Electronics and the Temple don't mix.

We just got back from Sheri's wedding. It was great. But I had a little problem with certain electronic devices in the celestial room. Sheri's sealing was supposed to start at 11:00. The Boise temple didn't have one of those signs to remind you to turn things off, so I forgot. And at about 10:50, I got a phone call on my cell phone, which was in my purse under my chair. I quickly opened it up, hung up on whoever was calling me, and turned off my phone. The people in there all laughed and smiled at me and I am sure I looked all red and embarrassed. I got it all turned off though and was relieved that wouldn't happen again. Think again Diane!

I had Sheri's wedding scheduled in my Palm Pilot at 11:30 (it was really at 11). And my planner automatically sounds a reminder alarm 15 minutes prior to any appointment that I have entered. So, right on cue, during the little talk the sealer was giving to Sheri and Paul and us, I hear an alarm. It is kind of a few little beeps that sound and then there is silence for a few seconds and then it sounds the few beeps again and then silence then beeps etc.

I could not believe it. I listened for the sound again and sure enough, it was my alarm reminding me of Sheri's wedding. I looked at Ryan and he gave me a look like 'you've got to be kidding' and quietly asked how long the alarm would go off. I had no idea. The sealer and Sheri and Paul didn't seem to hear it so we waited a few more beeps to see if it would shut itself off. After beeping 5 times, I grabbed my purse and ruffled though it to find the darn thing and mute it. A few clicks and alarm dings later, the planner was muted.

I thought over and over again if there was anything on my person that might cause any other commotion and couldn't think of anything else. I think twice was enough anyway.

I got teased a little bit for about 3 hours. But hey, I deserved it!
