10/7 Day of Sarah and Seven Brides/Seven Brothers

Wow, what a marathon of a date Sarah and I had today. First, I picked her up to take her to building cleaning. I was in charge of the trashes around the building. The code for the trash lock outside is 0714, haha. Sister O'Neill was helping me with all the trashes. When I got that done, I found Sarah helping Claire Larson, relief society president, to wipe down the windows with the church's version of Windex. She was happy that I looked for her to help. We ate some donut, she the donut bites and I the maple bar and buttermilk, and listened to Sister O'Neill tell us about her first encounter with Brother O'Neill and their subsequent courtship.

Then, after that, she went with me to help Chris Michael Acosta with moving his furniture to the house two houses down. We first moved the drawers in a dresser. Then the big dresser. Then a little one. Then a table, his Flat screen tv, then his monitor and computer screen. All that took about an hour. He was happy that we could help him. We were happy to help. Even if Chris is somewhat weird. He called Sarah the lovely Sarah.

We then went to DI for a bit to check out what they had and go through my routine of first books, then games, then DVDs, and then we looked for suit jackets and furniture prices.

Then we did our things back home, like I did the Ward Council Agenda and worked on reading the Self Reliance lesson. Mom and Dad came down and we talked before we went to eat. We went to the Peruvian Restaurant on Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino, but for some reason it was super full, hour wait before food would be ready. So we turned around and went to Mucho Gusto, the Peruvian restaurant here in Fontana. Mom and Dad both got Lomo Saltado, and we both got Tallarin Saltado. We felt really good by the end. Dad was having fun with our waitress, who is going to Peru soon.

We both went back home so we could pick up my laptop. Then we went to the library where we had our first Family Council. We discussed finances because Sarah is in mondo-debt. We spent our whole time discussing the debt she was in, which wasn't an easy thing for her to do. I'm proud of her. We didn't get to other stuff. But we will in subsequent family councils. We have to because our wedding is coming up. We did call Bishop Hinckley about whoever was in charge of buildings. He wouldn't give us phone numbers. So we called around. We finally got a number to someone that could help us. We are just waiting to hear back from him.

We came home (except I forgot to call ahead of time to see if it was okay to come in. Dad was a little ticked) that we spent the time watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The movie was very good. Sarah really liked it. But she didn't like that after the movie was over, that I needed her to go home without watching Netflix. She thought it was a bit abrupt. Plus I was going to go with my mom to the Grocery Store to pick up food for missionaries tomorrow. Sarah's better right now after having time to calm down a bit.

Groceries was good.

Life is good, besides sometimes thinking that I can't go through a day without making someone mad or concerned or angry.
