James was born and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He's used to the city life, however he always complains about New York and the people in it, and definitely prefers the country. A lot of people would think that because he is from a huge city like New York he'd find the country really boring but that's not true. He's not a party person or a club-going person or shopping person so he doesn't find the city very appealing. Soon he will move to Massachusetts to live with family and be closer to me, and be living in the country. Massachusetts is four hours closer. He may be a city boy on the outside but he's a country boy at heart.
I was born and grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia, so I'm used to small towns and definitely more of a country girl. So whenever I say James is a country boy and I'm a country girl, we're not talking about the stereotypes. Just that I mean to say that we both prefer the country to the city. Anyway, I've lived in five different places. When I was 8 me and my family left the log house that my parents built that we grew up in, only to move from place to place until we found one to rent. We ended up staying there for 10 years until we finally move here, to this place, and we own it rather than rent. It comes with 300 acres of forest land as well. I have experienced living in a city when I went to college in Dartmouth for two years. In case you didn't know, Dartmouth is next to Halifax which is our capital city. It was a shock to me and I much prefer the quietness of the country. Although living within walking distance of places was nice, I have to admit.
