tomorrow is the day!!

Hi Ya'll! Tomorrow is my big day! What better lead in to my new life than such a wonderful general conference! I love Pres. Hinckley so much! I have created a web-page if any of you want to check it out...it's at http://mari-fritz.tripod.com check it out and tell me what you think! I think the biggest problem I'm going to have adjusting, is the no drinking thing. I have not yet been able to get through a meal without drinking something. I just don't know quite how I'm going to adjust to that one! But, for tonight, I'm just focusing on preparation. Our home teacher is coming over at 7 to assist my hubby in giving me a blessing. My Bishop is my anestheologist so if anything goes wrong in there, I'm going to tell him to get out his oil, and give me a blessing right away! Gotta be good when the Bishop is in there with ya! I've been on clear liquids all day, and I have to admit, there for a while, I was pretty darn hungry and grouchy, but, then I just remembered what it's all for and I was okay again. That and I laid my head in my hubby's lap and listened to conference and was calmed, assured and comforted by the spirit in conference. Wish me luck, say some prayers and I'll post again as soon as I can afterwards! Mari

This is life changing. There will be a time when you say "What have I done to myself?" Hopefully this phase will pass quickly. You have to keep telling yourself that this is a choice you made and make the best of it. Good luck. Sounds like you're in good hands. Keep us posted. Melody
