distance

The first time I moved (when I was 6) we went about 20 miles. Just under a year later, we moved twenty miles back near the original location. When I moved out of my mom's house, I went .63 miles. When I moved out of my apartment and into my own house, I went 300 feet. When Cyn and I bought this house, we moved 3.3 miles. I now live seven tenths of a mile from where I started.
