America the Beautiful

It is official!!! Fabi and Joe are U.S. Citizens. After working and living in the United States for 10 years, Friday, it was official. I feel so blessed that I was able to attend the oath ceremony. I felt so proud to be an American and so blessed that I know these 2!!! There were 46 people from many different countries in attendance! During the ceremony the judge gave a great speech. He said that people who immigrate to the US are some of the bravest people he knows-such a profound statement. Can you imagine moving far from your family, not speaking the language or knowing the culture and trying to live life?. Fabi and Joe have embraced it all- showing that they are 2 of the bravest people I know!!!! We are so glad to have been a part of this great day!!!! Congratulations!!!

    what a wonderful friend you are. i, meaning we, are blessed because you guys are our friends and more than that, you are family to us. We are very honored to become Americans and this could not come in a better time. We feel now that we are ready for it. I had seen the blog before, and told my sister and brothers about it but now i feel like I am ready to coment. It was one of the happiest days of my life, and thanks for all the happy memories you give us. Thanks for opening your house for us,not only that night but since we first met you. We can't ask for better people to be around. Say thanks to Ben and Gabe because we are sure they are learning it the best way.
