It's good news week.....

It has been two weeks since the other two keepers pulled out of the exchange deal that started this whole journey. For friends who have been following us during this period, you are aware of the struggle it has been at times. The two weeks feels like two months to me as so much has happened and so may plans have changed, but almost daily our road seems to be getting smoother and clearer. The latest good news was via a phone call to Phil from Hamilton Zoo yesterday morning. They have offered him a contract until the end of February, the same as what I will be doing. At that point, there will be three permanent positions on offer so it is looking really positive that more work will eventuate. This news had us both bouncing around the house last night in a 'happy dance'! Further more, another option for the care of our dogs has arisen. One of the vet nurses I work with has a property not far from our farm and has offered to look after the dogs for how ever long we need. All this good news is surely a sign of things to come?

Thanks to those who have sent messages of encouragement. Everyone had faith that things were going to get alot better and as hard as it was for me to see this eventuating, that's exactly what is happening now. Bit by bit, the wall that suddenly arose two weeks ago is crumbling. This morning I can peek over the top, and see the grassy meadows and snow capped mountains of our destination, and my dreams, once more.
