Storytime #6: Moving/visits from place to place in the United States/other places

When I was a baby until a kid, my parents and I were in my first childhood home in East Atlanta, Georgia, United States for most of my five years of age. I don’t remember much back then, but I remember I used to have a babysitter who was kind to me. She was couple years older than me, but stay respectful. Also I can remember when I was a toddler, one of my father’s relatives give me a Baby-Walker to help me learn to walk. One day, I was in the Baby-Walker playing in a open garage of our home. And suddenly, it roll off from our house into a down hill street. Luckily, my father was in the yard when he saw me. He ran to save me just in time before a truck appeared into our neighborhood, coming toward me. It’s weird because I was happy then from the ride of my life, but my father was puzzled after he saved me from the truck.
By the early 90s, when my parents and I moved to Lithonia, Georgia, United States; it was better place to live for a while. Our house back then was a three-story home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms - upstairs [third level] and one half bathroom - downstairs [second level.] I had couple of friends to hangout with, a neighborhood lake, a neighborhood swimming pool, a neighborhood tennis court (which not many people / neighbors used) and a neighborhood playground. My favorite thing about that neighborhood lake was, it’s a place where I could play on the neighborhood playground, which was a few yards away, from the neighborhood lake; when I was a kid. Somedays, I just go to the neighborhood lake and sit on a bench or stand near the playground, away from the neighborhood lake for a couple of minutes or so; where I could daydream or clear my head of many things, then go back home; when I was in my teens until my earlier twenties. In addition, during my time at Lithonia, Georgia; I had many things I used to do in Lithonia, Georgia for years - (from the age of five until my earlier twenties.)
My parents and I used to see my grandparents on my mother’s side in Port St. Lucie, Florida, United States. Their house was a ranch home with a swimming pool that was a shape of a kidney. Sometimes, mother’s brother visits us there to check on my grandparents to see for their okay. My parents and I would stay in Florida for a few days or so before going back home to Georgia.
I used ride a motorcycle with my father to many places. I been to a few States of the United States, for example; Florida, United States; South Carolina, United States; and Virginia, United States; just to name a few. I still ride with him, but not as much or as far. However, we do go to a memorial ride with a small group of bikers (motorcycle club) in the spring, every year to pay our respects of a member who was also a biker too.
By 2009, my parents and I moved again to a ranch condo home in Powder Springs, Georgia, United States. For a while, it was nice; just for the three of us. But the only problem was it became little too small to invite guest to came over to our home. Our home had two bedrooms and two bathrooms - [all on first level.] It was in a senior community condo ranch houses. I didn’t like being there because their was no one to talk to in my age range, except my parents. - (From my earlier twenties until my late twenties.)
Then couple of years later, (at the beginning of the fall season of 2016,) we moved again into our current location; but still in Powder Springs, Georgia. However, while our house was being built; we had to move into our former reality agent’s home, for eight long months from 2016 until 2017 before we could finally move into our home in summer of 2017. The best thing about my current location is it’s also a ranch, but it also has an upstair room just for me. Our home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms - [on first level] with another bedroom and bathroom - upstairs [second level.] - (From the age of 30 until present age.)
During all of our second, third and final houses, I been going to college. I had to transfer into two other colleges before I transfer into my current college. From the first half of 2008 only - Georgia Perimeter College (former) Georgia State University-Perimeter College (current.) Then from the second half of 2008 until 2009 - Dekalb Technical College (former) Georgia Piedmont Technical College (current.) And finally from beginning of 2010 until presents - Chattahoochee Technical College (currently.) Of these first two colleges I been to, I didn’t finish because of some personal issues or we had to move to a place that further away, however; with the last college, I’m getting close to being finish.
Also between 2008 - 2016, I been in three cruise ships. (Twice with my mother and a group in 2008 and 2009. And once with both of my parents in 2016.) I visited a couple places outside of the United States while cruising - The Caribbean Islands: St. Martin, Jamaica, and the Bahamas; just to name a few.
We’re planning (my parents and I) are going on another cruise this year - in the summer of 2019. I can’t wait until then to meet new people from all over the country.
