missroseroseIt's been a good year-plus since I was seriously homesick for Juneau. I can only think of one time when I truly and honestly wondered whether we'd made the right decision to move, and that was in the depths of the six-month adjustment period, when we were stuck in Sierra Vista with no real friends, mountains of debt, no job for me, and Brian's employer's perjurous qualities becoming increasingly clear.
And really, I don't think I'd trade the sun and our great house with the great view (and great rental payment) for the constant rain and dark and cold and isolation. But for some reason, reading several Juneau friends' comments about the first snow and winter, and seeing pictures of one of them baking with her adorable now-toddler son (who was barely an infant when we left), I'm feeling the sting of time lost particularly poignantly this morning.
