Allo!

We thought that starting up a blog just before our journey over to study at Mid-America Reformed Seminary (MARS) would be a great way to keep everyone up to date. So here we go! (Plus we were inspired by the Kiwi's who are already over there and have their own blog - you should check it out HERE, it's a goodie :)).

So here it is. A place where we will (hopefully) keep you up-to-date with our adventures in the USA, as we face new cultures, and different climates. A new living situation, and a reverse way of driving. A place where the way we say 'tomato' is altogether wrong. Intensive Greek, being back to full-time student life and Christmas in the snow! Dun dun DUN!!! (I hope that sounded as dramatic and exciting in your mind as it did in mine :D)

Maybe a little bit about us for those of you who may not know us so well. :) We are both born and bred Kiwis. Both raised attending church - Hannah at the Reformed Church of the North Shore. Josh moving around a bit because his Dad is a minister, so he was at Pukekohe Reformed Church, in Christchurch at Bishopdale and then Dovedale as it was instituted. 

We were married 8 1/2 years ago, and can gratefully say we are even happier now then we were when first married. :) Josh has been a high-school teacher for the past 6 years, Hannah has been pursuing book illustration. So far, the Lord has not blessed us with a family, but He has blessed us in a huge number of other ways. We spent some time living in the UK after living in Christchurch for the first 3 years of our marriage, then came back to settle in Auckland where we have loved being members of the North Shore church once again. Now we are heading off to the USA so that Josh can study for the next three years working towards a Masters in Divinity. After which, Lord willing we will return home to NZ! 

This is us, and we hope that you will see us grow spiritually as this blog grows literally over the next three years. :)
