I've assimilated...
...Well not quite, but I finally became a US citizen yesterday 
766 other people joined me from 99 countries. It was surprisingly quite an emotional ride

Congratulations! I didn't find it emotional for myself, but it was indeed an eye opener as to just what it meant to so many of the people who were naturalizing, who came from situations that we as Brits just can't begin to imagine.

Congratulations Bob!
It's so nice to go through a POE and not have to have a photo and fingerprints taken at passport control!
Did you have to sing a patriotic song at your ceremony (as I had to)?!
