Greetings from Staffs
« on: January 08, 2004, 10:52:39 AM »
Greetings!

This site was reccomended to me by missy_jx2 but I also know marlespro from another forum.

My name is Sarah and Im a USC orginally from San Diego CA although many of my few years have been spent in Buffalo NY. About 6 years ago I met a guy online and we chatted for a very long time before we actually met. Our relationship was going very well so I flew to England on his birthday to stay for a month in March 2001. It was decided that seperation would be unbareable and thus it couldnt be for too long. So in July of 2001 I packed up a big bag and moved myself to England. A few months later I flew back to the US and got myself a loverly little fiancee visa in LA and flew back to get hitched! In Jan 2002 Martin and I were married.

In April 2003 (me and my dates, eh?) Martin made a trip with me to the states to meet my parents for the first time. He and my mom got on like a house on fire, much to my surprise. Upon returning to England the house didnt feel like home anymore. England didnt feel right no matter how much I loved it, and always will. We decided it was time to move to the US and here we are today - hopefully a few months away from packing up and shipping out to Houston Texas.

Im currently helping build our web hosting business while attempting to persue some sort of career as a freelance photographer. Hopefully I'll go to school for it after we move.

Martin is in IT with hopes of getting out of the rat rance and into the air as a commercial pilot.

We dont have any children yet but we hope to in a few years. In stead we have 2 resuce cats from the RSPCA that enrich our lives every day. They are Tibby, a 7 year old tortoise shell short hair female, and Mirriam, a 3 year old black long hair female. They bicker like a married couple and its only in quiet stolen moments that they regard eachother fondly with a silent sniff of an ass. Oh the simple life of cats! If only Martin's immigration to the US was as easy as theirs.

Hope to post lots and help as many people as I can get through their immigration and move back to the US as smoothly as possible.

Best wishes to all,
Sarah

Just adding my welcome to others.  I can't thank you enough for coming here to join us and help us out with the repatriation information as many people do eventually return to the USA.
