It's a long story so I won't bore you, but basically, my reason was the same as yours (except he's now my husband of 47 years).

I moved to the West Coast - SF area, Oregon & near Canadian border in Washington, and finally, ended up in Whitefish, Montana - quite near Glacier National Park.

I still feel very Swedish and miss a lot of things I grew up with, but I love the US so I'm not homesick.
