Naturalization for Green Card holder studying abroad

I am a Green Card holder and am currently enrolled in school abroad together with my US citizen husband.

I will become eligible for naturalization in December, 2009. I have respected all the requirements for maintaining US residency-came home during every vacation thus every 4-5 months, have spent more than half of the last 3 years in the US, maintained US bank accounts. I don't have ties to the foreign country other than getting degree.

I plan on applying for my US citizenship right after I get home during the winter break. I will be home for about 1.5 months and expect to get my fingerprints done during that time. I will fly home for interview.

Is there anything I should fear regarding the naturalization process given that I take classes abroad? Is it risky to apply?
