By this time on Saturday
I'll no longer be a resident of Ohio and will be a Cheesehead. This is the end of ten very long, very painful years.

I've rarely experienced the type of kindness I've found here. A co-worker whom I just met bought me towels to use because she knows how the towels at a Motel 6 can be. My boss has a credit card with frequent flyer miles for Midwest Express. When I told him I was driving back to Ohio tomorrow, he offered a plane ticket using those miles. Totally unsolicited. Totally unexpected.

I have no doubts that this is right. It doesn't take away the nervousness or the pressure to make it work, but... I can't wait to see what the future brings.

:hug:

2. You've been a cheesehead for a long time, you know.
Regardless of where you've lived. It's about what's inside. And you've got it, girl! :)

All my best.

5. My dear lizziegrace!
And it's high time you had some really excellent prospects!

I am so very happy for you, sweetie...

Even though all your good friends in Ohio will miss you...

You will always have the great memories of having lived there...

And now it's time to say "until we meet again" and make new memories in Wisconsin...

All the very best to you!

Do you get to be a Cheesehead just like that? I mean, don't you have to pass an exam or something? :shrug:

17. Nope.
No exam. You have to have excellent references and sponsors. You'd have no problem getting the title. (think train....)

Oh, yeah, I would
I think Brett Favre is vastly over-rated.



They wouldn't let me in the place.

19. Don't let the door hit you.. oh, wait, that's totally the wrong tone.
There's gonna be a lizziegrace-sized awesomeness deficit in Central OH, soon, eh? Best of luck! There's a ton of highly cool DUers in Wisconsin, say hi to 'em for me, would'ja?
