Hi. My name is Jenny, and I am a USC living in the UK with my UKC husband. We've been married since February 2009 and I have been here since March 2009.

It was quite an ordeal getting here, and our long term goal is to move to the US in four years. Why four years? Because my husband is a single parent with two children, and when looking at what would be easiest for them, me coming here, to their comfort zone, then moving the US down the line seemed to be best. They are 11 and 13 now. Plus, living here for a few years, we will (hopefully) be able to travel a bit to places that we won't be able to financialy travel to once we move to the States.

I have several questions already, but am still familiarizing myself with the board, and will see if the answers are already here before posting. I am a member of UK-Yankee, and that has been an incredible help with getting this far, so I am excited to have found a board for help getting back.

WELCOME TO VJ, JENNY!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
