Grew up in VA Beach and was living in Alexandria, VA before moving out west.

I so miss the Northern VA area!

It's okay, hon! I just became a displaced Virginian in New York. I'm going to miss the JewMom and lazy days on the beach at Fort Story, but not the traffic!

CSPA. Don't laugh, I went to JMU for band camp for 2 years :P It was too big for undergrad for me, but I still love the place. The program there is amazing, too.
