Granted, the places that I know make up only a small percentage of what is a relatively small town. Still, I have already come to think of Soldotna as home. While I still have to find an actual house, it's become home nonetheless.
The people have really made us feel this way. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming. We've already made connections with a number of people whom I believe will be good friends.
Trevor and I plan on doing more exploring this weekend, and I don't doubt that we'll make even more discoveries and friends the longer we stay here.
