On December 16 and January 19, we became American Citizens!
Due to some delays in our paperwork, we were not offered the opportunity
to be sworn in together as a family,
however,
it all official and all 4 of us are now citizens of this country.
Surrounded by 3,000 + of our closest friends,
we were welcomed in by a very compassionate judge.
She told us that the USA was proud to have us as fellow citizens,
but urged us not to forget where we came from, our roots, our culture, our customs
and our language.
She shared that somewhere in not so distant past, all of our families
were all immigrants from another country.
We were touched by the warm welcome, and felt very moved by all of the
pomp and circumstance.
And we are proud to be able to sing both national anthems at the hockey games!
