Ok, so I think I am long overdue in posting here. You guys all know my husband pretty well, CPT1911, but I have been (as he’s categorized) only a lurker here. Well, here’s my first post, about a successful open!! (My third, if we’re bragging, but my first TRUE open with witnesses and where I didn’t ask Trevor for TONS of clarification, ie. “is W3 24?” “no” “is it 46?” etc.) He was stone and gave me NO help!
About a week before Christmas, as I was walking by the tree, I noticed something new underneath…I big red safe. As I read the gift tag, I thought “Oh, fuck! Christmas homework” I didn’t want to look like a dumbo on Christmas Day with the whole family staring at me as the hours ticked by and they waited for me to finally open my present. I knew I needed to start a bit before the real day.
I started that night, 12/17. With the conversations that I had been having with Trevor at the time, it seemed that he had been having the most luck with trying AWR, instead of AWL (which was what I had tried before) so I decided to try his way.
I graphed AWR and saw a two big drops; one at 43ish and one at 90ish. I amplified and found that I had something concrete at 90 and again at 42.5. I thought I was far enough along to wait for the big day, so I put my graph away and ignored my deep down desire to peek inside…I knew if I got two numbers and only had to BF the last one that I would open it while he was at work one day and the surprise would be ruined!
Here's my graph and amplification:

(Left Contact Point)
Christmas ended up not going exactly to plan…our 5 month old got a really bad case of brochialitis and ended up in the hospital for the entire holiday. She is fine and healthy now, but Trevor and I decided to do our Christmas together in the hospital room without the family, since I didn’t want to leave her.
And so the big moment came on Christmas Eve. I sat back down with the safe and my original graph (and a belly full of butterflies). I was desperate to know what was in there!!
I started with what I thought was a SMART Guy move….I did some test combos looking for a low using both of the drops I had seen to see if I could get two wheels at once and really show Trevor what a manipulation badass I was…didn’t work. The test was completely inconclusive.
Here's what I tried: 90-42.5-42.5; 42.5-90-42.5; 42.5-42.5-90
So then I tried a traditional high low test using 90 as a suspected gate, and BAM! Wheel two was for reals 90!!
So now I went back to my drop at 42.5. I assumed 42.5 was wheel three and I was off to the brute force races. By the time I got to 15-42.5-90, I had decided I must have been wrong and was about to go back to the drawing board, but Trevor finally gave me some help in saying “keep going!” And so I suffered through until 22, and then I had that wonderful click when I spun it round….and I was in!!!
