9/7 Overcoming homebodyness, Jacob, and Sarah's landlady

So, Sarah was trying to get down to the root of the problem that I have had with spending time with her other than scheduled time like temple and institute. We finally decided that I was afraid that my parents would not let me go out so much to be with Sarah. Also that they would not like it if Sarah was at our house so much. So, Sarah asked me to talk to them, which I did just now. So, my parents would rather that I schedule times when she would be with the whole family and times when we would just go out, so she wouldn't always be in our home. I also told them about our run ins with Kimberly the last few days, so they were understanding. They are willing to have us be out and about, as long as we let them know before we go. Dad doesn't want her here in the house all the time. He suggested Barnes and Noble, the Nature Center, the library, Target, and a couple other places. Also, they told me that they want me to bring up the fact that it is usually the bride's family that takes care of everything and they want to know what that means as far as how much they want my family to pitch in on the wedding. They're going to talk to her about it on Saturday, when she comes over for dinner. It took a lot to get the whole truth out of me from Sarah. I, at first, said that it was because I wanted time to myself, to unwind, which isn't half true. I guess, I just didn't want to sound pathetic that I don't have control over my life, like a normal college student.

Kimberly was giving Sarah grief today. She called as we got to the institute building. So after a 40 minute conversation with her, we finally went in. She brought up that she doesn't want us all over her house doing things. She even threatened Sarah that she was going to give her a 30-day eviction notice, because there was a big misunderstanding. I think that Sarah needs to get out of there as soon as she can. Two weeks ago, Brother Trask mentioned that there was a lady that wanted a female sister to move to her house that was LDS. So I asked Brother Trask for the contact information and he gave me the name and number of the Lady. I hope it all works out. It seems that the lady might be in my self reliance class. Shaunna Lee. 

Sarah asked for a blessing, so I prayed with her first, and I gave her the blessing.

Today was a bit trying at work. I was at Sycamore Hills SDC, Mrs. Pearson's class. There were so many aides in the class and each one had their own agenda, especially Mrs. Pat, who kinda took over some of the time, and we had the school psychologist making her rounds to see how a student was doing. I just did my best. Tomorrow I'm at Jurupa Vista, Mrs. Raymondo's SDC class. This is the first time this school year that I'm in her class. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

The other big news is Last night, Mom got a call from President Bednar, Jacob's mission president to tell her that they were thinking of giving Jacob some anxiety medicine to help combat what he's feeling. No depression though. Dad later in the evening called President Bednar to talk to him. They arranged for them to receive a call from Jacob today at 6:30pm. I was leaving for institute at the time, and I didn't know any of this so it was interesting hearing his voice over the phone, but I didn't say anything and had to leave for institute. He's doing fine, no hint of depression, just doing his best to be a missionary. They said he sounded great, so I'll take their word for it. I'm glad he's getting stuff worked out. I love my brother.

I played ping pong against Austin Moss, who is a formidable foe. I played him three times. Got close in the last game, but I also wasn't all there because I was starting to feel pretty anxious. It was fun though. I had a great time.
