Yesterday was a very proud day for my family. Yesterday is the day my husband finally became a US Citizen. The ceremony was held at Shelburne Museum in vermont. The ceremony was held on the ship ticonderoga. A federal judge presided over the ceremony and Vermont's Governor Jim Douglas was the Special Guest. the ceremony took about an hour. My son and my husband had their photo taken with the governor after the ceremony.

After the ceremony and pictures, all the new citizens were registered to vote. Michael was interviewed by the history channel. They are doing a special on citizenship day. we will know soon if they are using his interview. our family was filmed walking off the boat. our local NBC news did a spot and it was on at 11pm last night and there is an internet clip.

Here is the link to the news segment.

Lovely pictures. I know that you all are just as happy as can be...and glad it's overwith, so that you can get on with your lives.
I'll keep my eyes open on the History channel. We get that in our cable package over here.
Congrats to all of you.
