Suddenly German

[emo_snal]

   I thought I had already written about this but due to the number of "wait what??" comments to my last post about my offhand reference to getting a German passport, apparently I didn't

Most excellent, Chris! And we will welcome both of you here in Spain whenever that happens! The more options, the better!
When will you and Cristina be able to get together again?

[emo_snal]

Well we're thinking of meeting in Spain just for vacation together maybe next April! (:

Very cool!!! I did not know any of this, so good to know and thank you for explaining. I could probably get German citizenship, too! Since I don't plan to move anywhere outside the US, though, probably too much trouble.

Based on some of the comments, I'm guessing Cristina lives in a different country?

Yes she lives in Venezuela, and due to covid we haven't been able to see eachother for three years now!! ):

I'm so sorry! That's awful! :(

The part I’m happy about here is that you’re still making plans with Christina. You hanent written about her here in a long time, and I was sort of figuring that after the wedding got called off, maybe something had happened, and that was no longer a plan anymore.

Nope we still talk every day and try to make plans for when we can finnnnnnally see eachother! <3

Congratulations on getting your German passport, it'll make a huge difference when you visit the EU.

I'm looking forward to cruising through the "EU passports" line :D Though I think I'll always be anxious the passport control officer will try to say something to me in German after seeing my passport and I'll be like ummm

You can always learn the German for "Sorry, I didn't grow up in Germany".
