Bio
Meeting at 15 and 17 on a party boat sailing on Melbourne's Yarra River, neither Keren or I had any idea what lay in store for our future. Marrying 4 1/2 years after we met, Keren's Mum pulled her aside right before she walked down the aisle and said, "Marrying Paul, the two of you together, your life will never be boring!" A very accurate prediction of a life together that has been anything other than boring. As very young, headstrong adults, we traversed the trials and tribulations of early married life with enthusiasm, drama and some fantastic arguments! Between the two of us studying, working full time jobs, my part time service in the Australian Army and living on an island (connected to the mainland by a bridge) we discovered we enjoyed a life that was filled with excitement, change and unpredictability. We have indeed been blessed to live a life that has incorporated all of these elements on a grand scale! We often get asked why we live the way we do, moving around, actively seeking relationships with others and often walking on the fringes of society. At the core of who we are is our Faith and belief that Jesus is actually the Son of God, and that He asks us to live in a broken world, but find the beauty within it, seeking relationships with people but not buying in to what society says we have to do or be or have. We fail miserably at this time and time again, but we keep coming back to it as our central purpose for being. Secondly, who we are as a couple is paramount to our life together. Before our kids, there was us, after our kids leave, we plan on there still being us. In the midst of kid-land all the complexities and daily events that come with children, there has to be us. We have to actively nurture who we are as a couple and as individuals, supporting and growing in love for each other as the years pass by. Once again, we often fail miserably in our quest to love each other, but we continue to come back to our desire to place the sanctity of our relationship above all other earthly stuff. Our four blessings our integral to our story. Given each one as a gift to love, nurture, teach and enjoy, we strive to raise people who will be purpose-filled adults who love humanity with a deep conviction. Three boys, and one girl make for a loud, boisterous, active household. Read more about our adventures over the years as they unfold at #thisonedayislife
