Today was the day I...


became an American citizen! It took 5 long years and a lot of paperwork but my journey ended today! Whoohoo! It was a lot of fun studying for the naturalization test and learning about the history of this country. I am praising the Lord for His faithfulness! I am also very thankful for my wonderful husband and his support! It sure wasn't cheap to merry me! haha! And so thankful for my supporters - Eli and Sofia who patiently waited 6 long hours in a car today and let dad sleep while I was having an interview. You guys rock!!! Thank you for your smiles and support at the ceremony today! I am ready to live my American dream now!!!......I will start with registration to vote and maybe a peanut butter jelly sandwich later...I love to be an American!

You walk a dog every day. Twice a day. Three times a day. And you cannot wait to do it again the next day. Because you are THREE and you LOVE dogs.  And you hold your grandparents hand and it feels so much better than looking at them through cold computer screen.   And you are 12 and you get to ride a go cart out in the field. And give your little sister a ride, too. Because you are "da man" when daddy is not around.  And you are 9 and get to ride a four wheeler all by yourself and pass everyone on the track, older cousin included!  Because you are totally fearless and
