Hehe, Chris is the american in the relationship... but... hes only ever worked retail and its taken two years of me trying to convince him that he IS qualified for a "real" job (which is clearly the case as he only applied for one job, and was hired on the spot at the interview). Phew... finally we'll be able to afford to live properly!

Congratulations, Chris. Now you and Andrea can start buying furniture for that lovely home you just purchased.
WTG!
