Making Plans!

Things are looking up! My om in Australia was having trouble staying positive about our future, and trying to reassure him was draining me emotionally. I'd planned to go out to see him in Sydney in December but he wasn't completely comfortable with the pressure advanced flight bookings would put on us. But then I talked to him yesterday and found out that he's going to spend the summer (Nov-Feb) in New Zealand, using up his accumulated vacation days. He's so excited to go to NZ, and now he can't wait for me to come out and visit him there. He's looking into staying there permanently, and he found out that US citizens (like me) can get a full year working holiday visa to NZ, unlike the 4 month max to Australia. So he's happy, and as positive as I've ever seen him. And I get to go to New Zealand! The date is tentatively set for December 8, and I'll likely stay for three weeks, so we may even spend Christmas together. It's so incredibly encouraging to hear him so happy and anxious to see me. He's already making plans for things to do together once I'm there. I don't feel uncertain about the trip anymore, and now it's all I can do to contain myself for the next three months! :)

I am glad for your plans and I hope that you have the best of times. Going to NZ sounds exciting! The land of the Lord of the Rings! :)

Thanks for wishing us well!
