I pledged allegiance :)

Post by egerandi » Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:46 am

After a very long and sometimes painful but mostly fun journey, I became a US citizen on Wednesday :) It was very emotional, and it hasn't completely hit me, but I did have a lovely day just for myself.
I also changed my name, so another journey starts through the bureaucracy maze, wooo, hehehe.

To tie it in, I wore the following (with a silk black shirtdress):
eyes: Heat all over lid, with a bit of Social in the inner third, highlighted with Juiced.
cheeks: Amuse topped with Ginger
lips: Combustion topped with Hot Flush.

:)

Congrats, that's awesome. I hear that the US is one of the all time toughest nations to become a citizen of but it reminds me of a quote from a film that said "American citizenship is tough and you've got to want it bad because it puts up a fight, that with tremendous freedoms come tremendous responsibilities..." It's the land where anything is possible, so yeah, you go girl (hehe favourite Americanism!) and live life to the max! They're a lucky country to have you.

Congratulations!!!! DH has been through half of the process, and it really was brutal to get that far. Way to go!!!

Now you can register to vote too- it's a beautiful thing. You can have representation to go along with the taxation :)
And way to do it in style!!!

Voting was actually the main reason I jumped in after being a legal resident for so long. Can't wait!
