Almost a real person

Today, I received a letter saying I’m approved to be a Permanent Resident (a notch up from my previous status of being on a Partner Visa). It was granted 9/18/06 -- or, as the locals say, 18/9/06.

I'm one step closer to becoming a true-blue Aussie -- while still retaining my U.S. cizitzenship. Someday I'll get to vote in **two** national elections!!!
