I am living in AZ with my husband and son, we have been here for 7 years. My husband graduated from Southern and grew up in Vicksburg. I am from Louisiana. We are trying to move back home, had enough of the plastic people and cookie cutter neighborhoods. Just want to go back where people take care of each other instead of driving into their garages at night and not coming out till morning. I have only seen my next door neighbors here 3 times in 4 years. Our houses here are so close together that I can hear my other neighbors talking in their backyard, like they were in mine. I miss trees and water and grass and rain and I just wanna go home. I get a kick out of reading all that's going on in Hattiesburg and hope to feel at home when we finally make it back to the South!!!!!

Hey Opheliapo, Welcome :clap:

Glad to have you at least where you can talk to 'real people' and

hear news from 'home' (the great South)... Hope you enjoy gabbing

with us and are able to move back to the area in the near future.......:smt023

Howdy!

I know what you mean about the trees, grass, and water. I've traveled a little in that part of the world and I could never imagine myself living there.

Hello to my new friend from Arizona. Happy to report that my son has made it back to the great State of Mississippi. He stayed in Jackson last night and I hope to see him today. Jump right in on the conversations. Don't believe what you hear about me. Some of it can't be true. The other part of it I'll deny until the lawyer says it is time to plea bargain.

Honey, glad to know that your son made it home. The Grand Canyon is the one place that I go to repeatedly here in AZ. We always take friends and relatives up there when they come to visit. Thanks everyone for the nice welcome, I can't wait to get back home!!

Is "coming home" a wish or is it in the works?

In the works!! Hubby had to finish his MBA first, now that's done, and we are ready to pack up and head home as soon as the right job comes along. We are fine here in AZ, just homesick for our families and friends in MS and LA

Oh, I went to Warren Central. My wife went to Vicksburg High, though. She is a bit younger, probably don't know each other.
