Now, here I sit amongst crates, barrels and tea chests while my international moving company guys pack up my house and load it all into an ocean-going container. I found them by Googling international moving company on the internet and then putting in my home country of England and my destination, US New York. They gave me online quotes and, after checking them out on the Better Business Bureau and Epinion, I chose the one that was best for me.

The international moving company agent was so helpful. I've never even been to another country so she helped me with everything from planning the move to letting me know what papers I needed to have with me to emigrate.

Jay has already bought a house and booked the church for our wedding. I'm so excited I can hardly sit still - I'm not sure how I'll sit in a plane for hours. I'm so excited to see the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Times Square and the Empire State Building. It was my international moving company agent that advised me of these tourist attractions.

I've been checking them out on the Internet but it's not the same as being there! Jay and I plan to just sight-see around New York for our honeymoon.

My international moving company agent and I have struck up a friendship. Her name is Pam and she's going to be in New York at the same time as we're getting married. So I invited her to the wedding. I can't wait for her to meet Jay. He's such a wonderful person and I keep pinching myself to prove it's not all just a dream. Four months ago I was lonely and depressed. Now, I feel like a totally different person - I have a purpose, a future and someone who wants to share it all with me.

I'm a writer, so I can work from anywhere a bonus when you're packing up your whole life and moving! Otherwise I'd have to get visas and then search for work in New York. The more I think about how easy it is to be making this move, the more I think that it was meant to be. I just had to go through twenty-nine years before it actually happened for me!
