Five years ago, Hubbs and I and youngest boy spent the night in Detroit so I could take my citizenship test early the next morning.
Five years ago, I passed that test with flying colors.
Five years ago, I raised my right hand and took the oath of allegiance to the United States of America and proudly stepped forward as a new citizen.
Five years ago, I got my second passport.
Five years.
Five years ago, I couldn’t have imagined that five years later I’d be heading to Washington, D.C. this morning to represent my employer and my state.
Five years.
Only in America!
The United States Capitol is the meeting place of the United States Congress, the legislature of the federal government of the United States. Located in Washington, D.C., it sits atop Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall. http://www.visitthecapitol.gov/
