U.S. Citizenship!

Today's the day!
We head down to SF shortly for our oath taking and swearing in ceremony to become US Citizens. A couple of friends will be there to cheer us on too! I hope they have stamina as it can take quite a while with up to 1400 people pledging.

It's been lovely to hear people's reactions - and quite surprising too!

Then one of our friends suggested we go for hot dogs afterwards....Hmmm... Do we have to be THAT American????

So think of us at 1.45pm!

US Citizenship Update!

Just got my letter inviting me to the Naturalization Oath Ceremony - which means I'm through and accepted to be a US citizen!!!!

Couple of small down sides however: - the date for the swearing in ceremony is when we are away in England - January 7th!! So I'll have to postpone....hopefully only until February.... . The other downside - but I'm sure it is temporary - is that John didn't get his letter today! Only me!! (Hee, hee :0 ) I'm sure his will come tomorrow..... But as it is through him that we got our green cards in the first place, I can't gloat too much!

US Citizenship

Off down to SF today for our US Citizenship interview and test! Keep your fingers crossed we've learned all the answers to those questions on US history and politics!
