Identity Crisis

I have never thought about laws and how they affect me because, largely, they never have.  The big ones growing up were obvious-- no driving til 16, become an adult at 18, drink/gamble at 21, don't speed, don't steal... basics.

But what about residency?  I am legally a California resident.  When I move to Japan, where will I claim residency?  I can't claim Okinawa.  I won't have any ties to California.  I suppose I could claim Illinois because that's where the Mr is a resident, but I legally don't have any ties there.  I wonder if I should get an Arizona ID because I could use my parent's address, but I don't have any legal rights to do that, either.  So, where do I belong?

Such a little thing to take for granted... Where are you from?  I claim Riverdale, IL because I lived there until I was 10 and it's the longest I've lived in one zip code (I even had 2 addresses there!).  I'm 28 and have lived at 17 different addresses (15 if you don't count my dorm addresses). 

I'm looking forward to getting out of the military and settling down!  This is fun now when it doesn't really matter to K where she lays her head down at night, but my dream is that K will be able to go back to her room she grew up in and show her children her childhood room.  I want that kind of stability.  I want deep, deep roots.
