Miguel is a citizen
Well he's official! We received an appt letter and went yesterday. They made us write his name and put a seal on it and off we were. A bit anticlimatic I must say, but I'm not complaining, I'm so glad this is done.

The officer at the place was so nice and told us to get our camera from the car (we were not allowed to bring them in) and we took a couple of pictures in front of the flags and seal.

So here's a few pictures.

Thank you everyone! It is such a relief to have this done!!

Lynn, if dh says Sooner in the same sentence and Miguel he will never let me go to Alabama again LOL Dh is as OSU cowboy as they come. Funny thing is his dad is a Sooner!! But then again dh's dad is a Yankee fan and dh is a Red Sox fan so I think we have a theme here
