New here - from Chicago area
« on: April 21, 2010, 03:13:52 PM »
Hi Everyone!

New to the UK Yankee forum, but not new to the UK. I have been living here since 2008 and am looking to connect with other Yanks!  Living in the Cheltenham area, so please feel free to shoot me a message.

Welcome!

I'm from central Wisconsin, but I find it just saves a lot of time if I tell people I'm from 'north of Chicago.' :)

Welcome! I was originally from Chicago area but moved south. Most of my family is still up there though.
Even when life seems at it's most dark and despairing.. there is within the power to make change.

I am in Wisconsin, but am looking to move to England. What can you tell me about the area you are living in right now? What was involved in your move? How have you been adjusting?
