ways but I'd prefer them to be a little closer. My mom works for Delta, now, and this makes it much easier to see her. It's nice that she can come spend time with her grandkids somewhat regularly. It's nice for us to have sitters (especially those that can do overnight stuff). We don't get to see my in-laws (who I really like) very often and it kinda sucks.

I also grew up away from family and I was always kind of jealous of my cousins and friends that lived close to their grandparents and cousins. Really am not close to my extended family because of this.

Now, we've never really lived close, so I haven't had the other side. Also, i've lived all over the country, so getting away from Utah and experiencing other places wasn't a need.
