I am married to a U.S. Citizen...

Yep that's right - Aaron became a U.S. Citizen on

Wednesday May 27th, 2009!

He had the Oath Ceremony that morning at 9:00 and said it went really well. I am so proud of him and so grateful that everything went so smoothly. The application process has defiantly been a major work in progress but we worked our way through it and are so happy we are at this point now.

Aaron has had many questions as to weather or not he has gotten dual citizenship - he does not have dual citizenship. I looked a little into it and couldn't find too much on it, not sure if they are changing it or what but he was OK to just get U.S. Citizenship. When Aaron is asked this question he just says "Read the Oath of Allegiance and tell me what you think."

U.S. Oath of Allegiance:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.




That evening we went out to dinner to celebrate. We ate at Chili's and enjoyed our first dining experience as an 'All American' family :)

Rachael before and after I told her that her daddy was now a U.S. Citizen :)
