Was in Atlanta yesterday for the wife's Naturalization ceremony at the Atlanta USCIS. For all of our troubles here, I always find it amazing the varied folks who still wish to become U.S. citizens. The were 130+ at this ceremony, representing over 60 countries. We've had two other friends participate over the past couple of weeks, with the same kind of numbers. For us, it is a day to remember and celebrate. Bruce Freaking awesome 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was truly an awe-inspiring experience - all the countries represented and the families in attendance. I did the paperwork...intermittently. i would hit a roadblock (required paperwork - marriages, divorces, passports etc.) and put the papers away for a few months. then i would pull them out again and start with fresh eyes. it is a really long story. but we did it! and this is our citizen!! Another freaking awesome photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
