Enchanting Weekend

With the Seawolves rugby season in full swing, my wife and I have basically given up on our weekends for the next 12 weeks or so, because we know we will either be going to a game, or doing a watch party for an away game. We LOVE it.

But last week was a weirdo one-off Thursday night game, which gave us the weekend free. She had a whim that we go out of town to our Canadian friends' vacation home (which they can't get across the border to visit), and we asked my parents and sister to come too.

Remarkably, ALL of us were able to do it, and we spent the weekend in a swanky "cabin" on a cliff over the ocean, woodstove warming us when we didn't have the doors thrown open to the gorgeous sunny weather outside.

We played card games. We cooked wonderful food. We talked. We listened to music. We went for walks on the beach.

It was the kind of completely encompassing wonderfulness I have not felt in a looooong time.

It was good. VERY good. For all of us. We keep sending messages to the family group SMS thread about how blissed out we still are...

Not everyone is as fortunate as we are, to genuinely think of your parents/kids as your best friends, and people you ENJOY spending time with. I know this, and I am appreciative of that fact every single day. My family is wonderful and I love them completely.

Blissed out.
