Cave dweller

Alaska is a beautiful land to live in... majestic mountains, deep blue skies, sapphire lakes, lush forests and unsympathetic weather. To be a true Alaskan one must be up to the challenge of living here. I have lived her for almost 19 years, in fact in June will be the anniversary. I have loved Alaska since I first visited in 1983. I was amazed at the beauty even at the age of 10. I loved the adventure, the people, towns and seeing sites that could not be seen in California. I was sad to leave. I vowed I would come back, I just didn't know how or when.
I moved back in 1991. I lived with my father and his family. I was happy to be back. I wanted the adventure, even if I was a little scared. I fell in love with Juneau and wanted to make it my home. I was willing to deal with the unrelenting rain, the ruthless bugs and the terrifying bears. I loves being here. It made me energized to walk around knowing that I was truly living in "God's country." How could it not be?? Saying anything less would be a lie.
Alaska is a state that is unmatched by any other. I am glad I live here. I am elated to raise my family here. What a wonderful childhood they will have. Life is good and I am happy to be able to live here on earth.
As to my title? As you can see I haven't posted in a while....why? I do not know, maybe I was living in a cave somewhere =) I am back...heehe.
