As of April 17th, I am Canadian. And I had no idea until my dad called to congratulate me. Apparently Canada changed it's citizenship requirements and, since my mom was born in Canada and a Canadian citizen at the time of my birth (and still is), I am now a Canadian citizen too. My mom said that when she told my little sister Amy that she was Canadian now, Amy was worried and said, "You mean I won't be able to vote?" Yes, Amy, you can still vote...well..in 12 years.... we're now dual citizens. I guess I'd better re-learn O Canada! and practice saying "eh" after everything.Saturday, April 18, 2009
Pass the maple syrup, eh?

I can't believe I didn't blog about this! I was so excited to learn that my children will be joining me as proud Canadians. Jackson will not be a Canadian, one parent has to be born in Canada. Sorry. :( Oh well he comes from great Canadian ancestery.
I can teach you O Canada in French & English--I bet Karen doesn't really know it in French. lol
Alright! That makes us countrymen! My mom was also born and raised in Canada, and I spent a year living there as well...
Tell Jack congrats on getting into BYU!
