of like salt & sage & fennel. When he got out of the military I was torn. I love the PNW (it has a very soothing smell too, like fresh pine trees & orchids in a greenhouse) but I needed to come home. We went back to caretaking my grandmothers place until the powers that be decided to sell it. We were suddenly in a time crunch to find a house. We could’ve gone anywhere at that point, but we decided to stay here. I’m constantly looking for a new state to move to, but I know I probably never will. Maybe if I can find a place that smells like this, I might.

Coolest story!

I'll second that. I, too, know about love at first sight or maybe 'extreme like' at first sight.
