Buy a good pair of slippers & a good robe for cold winter mornings & evenings... also an electric blanket for your side of the bed(this will help you adjust. Your first winter will feel very cold to you, but you WILL adjust).

Be prepared to absolutely LOVE the summer. God's most perfect summers in the USA are in Wisconsin. GORGEOUS lakes with water that is good to swin in, so bring a bathing suit!

Cheese is wonderful, so are the bratwurst. Also plenty of great micro-breweries. CUt your own Christmas trees at Christmas! Starry nights, crisp & cold well water...
