An official hello - from NY to Hampshire
« on: February 28, 2015, 02:44:12 AM »
Greetings, I have been on this forum for a while now but never officially introduced myself - long overdue....

I'm Jennifer (USC) originally from an hour outside Philadelphia, currently living in the suburbs of New York City for the last 10 years.  Met my husband (UKC & USC) at work about 13 years ago (whoa just realized how fast time goes by) in the UK - I had just finished my masters and was offered a work visa. 

Anyway, we (plus 2 DD) are officially back in the UK after all this time in 3 weeks!  We'll be in small village in Hampshire between Winchester and Basingstoke. 

I'm asked several times daily by folks at work if I'm excited - and although I am excited for making new memories and spending time with friends and his family, I am really getting nervous now.   I haven't lived there in many years and I remember it taking a bit to feel like it was home back then.  And with kids I have to be strong for them from day one.  Anyway, like many others, I will miss my mother, sisters and their kids so much - I just have to remember to take it one day at a time and make the most of it!  Thank you to all on here who share their experiences so we all don't feel alone!
2001 - moved to the UK on a student visa
2002 - 2 year work visa (and met hubby later that year)
2004 - moved w UKC hubby to US
2012 - UKC hubby now a dual national (USC)
Apr 2015 - moved back to UK w DH and two DD
