I am moving to the USA!!!
 

I am in shock right now! After years and years of wanting to live in the US, my husband has been offered a job and we are off in the next few months. We have a lawyer that is handling it all for us from the US (linked to the company) and it is apparantly going to go smoothly. I hope so! :eek:

I just want to thank everyone for the advice I have had here. I don't post often but I do read lots which has been so helpful. We were planning on going to Canada (as it is easier to go there) but now this has come through, we are completely stoked.

We are going to be so busy these next few months but I don't care about that! LOL

Anyway! I just wanted to share my good news. :thumbsup:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

if you're in shock now, wait until you get here :lol:

btw good luck!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

LOL I love it there!! I have spent long periods there but have always wanted it to be permanent. It has been my dream but I really had given it up recently as I thought it was not going to happen. We had even applied for Canada and were waiting on that. This came out of the blue.

Thanks TrueBrit :)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Congratulations...where in the US are you hoping to move to?

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

i'd spent long periods here before moving however it's definately not the same as visiting, nowhere is.

what part of the usa are you locating to?

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Thanks! We are going to Colorado. There is where we always wanted to go and so this really is a dream for us.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Colorado. We have friends there too which makes it easier.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

well that sounds perfick!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Anabella lives out there. I'm sure having friends here will help you settle in easier.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Thanks!! I can't stop smiling! :D

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

I reckon so too. We speak with our friends daily so we are very close to them. Thank you :)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Hello, and congratulations! Colorado is very beautiful...


So what month do you think you'll be moving to Colorado? Maybe sometime this winter?:)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Thank you! Yes, it should be sometime in the winter. I am not sure at this point when we will find out for sure.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

At least she'll get a good hair cut :) Welcome Newbie.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

She's not a newbie...she's been a member longer than you or I. ;)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Congrats!! You'll love it here. a great climate and sunny days are awaiting you!
Ski season is just around the corner - a couple of the slopes are jumping the gun and plan to start their snow-guns this week end so they may be opening mid to late Oct!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Oh well I did not see that :o but she's new to me :)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

It reminds me how US TV stations try to sell you repeat programs...If you've not seen it before...it's new to you. :lol:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

nope coz even the avatar is the same as i remember.

maybe as the OP has been around a long time on the forum i've just seen it about..:blink:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

If you look back through her posts you'll see she's posted mainly in the Canadian forums and the Locker room in the past couple of months...apart from an odd one in the Lounge/Siesta. Has only made one post between then and 2005...only a handful in 2005 then we go back to 2004.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

lol probably... must get some glasses.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

:rofl: No, that was not me. I have been in England the whole time. Not for much longer though :thumbsup:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Thanks so much. Wow! You are there now.. lol I cannot wait to be there. All that sunshine and skiing too!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

you can have my green card anyday :sneaky:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Oh dear! You don't sound very happy. Can you move? I have never been to Texas before.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

oh i'm fine, no worries:)

i like texas and the usa, infact i love skiing in beaver creek, we've had some great hols there but that doesn't mean i want to live in any of those places, holidays are one thing and living another.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

No you ain't. ;)

Houston is not the best place to live.... Boulder would be better, but if someone's heart is "back home" then that is the place for them.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

I am glad you are fine. Where would you like to live most?

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

home is england for me with lots of holidays to all the fine places. i've travelled the world and appreciate what the uk has to offer overall.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

today is a better day :o

plus i'm going home soon for a month and then again for xmas :)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Oh I see!! I just read what SnowBunny said also. You really do have to follow your heart. England has not been home to me for a long time. Going to CO and being with our friends is like going home to us. Can you not leave and come back to England?

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

for sure, it's all in the plans ;)

have you ever lived away from the uk?

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

Good for you!

Yes, I have lived in Italy for a while. The US , I have lived there 6months at a time ( a few times)

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

that's good, it won't be such an upheaval for you.

i love italy and the lakes and the amalphi coast, not to live but to vacation there is so nice...i miss not being close to europe, everything is so far away here, at least it's not dingo land... now that is defo too far away from civilization :eek:

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

I feel like it wont be too much of an upheaval. I think because not only have we done it to a smaller extent before but having friends there will help heaps. I can't imagine doing that alone!

Italy is nice although like you, would not want to live there. I wont miss Europe to be honest but the UK will always be special to me.

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

yeah its a tough life but someone has to live it; its a hard thing to wake up one winter's morning and contemplate which resort to go skiing for the day... decisions, decisions, decisions!

Re: I am moving to the USA!!!
 

LOL I bet!! When I was in CO, I would be happy all the time. It didn't matter how cold it was, the sun was out and the sky was blue. AND those rockies!!!
