I live here, and I work for a magazine - New York 24-7.

You can probably tell from my accent that I'm not actually from New York.

I met Rob in London when I was visiting the UK on a work trip.

He was writing for the London edition of 24-7.

So why am I in New York? Because of Jenny of course.

When they gave me the opportunity to work here for a month, I took it immediately.

When they offered me a permanent job, I couldn't believe it.

A lot of my friends and family are there, so of course I still miss it.

I've got a great job, and Jenny's here too.

Things are changing pretty fast in the office.

And things are changing in my personal life too.

I'm taking Rob to meet my parents for the very first time.
