Citizen Litster

Topic: Uncategorized| No Comments »

I am officially a US citizen. Yesterday I had my allegiance ceremony in SLC at the DHS building. David, Jonnie, the Hemmerts, and aunt Jaynie came to support me. In total, individuals from 22 countries were naturalized with me. I received a certificate of citizenship and a letter from Obama.
Today I applied for a US passport.
I feel so honored.

We spent an extended weekend in Las Vegas visiting David’s family. I love mini breaks. I love getting out of town and just playing. We went to the National Atomic Testing Museum. Amazing–it really blew our mind. I put together a big family dinner. David scanned piles of family pics.
I spent a lot of my time by the pool tanning and relaxing. Unfortunately the pool is shaded so it was not suitable for extended swimming. I would just jump in and out. The Blueberry’s amniotic fluid must have frozen along with her (think ice-age mammoth) when I got in because she would stop moving and then 5 minutes after I would get out she would defrost and start kicking wildly. It was great fun.

I got a lovely rug for the nursery and today I sewed a double-sided receiving blanket. Very excited.

School started yesterday. Evening classes are going to kick my trash.

Love,

Sandy
