I-600A filed!

Hey Sis!

I know I already talked with you on the phone today but just for journal keeping sake I will record that today we filed our I-600A form. Yea!!! The immigration office is up in Salt Lake. I feel bad going on a good car drive up to Salt Lake without taking Brig so Grandma Argie came along and waited in the car with the children so I wouldn't have to bring them in with me.
The immigration office was a bit intimidating. There were guards at the door that sent me first through a metal detector. They had me wait in this waiting room until they called my name. I don't know why but being there made me sort of feel like I was guilty of something. I felt the same way when I had to go to the Police Dept. for background check letters. The waiting room had asians and latins who I am sure were in their process of getting their citizenship so they could live the "American Dream". So many of us take our citizenship for granted. The man who eventually helped me was really nice. I felt much lighter as I left. It feels like the ball is rolling now for our government. Hopefully Ghana will get the ball rolling on their side.
