Default Happy Ameriversary to me!!

So 9 years ago today we landed in the US
Many things have changed for us both as a family(moved states, kids growing up etc.) and for the US as a whole (change of president, dive in the economy) but through it all we love it here ....what changes has anyone else seen....has it changed your view about being here (or wanting to come here??)

Hi,

I always wanted to come to the US, I am in UK.
My parents said that our family is going to US, in 3 years.
I will be 16 then, can't wait.

Happy Ameriversary to you and yours Lisa!! Long may you stay (happily)

As for changes in the US since I came here, (first time in 1993) I am going to have to think on this for a while and get back to you

Nice one on the anniversary!

Changes, well moved from Maine to Mass, had a baby, lost a job.

Found new appreciation for the NHS, daft things like playing footie in the park and then walking to the pubs afterwards, especially with work colleagues and not talk about work.

Not much has changed my mind about the US though...it's no better or worse a place to live in over all, same shit different bucket and a place I happen to be in. What's good here is good, what ain't ain't and not much has changed since I've been here but the same could be said about England.
