Our plan to spend all day Saturday at the beach was dampened by gray skies and consistent rain. What we ended up with was an amazing rain day!
Nate and I have been talking about doing outrigger canoe, but we didn't really know to logistics of joining a club or team, or whatever the deal is. Fortunately, last weekend when we did that amazing hike, we met a bunch of people that paddle out of a club nearby. Sign ups for the season started yesterday, so starting March 28, we are officially on a beginner paddling team. I hope we like it, as it will be consuming a good part of our spare time for the next 3ish months! I am fairly certain we will.
Afterwards we came home, decided that since the rain was pretty much going to keep us indoors, we would blow up the air mattress and park ourselves in front of the tv. After a surprisingly short amount of time, we picked something On Demand. Please tell me we aren't the only couple who, once we decide we want to watch something On Demand, spend the next 45 minutes searching for something until we just give up and watch something stupid on tv, or episodes of Sunny on DVD. Back to yesterday. After about 10 minutes we stumbled upon a movie that I really wanted to see, despite already seeing a 2 hours special about it on Dateline or 20/20. The movie, Catfish. I won't go in to detail about it, but if you haven't seen it, you should. It is, in my opinion, super interesting and a good rainy day movie to watch with your other half, or alone, although it is slightly creepy.
After the movie, the rain let up for a few minutes and we were able to go for a quick ride on our bikes. Then we got ready, headed to the mall for a fancy food court dinner, mmm... Blazin Steaks, and saw the new movie Hall Pass. It was hilarious! Ridiculously funny, and very crude at parts. However, if you freak out about a cheating partner, probably not the best movie to see, since that is the basis of the story. But really silly!
On a more somber note, today is the 1 year anniversary of Nate's sister's death. The other day I asked Nate what he wanted to do today to commemorate her, and he said that he would just like to do something fun outdoors, because that's what she would want us to do. Fittingly, it is absolutely gorgeous out today. Sunny, but enough clouds to give the sky an ethereal beauty. Nate is such an amazing and strong person!
