I live in NJ and love it. There are not many places in the U.S. where you experience all seasons & most ethnicities. I can honestly say growing up in NJ creates a well-rounded person. Skiing in the winter, the shore in the summer, pumpkin picking in between and allergies in the spring. Ok say I don’t love it, but enjoy it and will be raising my kids here with my husband.

I love my Uggs and hate hairspray. So get that image of the sterotypical “Jersey girl” out of you head. However, nothing beats the local diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I can curse any truck driver under the table. Not my best feature but it comes with the territory.
