About 3 weeks ago I opened my mailbox to find one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received. When I saw the return address, I got a bit nervous because the envelope was so thin and I assumed it was probably bad news.
Then I opened the letter and read:
That's right folks, as of last month, I am officially a froggette (froggette-yank, or Framerican according to the Brit, to be more accurate).
Of course, this being France, I still have to wait up to 6 months to receive the official documents I need to get a French passport and ID card. But now I can whinge about French bureaucracy as a foreigner and a citizen....

Congratulations Frogette.
We may have to do a Frogette award thingy over at Garlic!
All the best
Keith
so, this means the next time i wing over to paris you will be in town?
Congratulations! And welcome to the club. :)
PS. I remember finding it quite funny to realize that I had been French for a few weeks without even knowing it!!
Congrats! I still have one more year to wait!
Hi Keith - A frogette award would be appreciated :)
Deborah - that depends on when you plan on coming over. One advantage to getting an EU passport is that it makes it easier to leave for extended periods of time.
KSam - Yeah, it is very odd, especially since I wasn't expecting an answer for another few months.
Andi - good luck. If my case is any indication you should get a response earlier than expected.
