Sundays really are quite wonderful, when a Monday at work is not being dreaded all day long. I had, in fact, a perfect day. I lounged around for most of the morning, ran a few errands in the afternoon with Nat and spent the early evening having our first family dinner with my boyfriend in attendance. It's an amazing feeling to have the people you care most about all in the same room enjoying each others company, good food, and good conversation with absolute ease - and it's very easily taken for granted. These moments, as they say, are what make life worth living. It's been really difficult at times as I've said before to integrate Nick back into my life and just generally feel like a normal couple, so it's for that reason that it feels doubly wonderful to enjoy nights like these, and it reminded me how much I look forward to getting to spend the same kinds of evenings with his family, getting to know them again. It all made me appreciate how very lucky I am to be with someone who values spending time with family as much as I do. We ended up skipping the first movie of the double feature just to spend more time together and it warmed my heart that it was his idea to do so.
Nick and I went on after dinner to go try something different and watch a
black & white movie from the 1940's called Double Indemnity as part
of the Film Noir Festival. It was so cool (and funny) to see and we're
both looking forward to going to watch more. The movie finished early
enough, so (despite my legs still being jelly-like and sore from the run
on Saturday) instead of just heading straight home, he suggested we
take a walk around downtown. We walked all the way down to the water
and around the Convention Centre, just talking and enjoying our
beautiful city and summer evening.
