Heh, I'm pretty close to the Wisconsin border, too!
We live in the same city Sorta
EDIT: Oops! Forgot to say where my fam' was from! xD
My grandparents on my dad's side were from Lithuania, until they had to move because of a war. My great-grandparents on my mom's side are from Poland and Italy. I was born and raised in the US... Ugh! At least I wasn't born during Bush's terms.
And meddie65, do you mean Bosnia and Herzegovina? Either way that's awesome! xD
