True, North, Strong and Free
True to my word and in accordance with my 2008 goals, this eve of Canada day I completed my application for my American Citizenship. It is done. The hardest part of the application was documenting all of the dates I have left the country in the past five years. Thanks to brilliant journaling and keeping all of my yearly planners, I did it. In the past five years I have taken 10 trips out of the country totalling 148 days (one trip included an entire summer). I'm sure you can guess where I went for these travels, as I don't have a single stamp in my passport! For those of you who have known me since I first entered this country, you know what a big step this is for me (KAI!), but I have also come to love this country and its rich history and the people within it. However, we will still be celebrating Canada day in our home tomorrow!

I just love your blog, even when you are venting. Waiting for DOctors can be extremly frustrating! I can completely relate to your feelings of anxiety and frustration.
Congrats on filling out your papers for Becoming an American citizen. I still remember making you write a list about, was it ten or five things you liked about America? SO funny!
