Citizens

[McGintyoz]

Well we have our Citizenship Ceremony tonight . We have come a long way in just over 4 years starting out with a temporary visa then to a permanent visa and now becoming citizens, so would just like to say to those just starting out don't give up hope stay positive and hopefully it will all work out for you too.

Congrats McGinty! Enjoy your night and best wishes for you future lives as Ausies!

Conratulations! Enjoy the ceremony (but please, please, do what I did at my husband's and flatly refuse to join in if they ask you to chant "Ozzie ozzie ozzie oy oy oy" at the end!!!)

Maybe (hopefully) it was a test.....anyone who actually joined in was taken out the back door and escorted onto the next plane home!

We have our citizenship photo (with the mayor!) on our fridge, we felt proud to become Aussies, I even had a tear in my eye when the choir was singing.
