Best of luck hellsbells! You'll be fine!! :D

txgrneyes....... I only got one right :(((( but what happened to ansers 31, 32, and 33.....I am sure I got 31 correct.....bugger. Gosh I have much to learn!!

Thankyou Aqua, with Horseman by my side, and my spunk, they better watch out. I am feeling more positive as the days go by.

Congrats on your move over to the states. You will love Atlanta. It is a city with lots to do. Have a safe flight. I am excited for you.
-s

Thankyou Summer, Atlanta is where I fly to though, not where we will be living, horseman lives just over 2 hours from there, but I'm sure I will love it.
Gosh, another day down, only two more to go. Weeeeeeeeeeeee

> 31) Green
> 32) Another trick animal husbandry question. Mules are generally sterile.
> 33) Tobacco

Hehe, thanks txgrneyes, still only one right, jeez, I couldn't have even made an educated ( or uneducated ) guess.

I still enjoyed doing it though, thanks hun.

Hellsbells I know that you and horseman will hit it off fine. Remember phone cards are your friend. You have enough friends from Pixies to get you speaking our English very fast. And we are all hoping and sending good thoughts that all goes well between the two of you. Have a safe trip and we'll wait to hear from the both of you.

Buy now you are counting hours and not days. And sooner than you can think of it, you will be in the states with horseman. You only have to take the lady he fell in love with and only look for the man you fell in love with. Everything else will take care of itself from there.

The only slang you want to be careful of is “I love you. You’re perfect. Now change.”


Good luck, safe trip, and we’ll be looking to hear from you on this side of the pond.:)

Dude, not all men are you! :)

Keep us posted, hells and horseman! I'm nervous for you guys but it's going to be awesome!

kleclere, thankyou for your good thoughts, I am so happy to have so many friends here, and the feedback and support from everyone means a great deal to both of us.

Panti, thankyou my friend,and yes, I am now counting the hours, the butterflies are frantic now. I understand what you say, and I guess to some extent we are all a little guilty of that.

Steph, you and I have talked many times, horseman and I will post here to let all our friends know of our progress, but hopefully you and I can have a good old girlie chat sometime :)).

Wow!!! Best of luck to you two!! And I know you will love the states, you won't have any problem fitting right in!

(just remember to drive on the right side of the road!!!) :D

Thanks darogle, with horseman by my side, how can I fail NOT to love the States.
hehe, not sure if I can be trusted to drive though, I think sitting by his side and observing might be the best way forward, anyway, we will have to see how courageous I feel, maybe try some back roads first.
