    My dad, brother/fiance/2 year old neice live 15 minutes away.
    My sister/husband/nephew and my brother/wife live 25 minutes away (opposite directions)
    My oldest neice/husband/4 year old great neice live 3 hours north.
    My 2nd oldest neice/fiance lives 3 hours south.

    So we are all fairly close.

    Where in Oregon?

    Now, let's see. My dad and stepmom live in eastern Oregon and I miss them. My grandfather, sister, and brother live in Eugene and I miss them. The rest of my maternal family are a bunch of morons that I'd rather not associate with. I don't know my dad (bio) so I couldn't tell you about his family.

    The only family I have left are 3 cousins, a brother and my daughter. My brother lives the farthest away in Shrewsbury, Mass. The rest all live in Connecticut within driving distance.

    I can understand you being lonely. When I was in Michigan, I missed them all terribly. That was one of the reasons I moved back to CT.

    Think of all of us here on PT as your extended family. We're here for ya!

    My closest family is 2,500km away. The rest are over 3,000km. I go back once a year usually to see my immediate family. My parents usually come here once a year. If my sister didn't have kids, I'd probably never go back, but I miss my nieces.

    My FIL lives just down the road from us, but I don't really consider him family. We aren't close at all and I"m not happy he followed us up here.

    They live in a very small town right outside of Salem.

    All my family lives far away (not counting my parents and sister because I live with them) the members on my mom's side live two and a half hours away. The members on my dad's side live six-seven hours away.

    Not too far away, but they're away nonetheless. I'm living in the dorms at school so my family and my Hoodlums are about 2.5 hours away from me. As for the rest of my family, they all live somewhere in Michigan, all except my Grandma who lives in Arizona. I have an Aunt that lives only about 45 minutes from here and she's picked me up the last three weekends and took me to agility trials, so that's kinda nice.

    edit: My oldest brother is moving to Georgia within the next month, though

    Seems like my family has always been scattered, for many years, my kids lived 500 miles-1500 miles away because their dad (my ex) took them and moved every couple years. Now we're all back in Ohio, they are still 100 miles from here, but at least I can see them once in a while.
    My brothers are 2 hrs.(OH) away and 12 hours away (Maine). Rest of my side of the family live in VT, MA, and FL. My husband's family are in OH, WI, VA and CA. I invite friends over for holiday meals who also don't have any family close-by.

    I live in Columbus, and my family lives in Cleveland. So I am about 2 1/2 hours away from home.

    But when I make my decision to move to Tennessee, I will be at least 10-12 hours from home. (that is, after I graduate from college.)
