I just wanted a better life. My family was very poverty stricken and there was a lot of crime where I lived. I always wanted a family but I didn't want my children growing up the way I did. 2 of my sisters moved with me and eventually we moved my parents over here. It can be a very beautiful place.

My dh is from Thailand.  Do you miss living in Thailand?  What do you miss the most?  We live in a large city and can get all kinds of imported food products so we are lucky in that department but I imagine if you live in a smaller town some food items might be hard to come by. Funny whenever he goes back for a visit how much he complains about the heat and traffic, I don't think he could ever live there again.

Well it's great you were able to make a better life for everyone here! My husband and half of his family immigrated from Costa Rica, he's been here for about 11 years.

I don't miss it much. We live in an area that has a few stores with international food. I miss some of the simplicity.
