 * //__My state__//** Michigan! Love it. Lived here my entire life, with no plans of moving (although if a rich man were to marry me I'd be ok with a part time ocean front property...


 * //__Why?__//** Love the seasons. Sometimes you can even have four seasons in one day. Every time a new season starts, I think to myself "this is my favorite season". Then I think the same thing for the next season, and so it goes. http://michpics.wordpress.com/category/fall/


 * //__My hometown__//** Carleton, Michigan. What a nice little town to call home. Even got our own little dairy farm where kids can stop and visit the cows, then have some fresh ice cream. []

__//**M!ch!gan**//__ I remember as a kid the Yes M!ch!gan campaign. I kept thinking, "Why did they spell Michigan wrong? People will think we're stupid." As I said, I was a kid and it made sense at the time.

__**//It's cool//**__ It looks like a mitten. How great is that? "I live here" and point to a spot on your hand (the second hand can easily be used for the U.P. too eh). []
