Sea Legs VS Land Legs

Every year a bunch of guys from work do this deep sea fishing trip in NC... This year they asked if Whitney and I would join and WHY NOT???

It was something I had never done before and it wouldn't hurt to try it out...

I guess I am not made to be a pirate because my adventure at sea was not THAT great...

Everything was fine on the ride in and on the ride back, but the rocking while everyone but me was fishing was just something my stomach couldn't handle...

The guys and Whitney caught 21 tuna!!!

Regardless I had a great weekend and would even try it out again...

I am a Citizen

Here I was thinking becoming a Citizen of the United States takes forever... BOY was I wrong... Once I passed test and all I was offered to do a swear in at either noon or 3pm... Unfortunately I had to postpone the date, due to me flying to Germany THAT night...
There was no need to be worried that they may forget about me because while still in Germany I received my notification date...

Friday June 19th was my D-Day!!!

It was pretty cool, we were 53 people at the 11:00am ceremony...

53 people that had one thing in common... We all got a little Flag... j/k

They were from all over the place, all kinds of races, all kinds of languages were spoken in that room... And soon we were all going to be US Citizens...

It was very moving when all applicants did the oath, followed by the "Pledge of Allegiance"

I am glad that the picture on my Naturalization Certificate came out good ~ unlike my drivers license... LOL

Since becoming a Citizen I've registered to vote (here I come election 2012) and I still need to go the Social Security Office to update my status in the system... I hope it doesn't effect the voters registration?!?!? and I've already filled out my application for a passport... Just need to make the trip to the post office... Last but not least I survived my first 4th of July as a Citizen... :)

The appointment date

I have my interview date.... June 9th!!!!

Everything is going pretty fast, faster than I thought... Now it is time to study...

US Citizenship

I finally applied...

And things are going rather quickly currently... I fed ex it on the 3rd of February, received a notification that they received the application and the money (they were quick on cashing the check) and today I received my appointment for the fingerprints and pictures... Which is on the 26th of this month... I didn't think it was going to go this fast...

I guess the longest part will be waiting for the interview appointment and test... Wonder if it is going to be easy or not...
