Celebrating my first 4th of July as an American

Last Fall I became an American Citizen.

USCitizen

Faneuil Hall

I have lived in Boston for more than 17 years and for quite a while I have been calling America my home. While I have pledged allegiance to a new country, my heart and of course my accent will always remain very British.

USCitizen1

Officially an American

I took the Oath at the most historical places in the US, Faneuil Hall. It was a beautiful, emotional and wonderful day!

USCitizen3

A big smile on a great day!

Tomorrow I celebrate my first Independence Day as an American. While there is a certain amount of irony involved with me being British, I cannot wait to actually enjoy a BBQ as a true American.

My office upon return to work 🙂

I hope everyone has an amazing and wonderful holiday!

My history of dubious diet choices and a fabulous, healthy recipe for Balsamic Chicken & Mushrooms - Let’s take a detour down memory lane, shall we? I’ve been on more diets than I’d like to admit.
