Seanette Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I plan to be there, with a YouTube in mind (although I'm not sure how that would work in chat) and cyber-chocolate cupcakes. Got an alarm set on my PDA and everything. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an alarm set on my PDA and everything. :-)Hi Seanette,All you do is post the link to the Youtube, and we'll all watch it at the same time. Same with your cyber cupcakes, if you want to leave a pic of them, just give us the link. If you don't want to leave a link, just let us know they're there, and we will cyber-eat them. :)I probably should have explained this earlier, so I'm glad you brought it up!Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalpromise516 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Hey Everyone!!! Guess who finally got her tootsies wet today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME It was beyond ABSOLUTELY amazing. I got dressed, packed up everything I could think of, and drove to the church. A girl I'm kinda friends with from the YSA branch for my stake helped me get ready. I got to wear a dress too, and not one of those DEAD sexy jumpsuits!! :D I was so nervous right up until the bishopric member dismissed everyone to go into the font room, and had the Elder and I leave first so we could get ready. I went back and forth about whether to wear my ear plugs that I have to have, which I finally did. Then I saw the Elder start to go down into the water, and this incredible wave of peace just washed over me, I almost couldn't believe it was time. So I folded the dress around my legs (as missingsomething counseled me to do ), and stepped in. The water relaxed me even more it was so warm, and perfect. before they pulled back the curtain door, Elder Henrie and I quickly went over the hands and knees drill, and he just kinda patted/rubbed my shoulder and said he was so proud of me and not to be nervous, which meant the world to me. Next thing I know I heard the clicking of the curtain door being pulled back, so I closed my eyes, he raised his hand, and started calling out my name. By then I had entered a peaceful zone but yet heard every word of his voice. When he brought his hand to my shoulder and started to lean me back, I bent my knees and didn't close my eyes until my head hit the water, as I wanted to take everything that I could in all at once. I almost didn't want to come out of the font As I stepped out of the font, I felt so heavy from the water dripping off, but at the same time I felt light as air. I kept peeking back around the door's corner to look at the font again before I changed. Then again as soon as I was dressed, I looked back in, and all the water was gone and the light was turned off I wanted to touch it one more time....I also didn't want to let go of my wet dress, or put it back in their rack. I wanted to take it home with me and keep it for the rest of my life! Maybe one day I'll learn how to sew, make a nice one that's the same size, and exchange it My two speakers were amazing, the two I had do the opening/closing prayers were ok, and overall it was a perfect day. The only thing that went wrong is my two special videos I wanted to show while I was changing didn't end up working, neither did the audio copy, but after everything started it didn't even matter any more. I just wanted to get in the water... Thank you all so much for giving me the much needed support and love so I could finally get to this day. I'll be posting pictures soon :) -EP Edited June 20, 2009 by eternalpromise516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
