We are New Englanders

Joel and I had this big discussion in order to answer the question, "Where do we tell people we are from in Hawaii?". We had never really thought about this before. He is from Minnesota, but lived everywhere in the world. I grew up in West Virginia. We met at Virginia Tech and lived there in Virginia for the first 2 years of our marriage. Then we came to Boston. What a hodge podge. But, we believe we are New Englanders. We are from Boston, MA. This is where we have spend the majority of our married life together growing as one as God intended us. This is where our 2 children where born, again defining our marriage in a new way. This is where we have watched them grow (so far). We LOVE the Red Sox. We love Boston. We have loved our 4.5 years here and all God has given us here making this more and more our home together. So as we watched our express shipment being packed up today (Asher tearful of his toys going on the big truck and saying "See you in Hawaii!"), we have decided...we are New Englanders.
