A true confession, and a real dilemma

The time has come for me to start thinking seriously about pursuing a PhD. I have one year left of my program, and there is the pressure (mostly internal, but some from outside sources) to look into post-graduate schools. Chris and I have been talking, trying to plan our future, which is hard when I am still undecided as to what I want to do. The real dilemma is that if I don't do my PhD, in all likelihood we would move back to the West Coast. Both Chris and I feel that is home for us; Chris's family is there, my friends are there, we could both paddle year round, and we wouldn't have to wear winter boots for 5 months out of the year. Neither Chris nor I are abundantly happy in Ottawa, although I am doing better than I was last year. So what do I do....do I go home because I am happier in Victoria, or do I actually commit myself to more schooling? See my conundrum?
