On April 10th, I was granted my US citizenship! I had to drive an hour and a half from Rome to east of Atlanta to take my interview and history/US government test. The test questions were quite easy and the sentence I had to write in English was "They go to the grocery store"...a toughie for sure, but I managed to muddle through! LOL! Then the interviewer surprised me by saying "I've approved your application. Would you like to be in the 10:30am ceremony?" I was totally taken off guard because my dad had to go back for his swearing in ceremony at another time, but I accepted because I didn't want to miss any more work or have to drive all the way back out there again.

So I was kind of disappointed because Scott wasn't there celebrate with me or to take my photo when I got my certificate and they shook my hand. But when I arrived back at my office, my co-workers had decorated my office up like the 4th of July, and being scrapbookers too, they took some photos of me with my certificate, my American flags and USA cake!
