The Irishman's Now Officially American


Because we were leaving for Huntington Beach the same day Trev was "Citizenized" we did not have a party for him at home. He worked late the night before so I brought a cake into his classroom.

Wednesday Morning, 7:45am. Trevor lined up with the rest of the "huddled masses" while Aidan and I went in to get a seat in the theater (and get warm).

This old theater is right downtown Sacramento, and the site of the ceremony. They even had popcorn available to the visitors.

Aidan (not feeling too hot) waits somewhat patiently for his Daddy to be an American like him!

The new American! After 5 years from his first citizenship paperwork being filed it is finally done. Trevor feels relieved that its all done, different that he is no longer recognized as Irish by the American Government, and glad that the hard work is complete. If you've ever had to deal with the INS you would know that it takes some major determination and you would be as proud as I am of my Hubby.
P.S. Don't worry all you Micks, Trevor still is able to keep dual citizenship. He will travel TO Ireland with the Irish passport, and come back to the US with his American passport.
