Officially Kiwi Clevelys

Ten years and three months ago, Nick and I started the odious process of filling in the necessary paperwork which would allow us to touch down in Aotearoa and live temporarily on a work permit.  A few years after that there was more paperwork for the next work permit, and a few years after that we could apply for residence.  Now finally, we have reached highest pinnacle of belonging in New Zealand - we attended our citizenship ceremony today and swore our oaths of allegiance.  The mayor asked us which rugby team we would be supporting now.  Caleb, ever the quick-wit, said, "whichever team is winning"!  We are so thankful to the Lord for His gracious hand on us, and for our FriendsWhoAreFamily in NZ.
