Landed

He Who Is Here Now is from this point forward (and indeed for the past couple of months should have been) known as He Who Is Now Landed.

In a shockingly fast process (two months from processing fee being paid to letter arriving saying it was done -- ignoring the sluggish time it took us to get our "case" materials in place to actually get the application done) He Who is Now Landed became a permanent resident (landed immigrant) of this fair Dominion (oh, wait we dropped that from the official name of the country didn't we -- the Canada Act 1982 trumping the Constitution Act, 1871 and general practice; and I'm still pouting over it), so in fact, a permanent resident of this fair Canada.

We zipped over the bridge into New York State (to shop, of course) and re-entered the country. Once his papers were stamped I jumped around like a fool in front of the bureaucrats and others waiting to cross the border. In fact, the actual crossing guards aside, the folks at the border shared in our excitement, with at least bemusement at my excitement.

Been meaning to blog about this for some time, but wanted to wait for the photo and then had to wait until we had a wee flag. And yah, yah, the identical coats -- that itself (more like the reaction complete strangers believe they need us to hear) is the subject of its own blog; one which I've been meaning to write since LAST winter.

Anyway, Canada 1, South Korea -1 WHOOHOO!
