Ca y est !

...which means something like "I did it!" Now officially French, or Franco-American (think nationality, not SpaghettiOs) and feeling pretty darn happy about it. Had a heartfelt, random cocktail party the other night to celebrate, and received such gifts as a smelly camembert, a book on endangered French literary expressions, and a bouquet of blue, white and red flowers! Here's the distinguished head of the naturalization department handing over my shiny new passport and signed letter from Sarkozy.

Happy New Year to all!
