I have never been to New Zealand and have no idea whether you want to go there or not, but if I were you, I would want to find a way to make it happen. Can you negotiate a little bit higher salary to cover the shortfall? If you rented the house with furnishings, would that help make up the difference? I know here in the states, if a place is sort of near a hospital, it's pretty easy to rent out a fully furnished house to traveling radiologists or relocating doctors who aren't ready to purchase. I suppose, though, the *real* question is: How interested are *you* in going?
Yeah, patience is in order...but I want it now! lol I keep trying to tell myself that I am waiting for the harvest to mature and that if I try to eat the fruit too soon it will make me sick. Of course, he isn't telling me we will be together and it isn't time yet-- he is telling me that he still doesn't know what he wants and he doesn't know what is going to happen with us. It's harder to wait for the harvest, when you're not even sure if you're going to be in the orchard.
