U.S. Citizenship

On Thursday, we took a trip to the U.S. Embassy in Frankfurt, Germany.  It took weeks to get all the documentation for Eli's passport and SS#.  They require everything but the kitchen sink.....which I guess is good.  Jon and I had to prove we were U.S. citizens by having W2's for 5 consecutive years, plus an original copy of our marriage license (who has the original...not us, only a copy).  The list goes on and on.  We left at 5:00 a.m. Thursday morning and arrived in Frankfurt at 8:30 a.m.  Once we arrived in Frankfurt, we prayed for a decent parking spot.  We read online that parking was difficult.  Thank you Lord, we got the first (and ONLY) parallel parking spot on the street.....5 steps from the Embassy.  Once we got Eli out, and entered into the line.  A police/security officer waved us up to the front of the line (which was wrapped around the corner).  WOW, thank you again Lord.  The experience was great, now it is just a matter of waiting for his passport and SS# card.  We walked out of the Embassy at 10:30 a.m.  Eli is now officially a U.S. citizen!!  Yeah baby boy!
