Joel and I stayed in a hotel in Chelan, WA over the weekend. We traveled for the purpose of going to his uncle's funeral and I must say that it was one of the most inspiring I've ever attended. I had only ever met Joel's uncle Larry once, so I think it is a testament to the man he was that the ceremony ended with me feeling loss over the fact that I did not have the opportunity to know him better.
While a funeral is obviously not a joyous occasion, I did get to meet a group that quickly became my favorite McCousins. All things considered, we had a wonderful time with the family and I look forward to spending more time with them under less distressing circumstances. (Come to Seattle to visit, we have meatballs! You know who you are!)
I also got to spend a lot of quality time with Joel. Up until around this time last year, we had put "our" time on the back burner and with dire consequences I might add. We had both forgotten why it was important to make time for being a couple. I can write more about why it is so happy making that we remembered in another blog, but for now I'll just say that we had a spectacular time connecting with each other and remembering why we decided to do that whole lifetime commitment thing.
And...the view from our hotel room kicked ass. We are plotting to go back soon, but in the case that you are stopping through, we both recommend the Best Western in Chelan.
