8/20 Yesterday tears and Special Sacrament meeting

So, I'm sorry, I did not write yesterday. My parents kept me up because they were disappointed with how I spent my time with Sarah on Saturday. Basically, I spent the whole day with her at the temple and at her brother's that I didn't give them enough time to meet her. We got home after the long day, and when they got back home, they harshly told me in front of Sarah Rebecca that they were upset with me for not being considerate. Plus, I had told mom that I would be home in between 3 and 4 and they wanted to do something with us but they didn't communicate it to me at all. I did continually update them as to how we were doing on time, but on the phone I got abrasive and told mom that I was an adult, and she hung up on me. Okay, probably not the best way to treat my mom, but... So, after Sarah left, they talked with me upstairs, reitterating their feelings. And they told me not to hold back or keep pent up feelings. So, I finally let it all go and cried while telling them how I felt about specific things that they were holding back from me. Yes, I cried, a lot. I don't know if everything was resolved, but at least they know somewhat how I feel.

Today, I got up early-ish to help Sarah pay for her new place, and unload her car into her new room on Plane Tree, literally just three blocks away from where I live on Yarron and close to Smoketree. I needed to go by 10:30 so I could catch Ward Council, and fortunately we left right then and got all the paperwork signed and her room packed. I gave her the directions to the Woodruff Building. I went to ward council and she sat in the chapel and her car and waited.

In Ward Council, we discussed the new self-reliance classes that are getting started next Sunday. I was volunteered by Brother Harris to be a facilitator. Hopefully, I live to the expectation. I introduced Sarah to the bishopric, and they were all really nice to her. Bishop invited her to the new member meeting, where Sarah said she mostly is moving to California to be with me (no pressure, right). Sacrament was pretty special. I introduced myself to many people and got two prayers. Then, after the new member meeting she took off, with a couple kisses and Sabina's wheelchair, to my relief.

I talked to Chris Chandroo after that meeting and helped him get a TV for his Elder's Quorum lesson. We are really good friends and I do like him a whole lot. We talked about doing something this week before he leaves to finish up his time at BYU Hawaii. His lesson was pretty good.

I stayed for the food but skipped out on the Pot Luck fireside. We had breakfast for dinner, including great eggs and some great coffee cake and monkey bread.


I came home and just went upstairs to take a nap.

Mom woke me up and we watched Gymnastics. I ate some of her great Chicken soup.

I wrote a letter to Jacob and talked to Sarah. She will probably get back to Orem by 1am Utah time. She still has a couple of hours left.

 Life has been really good. In most ways. Sarah and I decided to start a weightloss program called Optavia. We are a week and two days in to...
