On 2 September 2010, I married an American and am now living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am a Brisbane girl (Australia) and my family live on the Gold Coast. I have two brothers, two lovely sisters-in-law and six gorgeous nephews and nieces.
Welcome to my blog! The reason I decided to write a blog is that I lie in bed at night thinking of all these funny things I'd love to share about America and Americans and hope that some others (probably NOT Americans) out there will be able to relate. It also might give some insight as to what other Aussie girls can expect if they marry an American and move to the US.
Let me state at the outset:
- I will be using the English way of spelling - not the American, as I want to hold on to some things that I consider sacred, such as my accent;
- that this blog is not designed to criticise Americans or America. I think America is a wonderful country and the people are lovely and incredibly courteous and that we, as Australians, could probably learn something from their customer service; and
- not all Americans are what we see on TV. They say there are Californians and then there are Americans.
So, having said all that, I'm sure I will still be receiving comments that are not so complimentary, but please know, I am a peaceful person and am writing this blog with love.
