- Juan went to take his $400 citizenship test after months and months of waiting for his July 18th appointment.
- Juan got denied to take his citizenship test within only 5 minutes of being there from an immigration officer who didn't know what he was doing. (New man on the job.)
- Once back home, Juan called the office and talked to someone else who told him to travel back into the city to have an talk with her about the situation.
- Juan drove back and finally was able to take the test given by the same officer, who was now hurt after having a hit to his ego.
- He passed the test! Now he just has to relinquish his Resident Card and be sworn-in as a United States citizen.
- Friday night, we drove out to West Chester to go swimming with our friend, Kurt.
- We tried to get Siena to go to sleep for the night for about an hour and a half.
- Saturday morning (today,) we drove around the area looking for yard sales with chairs.
- On our way around town, we were involved in a car accident. The woman making a left-hand turn drove straight into our lane. Luckily Juan swerved as hard as he could and we avoided a head-on collision. Unfortunately, both cars still suffered damage to the front driver's-sides. The woman was smoking something when we saw her coming toward us and after Juan talked to her, we were pretty sure she was high. This was made more evident after she left the scene to "get her insurance card" from her nearby home, never to return. Luckily, her mother came back to handle the situation and she admitted full fault on behalf of her daughter to the police officer. We're so grateful everyone was safe and unharmed, especially Siena.
- After making a few stops before heading home (thanks Kim!,) we finally got the car insurance situation squared away. (Remind me to never intentionally get in another car accident, not that I ever would, because dealing with insurance companies is such an annoyance.)
- Now I'm heading off for West Chester again to take Siena swimming, this time with Amber. Hopefully the weather is as good as it was yesterday....

Congrats to Juan on passing that test. I have heard its a doooosey!
When does Juan get sworn in? /we are so happy for him! Is all okay after the car accident? We're glad you're not in the hospital or anything. When do you get your car back?
And then Juan got locked out of the house for a few hours, and you forgot that his phone is broken. What a crummy weekend!
Terrible - I hate care wrecks. So stressful. I am so glad you are all OK! Congrats to Juan! That's awesome!
