I Did It

I’d been having a rough morning. The twins were in angry moods and there is much work to be done.

Then the postman came – he brought our stamped Swedish divorce decrees, which we found out last week that we needed in order to get married (we had decrees, they simply didn’t have the official stamp on them).

And he brought our new TomTom, as the old one has died.

And he brought this:

I GOT IT!

Hi.

My name is Shannon.

I am now a dual citizen.

It’s nice to meet you :)

    Congrats! I lived just north of London for 5 years and have such fond memories of the UK. (Ok, not enough to want to become a citizen but enough that I’m still slightly envious of you for doing it.)

    It was an awesome mail day for you, for sure!!!
