Hi everyone! Dane and Christy here, just wanting to welcome you to our little blogging home out here on the world wide web. We got married in October 2011, and three months after, to the day, moved from small town Kansas to Sydney, Australia. Why such the adventure? God put on our hearts for Dane to come and study worship at Hillsong College, more specifically electric guitar. Meanwhile Christy is hard at work each day fulfilling your caffeine needs at a local cafe.
And here we are, wanting to invite you in on our little adventure, through pictures, video, music and more. We hope you enjoy!
And now, a few specifics about each of us:
* Has a beard* Really really really wants a puppy. He has made me a dog person.
And now, a few specifics about each of us:

* One of the most creative persons I have ever met. And I love her so much for that
* Loves lawn gnomes and owls. But mostly owls
* Has an amazing singing voice
* Learned to play guitar so she could lead worship. Ask her about the Gremlin
* An introvert at heart that puts up with my extrovertiness (if that's even a word...)
* Loves to cuddle with just about anything (puppy dogs excluded....)
* Loves her momma's homemade chicken and noodle soup
* Despises my addiction to video games but tolerates it
* Has a love for colors and vintage everything

She loves the little things in life. Christy is an incredible, Godly woman who strives everyday to be the woman God's created her to be. She is my love and the place I feel most at rest. I am so excited to see what life holds for us in life.
