It's Official!





Yesterday was my official swear-in ceremony, and I am now a Canadian citizen. There were 58 people getting sworn-in and they were from 26 different countries! Spectators were allowed, so my girlfriend from work came to watch and snap a couple photos. We then went out for cake and tea! The judge officiating the ceremony was a big jolly guy who gave a very impressive sales pitch for why Canada is the best country in the world- "This is like receiving the gold medal of citizenship". He also slagged the US a few times... but it was a good experience :)

Congrats Leah! Soon you will have 3 countries you can call home! I love your hair like that by the way.

Hey girl, you've just become a Canadian citizen and you are moving to Norway? Where are you from?

I'm originally from the States - Idaho. The Canadian citizenship is a back up plan... if we ever want to return to North America again, I won't have to live in the states and re-apply for Canadian residency.
