Below is what I sent yo...Thanks for the blog help. Below is what I sent you that is now in cyberspace somewhere...It's a long reply to your questions-sorry. I could talk for days about life here.<BR/><BR/>Hi Carol, <BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog. How are you liking life in the UK? I've loved our time here and learned so much about myself. There are hard things for sure but mostly it's been a wonderful experience. It did take that first year for it to feel like home but it definitely feels like home to all of us now. I'm actually feeling very mixed about going back to the states but we feel like the timing is right. I went to a seminar last May regarding repatriation and the speakers all said to view a move back to your home country just as you viewed your move to a foreign country because in many ways home will feel a bit foreign at first. I've been here almost 6 years and my girls spent their teenage years here so it will always be a special place for us. <BR/> <BR/>We moved to the UK from Annapolis Maryland where we lived very happily for 9 years. We've moved alot in our married life though and I'm originally from NJ and my husband is from Tennessee. We will almost for sure be going back to NJ when we leave here. I grew up outside of Philadelphia but we did live in North Jersey for almost 5 years when my daughters were toddlers-my youngest was born there. My husband's office is in Franklin Lakes so we'll most likely be headed to a town in North Jersey. My mother is in Cherry Hill still and I have a brother in Collingswood and a sister in Philadelphia so they are really happy to think we'll finally be geographically close again. (I'm mentioning the towns as I think I saw on your blog that you'd lived in NJ at one time). My girls are both in uni in South Carolina and I have another sister who lives close to their university so that's been a real blessing. <BR/> <BR/>If I can help you with any info about life here please feel free to ask. How are your kids managing? Looks like you've had some nice outings and trips. The travel opportunities have been one of my favorite things about the experience. <BR/> <BR/>Take care, JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417467318641675968.post-47779448169855114462009-02-05T14:54:00.000-05:002009-02-05T14:54:00.000-05:00i LOVE their called wellies!!!! i'll have to teac...i LOVE their called wellies!!!! i'll have to teach my southern US kiddos that term! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417467318641675968.post-57636919496703393812009-02-05T13:12:00.000-05:002009-02-05T13:12:00.000-05:00Hello Carol--I commented yesterday and told you I ...Hello Carol--I commented yesterday and told you I went to school with Shawn. Remember me? Well to answer your questions--yes I am a friend of Pam and Tara (steffenboysmom). I just started a blog last week. It is nearly as cool as yours-but it has been fun!! I love the picture too and I did notice the one who didn't tuck his pants into his boots. Don't you just love kids!!

I am mostly English and would love to visit there some day. Not so sure about all that mud though...hmm. <BR/><BR/>I see you like Watermark...love them.

Even when it's not raining here the ground seems to always be wet. When we first arrived here my teenage daughters were just too cool for wellies. They converted though and even took theirs back to college with them. <BR/><BR/>On a completely different note-I'm new to blogging and am also technically impaired : ) I hit reply to the comment you left me yesterday and am wondering if it ever reached you? It went to a funny address and perhaps I should have just posted it as a reply to one of your posts. As you can see, I'm hopeless. If you didn't get it I'll resend as a comment. <BR/><BR/>This is when I miss having teenagers in the house...they were my IT support!<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417467318641675968.post-48586567962245545352009-02-05T10:47:00.000-05:002009-02-05T10:47:00.000-05:00Those are such great pictures and what fun.
