She Did It!

Today was a very special day for my family. My mother went through the Naturalization Oath Ceremony and became a U.S. Citizen. We were all so proud of her accomplishment. The ceremony took place in Dallas and she was one of approximately 125 going through the process. It was a neat experience to listen to the oath that these people made and pledge allegiance to this great country of ours. I was so happy that my kids were there to witness their grandmother become a citizen.
After the two hour ceremony (despite what you've heard, the Immigration and Naturalization Service is not the most efficient of government entities) we had a late lunch at my Mom's favorite restaurant. It was a fine way to end such a wonderful afternoon.

What a neat picture of your mom and dad. And what a neat experience for your whole family! Congratulations! When the teacher asks "What did you do this summer?" Nick will have all kinds of things to share!
