New Adventures... of the "Benver" Kind

Last weekend was one of the harder and at the same time most memorable and exciting weekends I've ever had. Thursday and Friday I had a viewing and funeral for Ben's grandpa, which was actually really nice. I usually can't handle funeral events because they're so sad and all about mourning, but this one was a celebration. A celebration of life and the family that has come about because of that wonderful man. It was also a lot of fun to see the family again.

It had me thinking, death really isn't that scary of a concept. For some it's an ending, but for me it seems like the ending of one chapter but the beginning of a brand new chapter full of new and exciting adventures. I love life and I love being here, I know that this can't be it. I know that I'll be able to continue on living somehow and that I'll get to be with the people that I love even after this life is over. It also really comforts me to know that when that time does come, I will have my very best friend by my side, or at least waiting for me to continue on with our crazy life together.

We also went up to a yurt, which was my first time ever in a yurt but it was so much fun! I got to go ski untracked pow pow until my legs just couldn't take it anymore. Then we had a very nice porch sit in the late afternoon before dinner. So much fun! A lot of work and now I'm very sore but really, really worth it!
