Is that the country-style one, freshly picked from our own fields as the sun rises, and covered in lashings of creamy butter churned by our from our own busty milkmaid?

Of course now it's been decided I'm crapping myself! I mean what if I'm wrong again and we just bounce back and forth across the Atlantic every few years!!

As for the OP question about why Omaha, it's a nice place! I ended up there because that's where hubs is from (technically, he's an air force brat and decided to return to Omaha) and I like it! Cheap cost of living, bucketloads of jobs, friendly people, slow pace of life, his parents live there blah blah blah.

yeah and add to that loads of cheddar cheese then down the hatch
