We've been here a month, and we feel the same way.

I'm happy you're feeling the same as we are. It's great the kids are doing well and you both got employed. That just makes it soooooo much easier, huh?

My take on it is very, VERY simple:

Life is WAY too short to live anywhere but where you're happy.

Good for you.

Well, good for you.

If we meet you on the 10th, please don't rub it in

On the otherhand, maybe it would be good to rub it in...?

Hdzup3!
You know how happy I am for you! You are one of the most determined people that I have met that wanted to move here, and worked very hard to do it. Many people have sacraficed to make the move, including selling thier house, up-rooting the kids, and making other personal sacrafices in order to achieve your dream! We've had lots of discussions over the years about the struggle and commitment you had to come here and build a great life for your family.

I am proud of all you have done! And, it has been a lot!
I really look forward to meeting you and your husband at the meet-up!

Forget about what I said about buying someone else the first drink! I'm buying you the first drink, and making a toast in your honor!

Now, I bow deeply and rise to applaud your strength of character!
