Do y'all know Jane over at Dissecting Jane? If you don't know her, I highly recommend you head over to her page and check it out (but not before I tell you what you're praying about).
If you do know Jane, then you probably know about her sister, Lo. Lo has cystic fibrosis. Today is her birthday. In 5 days, on July 5th, Lo will have a kidney transplant. Jane's and Lo's dad is the donor. For Lo's birthday, Jane has asked that all who read her blog mention this on their blogs and cover Lo and her father in prayer.
I think it's a simple request, and I firmly believe in the power of prayer. So, today I'm praying for Lo and her dad in honor of her birthday. And I'll be praying up until the surgery and after for God's healing and power to give Lo a second chance at life.
I hope you'll pray, too. And if you haven't already, I also hope you'll go over and say hello to Jane

Weird Wedding Dreams (Nightmares)
Yes, I've been MIA again, but I think that's just becoming my norm, so let's just go with it, shall we?
Last night, I had a weird wedding dream. Well, some might call it a dream, but my OCD/Type A personality calls it a nightmare. The ultimate nightmare. And it's not the first one I've had about the wedding.
This time, we were in a weird church- not my church where we are getting married- and nobody was there. It was time to start, 5:00, and the church was literally about 1/3 of the way full. Nothing was going right. For some reason I was sitting on the steps at the front of the church with my bridesmaids and the ceremony wasn't going on. We were just sitting there. The florist was still bringing in flowers, people were milling around, and to top it off, one of the few people that were there mentioned that half of our invitations said the ceremony was at 6:00. Which could explain why the church was only 1/3 full at 5:00! And, to make matters worse, there was a teeny bopper band singing random songs that had nothing to do with a wedding.
Bizarre.
And that's not the first time I've had one of these "nightmares." I have also dreamed that 200 people showed up to the rehearsal dinner expecting to be fed, that we didn't have a ceremony order the day prior to the wedding, that we didn't know how many people were coming because I didn't ask for RSVPs (I know people do this, but not me- no way!), and other random things, all of which send me into panic mode. It makes me wake up and think, "Hmm, what am I forgetting?" I think I have it all down- in fact, I'm sure I do, but these dreams make me crazy!
Did any of you have crazy dreams before your wedding where everything seemed to go wrong? I'm sure I'll have more as the big day approaches!

Slacker
I'm a slacker, what can I say? Well, obviously, I don't have much to say since I haven't blogged in a while.
We did, however, get our engagement pictures back from one of my friends.
Here is my favorite unconventional shot:

I think I am going to have that one put on a canvas that I have a Shutterfly Groupon for.
And here's the one we will use for our engagement announcement (I think- if not, it will be similar).
And in other news. The GAMECOCKS ARE BACK HOME IN OMAHA!! The defending national champions are ready to make a run at a back-to-back championship after sweeping both the Regional and Super Regional. If we win it all, we'll make history as the last team to win an NC in Rosenblatt Stadium (the old site of the College World Series) and the first team to win in the new Ameritrade stadium. Sure hoping we put it in the books!
