Where do you consider home? Is it the place you grew up; the place you're currently living? Why is it home?

Home, eh? That's a tough one. Mostly because when I was growing up my family moved a total of 5 times, and since then, my husband and I have moved a total of 9 times. So that's 14 different physical 'homes' in my short 25 years. That means I've moved an average of once every 1.7 years. "Home" the street address is never home for long.
I guess, for me, the feeling of home comes not so much from a building, but from the people and things in the building. I feel at home as long as I have my books, and my couch, and my gecko, and my husband.
There are plenty of adages about where home is...
"Home is Where You Hang Your Hat" - Okay, sure home is where ever you go and unwind, relax and be casual...
"Home is Where The Heart Is" - I can see that. Home is the place you wish you were.
"Home is Where They Stand By You" - Yep, that sounds true enough. Home is where you're accepted.
--similarly--
"Home is Where They Have To Let You In" - Home is where you're accepted no matter what.
"Home is Where The Navy/Army/Marine Corps/Air Force Sends Us" - Home is where you're stationed.
"Home is Where You Hang Your @" - This one seems to ring true for me. HighlandAmy.com has been my cyber home through 3 physical homes... hopefully more, as I'd like to hang on to the domain for a while, but not too many more, as after 14 of them, the novelty of moves has worn a little thin ;)
