Storm and sunset

We had a huge thunderstorm roll through this afternoon, making it feel like late evening. I love hearing the rain and thunder with the windows open...

It cleared up in the evening, with a gorgeous sunset. Zari kept stopping to ask me to take pictures. Of course they look even more stunning in real life.





Zari has an interview for a police job she applied for! It would be full-time in July and August, serving as an assistant to the municipal police, patrolling mainly on bike. Hopefully she makes the next cut. It's this Thursday. She's also been doing training for the bike tour company, which at the moment means going on the tours to learn the routes and the scripts.

I've made great progress towards getting German citizenship by declaration, and I've confirmed that my grandmother's case falls within the requirements! I have someone who is helping us fill out all of the applications, which we hope to send off in the next 2 months. This means me and all 4 kids could become German citizens!

When I started taking German in 9th grade, with my classroom name Gitta (a shortened form of my grandmother Brigitta), I never imagined I could actually become German! Thank you to the 2021 amendments to the German Nationality Act (StAG)!
