Thought I'd share with you abit more about myself. I am a married woman in my late 40's with a son and daughter and a grandson. I've now been living in New Zealand over half my life but still have very strong feelings for the US. Seems no matter how long I'm here I will never get used to having Christmas in the summer. I don't get homesick as often as I used to but I still find holidays difficult. I think each country has their own ways of celebrating things and the way we spent our childhood is what stays with us. New Zealand is a pretty good place to live and I'm pretty lucky to be near a mountain and the ocean, two of my favorite places but being so far from home I did miss out on some pretty important things and for that I'm kinda sad. But as they say you can't change the past and my path in life took me to New Zealand so this is where I stay.
