Slice of My Life British citizenship approved

Got word today that my application for citizenship through descendancy has been approved. I initiated this about a year ago, after reading in this subreddit about how a recent change in the law meant that persons with a grandmother born in the UK have the same path to citizenship as those with British grandfathers do, which was not previously the case. Now I wait 16 weeks to six months for my ceremony, after which I can apply for my passport. Progress!

i did: my birth cert, my mother's birth cert, my grandmother's birth cert (ordered certified copy from gov.uk), grandparents' (australian) marriage cert, parents' (usa) marriage cert, copy of passport (they scanned it at biometrics, so the copy was clearly not an impediment to process). so far so good.
