    You're lucky you weren't' considered to have abandoned your US residency and had to start over. You'd need to review the specific dates, but I suspect the continuous presence isn't going to start for you until July 2008. You can apply for citizenship 5 years from then (well you can get the paperwork started 90 days before the official date) or three years if this is a family-based residency.

    If you are Green Card holder , you can apply for U.S. Citizenship at a later time. i don't know much about US citizenship, while searching on the web i found a website http://www.usgreencardoffice.com/ its all about permanent residence in united states,for more deep inside you can check it by yourself, i hope it helps you.
