It's been quite the journey since we landed on July 1st 2013. We found a country which opened its arms to us, where we brought our child into the world, where we found a home. The US is everything we hoped it would be…actually, it's more. We love so much about America; the culture, the people, the way of life. Thank you to NBC, @caa_sports and all those who believed in me. Thank you to all of you who send me messages every day on Instagram - I appreciate you all so much. And thank you to the wonderful American friends we have made along the way…we love you. We are truly honoured to now be American citizens. And an American family. Let the next chapter begin! 🇺🇸"".
