Us_and_south_african_flagAnd the marriage of two countries is complete.  My wife, as of Monday afternoon about 4:30pm is an American citizen…as well as a South African citizen.  We’re still trying to figure out the benefits of actually becoming an American citizen.  I think it all boils down to what box you’re able to check on some of those financial institution forms.  Well, along with not having to file for a travel visa when you want to visit another country from the US besides heading back to SA.  That make sense?   I think that’s about it.  However, she can sing a smokin’ Star Spangled Banner, complete with "Play Ball!".  The day was made up of about 3 hours of waiting, 10 minutes of an interview and another hour or so listening to a freakin’ tortuous ceremony.  It was painful, believe me. 

I’m so proud of my woman though, she really has toughed this thing out over the years.  I mean, she never even was planning to stay in the US until we got engaged.  Now how wrong is that?  We’d been dating for about a year and she was still planning on heading back to SA, without me if it came to it.  How’s that for stringing a brutha along?!  Well it didn’t work out that way, and I’d like to say we’re both glad.

So it’s behind us and I thought I’d update all of the 4 people who are reading my blog.  If I didn’t tell you over the phone…now you know!! 

Hey, all those with blogs…how ’bout some link love?  Begging
