Re: Today .....
Carl and I become Australian Citizens 
We are doing it because we love the country, it is our home, and we feel more settled and have more loyalty and respect for the place than we ever had in the UK for many years.
My sister is here for a visit, and so she will come, along with our best friends - a couple we met just over a year ago.
I'm very happy

August 13 2008. We may wait until January and do it when our friends in Adelaide are eligible too. They're coming over this way for summer holidays then so we could all do it together. I think it would be really nice to share something significant with people we care about.

Congratulations, you obviously feel exactly like we did. We became citizens on 26 January 2001 and I was pretty tearful.

It was great
In some ways having the ceremony on Australia Day would've been nice, but we had the next best thing..."sorry" day. The speeches by the Mayor and councillors/MP's present were pretty emotionally charged.
