update

we find out today how brent's assessment went. he has been able to think of little else. i am not worried. he feels good about how things went. he found out that the saanich police paid a thousand dollars for his seat there that day, so they want him to succeed and they don't send someone there lightly.
on monday we were rejected for the 4 bedroom. they said we didn't have enough kids. no surprise there, except we lost the 3 bedroom that they'd offered to us. i don't really mind. i like where i live. i just don't like the feeling that our house is bursting at the seams with stuff. that part really bugs me.
thanks for all your supportive comments in regards to relief society. i've had a bit of a reprieve this week and it has been nice. sarah and i even got to have sister movie night and i also got in a bit of gilmore girls. sister jones called me this week to tell me she'd be away and give me some info and then said all these nice things about what it means to her and the other older ladies to have a young relief society president and also how much she enjoyed the lesson on sunday. funny, i've really come to appreciate her in relief society. i didn't know how much she did.

yesterday while on my run i was attacked by a crow. it was the scariest thing. i was just running along one of my usual routes and then a crow swooped down on me. it freaked me out. and then it did it again and again. i ran faster and tried zigzagging. it didn't help. i didn't know what to do so i ran into some trees where it couldn't swoop down on me like that. but the mean crow waited for me and when i emerged it swooped again. this time i screamed to see if that would help. it didn't seem to. it swooped 2 more times after that. i was so scared that i could hardly run after that. it took a lot for me to just slowly jog the rest of the way home. now i'm a little nervous to run down that road again. i guess its baby was out of the nest and it felt threatened.
