Rucos ALMOST a US citizen!!!


YAY! Ruco got his letter today about his appointment date for citizenship! It is November 1st in Jacksonville! Hopefully he will get accepted THIS time, and we will finally have our US citizen party with American Flag cake and all!! I know Jo was so sad last time when they denied Ruco because we really had the coolest party planned ever! =) Basically, they denied Ruco because they said he had not lived in the US for 5 consecutive years since he went over to Latvia for 2 years with Campus Crusade, but his entire family who was also in Latvia got approved...weird. Well now hes been in the US for over 5 consecutive years, so break out the sparklers baby! Anyway, now we can do Peace Corps and go on lots of fun trips without having to get stinky visas all the time! Hooray!

I don't really know whether to congratulate him or condemn him as a traitor. This would be sarcasm of course. Congrats on it I guess.

Is that when he's being interviewed? Or is it to take his Oath of Citizenship? Congrats!!! Definitely know what he's going through right now! BTW, I was in Pensacola yesterday at UWF to recruit students at their Career Fair and I thought about you :-) Take Care!
