This forum is really great! Thanks so much for your replies. Truthfully it hasn't been all worries for me, so I am thankful for that. I absolutely love it here and though I get the occasional guilt trip from people stateside, saying I am so far away, I really don't miss 'home'--home is with my finace, that's my totally un-feminist view of it! (my fellow alums from the women's college would skewer me if they knew I chucked it all to come to England for a boy!
)
We're getting married in Yorkshire, as I don't really want a big do, and all of his friends are here, so we're making my contingent come here and enjoy the Dales in May (2003) I truthfully cannot wait.
If I can I will pop in tonight for the live chat!
