Thumbs up Another "Get to know you" post...location!

I saw that someone posted about anyone living in Denver, CO. I thought it might be interesting to see where in the US (if you don't feel comfortable posting city, just state is fine) you are!! I wonder if there are enough of us that there is one from every state?? Plus, it also helps to find others in your state to get to know better through a stressful process like this, I'm sure!!

I'm Theresa, from Nebraska (Gooooo Huskers!!!)
