Done!...........

..........Well almost. I went to Boston yesterday for my citizenship. I got it. But it not official until I take the oath. The oath ceremony will be on July 10th on Boston.

The process yesterday was quick and easy. I got there and waited about 10 minutes. I was call for the test part of the interview. I was asked 5 questions, had to read 1 sentence in English and write 1. All of this took 5 minutes. After that I had to go to a different waiting room to wait for the interview. We waited 2 hours. But I finally got called, when in and the interview last less than 5 minutes. I was told at that point that I was approved and given the info for the oath ceremony.

The painful part came after. Getting out of Boston was a challenge. Yesterday was the victory parade for the Celtics. So when we came out of the building we were surrounded by drunk and very loud fans. Thank goodness more trains going out of the city were added. So we only had to wait about 30 minutes to get on a train.

I think my MIL had the longest day. She watched the boys while Jeff and I were in Boston. Well let's just say that Samuel was "being Samuel" ;-)

So on July 10th we will all go to the ceremony (Jeff, the kids and me). We also asked my MIL to come with us. We will go out to eat and make a special day out of it.

A lot of people have asked me if I feel different now. No I don't. I think it's because I made the commitment a long time ago to make my home here. It's just nice to have it recognized.

Oh and 1 more thing. Jeff oldest niece, Jessica (& her husband), are expecting their 1st baby. So I will be a great-aunt again!!!!
