No real advice but just had to say WELCOME!!  YEAH more people in the West! 

I know there are other women with kids in your daughters age group and I am sure they will offer some good tips. 

I hope to read more posts in the future and again welcome to UKY!

Hi and Welcome....Good Ole Peep was sure to let us know there was another mother of a teenager!! I have a 14 year old daughter and am heading over to Crewe, Cheshire England in August...I am excited and nervous also. When it comes to our kids we always are afraid we arent making the right choices. My daughter seems excited about the move...how does your teenager feel?? Feel free to ask any question..but since I am in the process myself not sure how much help i can be..but maybe we can muddle through it together!

I think it's a great opportunity for kids!
I really like Bristol. My stepson and his wife live right in the heart of it and we see them fairly regularly. (Oh to be young and have a small flat right in the middle of a city!) Whereabouts in Bristol will you be?

Welcome Nan, one thing for certain, you won't be the only Americans in Bristol.  You have come to the right place for support with any info or for support during the adjustment period. :)

Is the relocation for a certain time period, or indefinate?
