Proud to be an American
I've done it y'all I had my ceremony yesterday so it's official I'm an American citizen! 
the kids were bored the actually ceremony took less than a few minutes and there was over 2,300 of us from 124 different countries, you could see that for many it had been quite a journey....124 countries that's quite impressive...they didn't give Wales a mention though "sniff"

How dare they not mention Wales!
So yours wasn't the ceremony graced by the presence of GWB then?
Are you really proud though?
