My partner has finally received the offer, signed it and is returning it to the company next week! The wait was nerve-racking and our enthusiasm was starting to fall, but we got there. Yay!
Unfortunately, it's not clear exactly when we're leaving. We have to apply for the working visa (well, he'll do most of the job on that one), decide what we'll bring with us, decide what to do with accounts and services, continue researching apartments, visit family & friends back home, go to Vegas (What!? We have a package deal we need to use!), pack and go. I have a feeling we'll need to drink a lot of coffee in the coming weeks... :-)
Everything that's been happening to us in the past year is so good. We're happy we have this golden opportunity to experience life on the other side of the world. I'm looking forward to getting on that plane and starting a new life - again!
EXCITING!!!
