At about 1:30pm today, my application for naturalization in this country was APPROVED. I'm going to become a citizen! I also took the liberty of finally changing my last name - to my husband's. He's been really good about not giving me grief in the almost six years we've been married. Now that I'm going to be a citizen, it's a good time to change my name.
So... once we have kids, will they be straight up "American" or "Mexican-American/Nigerian-American"? Hmmm...
I have bought way too much fabric in the last couple of weeks, and my credit card bill definitely shows it. Erm... have to sew. It's time to get back to pattern-tracing - especially since I added to my pattern stash this week. Hello, I'm SewShy, and I'm a PROUD stasher. Okay, off to start something (hopefully).
Congratulations! I remember vividly attending my mother's naturalization ceremony.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news and congratulations to you! We're happy to have you as "one of us"!
ReplyDeleteHey, congrats! I remember that process like it was yesterday. I'm 30-sum & still don't know what I classify as! LOL! So, I'm just me. Don't worry, your kids will define their own identities as long as you expose them to all that they are.

That's so cool! Congratulations. Does that mean you'll get to vote in the upcoming election?
ReplyDeleteSherril, yes, that does mean I get to vote - for the first time in my life!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDelete"Mexican-Nigerian-American" children -- fascinating combination! They will be beautiful!
Congratulations! You will let us know when the process is completed, right?!
