What truly made my day today, besides the double birthdays in my family, was picking up my new Mexican temporary resident card. I'm now legally allowed to stay in Mexico for three more years. At that point, I can apply for permanent residency which never has to be renewed.Are we going to go for Mexican citizenship. Probably not. I doubt that our Spanish will ever be good enough for that. But the only thing citizenship gives you that residency doesn't is the right to vote.
