So much has changed in these three years, yet it seems like such a short period of time. In some ways, I almost feel like that dark night when we first arrived was only a few months ago. In others, I feel like I've been here for most of my life.
I wonder if I'm still in the honeymoon phase when it comes to my move to Soldotna. I'm still just smitten with the place. It feels like an amazing dream to the point that I am afraid I might wake up from this.
Sure there are downsides and there have been some rough patches, but I love this place. Someone once told me that most people have only two choices: they can love where they live, but hate their job; or love their job and hate where they live. I feel so blessed to both love my job and where I live. I am sorry that not everyone can feel or say the same.
I hope that this fourth year is at least as great as the last three have been.
