Actually, it never occured to me to cry when I became a citizen back in 2002. Well, it did when we were delayed almost an hour in a sweltering room because some would-be terrorist had tried to bring explosives into the lobby in his backpack and caused a massive shut-down of the Loop. Up on the 30-somthing'th floor we had no idea what was going on, so I hope you don't have any kind of idiot messing things up for you.<br />Have a great day.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-73587159015594513042010-08-26T12:43:17.196-05:002010-08-26T12:43:17.196-05:00Hang in there dear girl.

I remember feeling that way about having my first child when I found out I was pregnant. I totally meant to be pregnant, but when I held the test, there was all this emotion. I'll be thinking of you.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-29137707340888143962010-08-26T08:44:20.851-05:002010-08-26T08:44:20.851-05:00Ahh, Your post is very touching..it's normal t...Ahh, Your post is very touching..it's normal to go through this I think.<br /> I found your site through Turquoise Diaries and as I am an Anglophile I thought to stop by your super awesome blog.<br /><br />Have a good day!<br />BettyBetty Manousoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549686306725800208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-49618065656641946592010-08-26T08:11:56.710-05:002010-08-26T08:11:56.710-05:00It's a change.

I think you are having normal emotions, don't you? These ceremonies are there for important reasons -- to make sure the times of life's changes are marked with purpose. If that made sense. You are practical, though, and this is a very practical thing you are doing. Patriotic too, but also practical. You will be fine!

Of course, this is an emotional roller coaster for you! You will always be a Brit to the core. But in my opinion, in our society today, becoming an American citizen will in many ways simplify your life (ok, paperwork)while you are living and working in the USA. <br /><br />Congratulations! I am so proud of you for going through the long process and accomplishing the requirements that have brought you to this point in your life. <br />Hugs from KYLinda Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077587697557992493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-65763084301684090662010-08-25T12:15:52.990-05:002010-08-25T12:15:52.990-05:00Feel free to cry with joy and sadness.

Even though you're getting a dual citizenship, you are still giving your allegiance to another country as well. I can imagine your feeling torn even though you're happy for this journey to come to its conclusion. I'm sending you lots of aloha, hugs, felicitations and welcome. America is lucky to have a part of your heart. <br /><br />My neighbor in Illinois is from England. Richard married an American and he loves America, but we all know deep down he will always be so very British and we love him for it.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-41683146749539869442010-08-25T10:54:29.567-05:002010-08-25T10:54:29.567-05:00I have thought that what you are going through wou...I have thought that what you are going through would be very difficult emotionally for me to do something similar.
