I'm originally from Michigan but I live in Belize. I've lived here for 10 years now, it's home. My husband and I are American expats living in Belize and will be American/Belizean I suppose once we get our paperwork back on our dual citizenship, as of now we're considered permanent residents. I'm of French/Polish/American Indian/and German origin, a classic all American melting pot girl now living in the tropics.
Isn't it funny how a simple "where are we all from?" question can have so many answers? Where we were born, where we have lived most of our adult lives and what nationality/origin our parents are are just a few of the possible answers. I'm sure there are other ladies who have even more intricate histories, being born one place, growing up another, living as an adult in another, etc. Today we went to a local park where Belizeans get in free and the park guide said, "You da Belizean, everyone know you are a local, not a tourist" in Kriol. Having official permanent residency here for so long means I am Belizean yet I am American too. It's nice having two cultures. One I was born in and one I adopted. I appreciate both.

Love seeing all the Michiganders! I grew up in Bay City, Michigan and went "up north" for getaways at times throughout the year. I do miss seasons. Michigan in the fall is so beautiful.
