The Day Before.

I know I promised the wedding post would be the next up, but as I looked over my pictures, I felt a need to first post about the day before.

But very first I must mention that on Monday of this week, my little sis Jana told us that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is much in my thoughts and prayers the past few days.

Please keep her in your prayers as well. She is soon to start chemo and is gearing up for all the nasty-but-oh-so-beneficial stuff that comes along with it. Love you, Jana Sue!

The Friday before Lex's wedding Lolo went through the temple. It was such a blessing that all my children could be there (minus Mar, who stayed home to babysit Wonderful Sweet Scarlett, and Austin, out of town on business). I am once again filled with gratitude at the sacrifices and efforts that were made by dear family members to share this special experience with Shi.

After lunch in the temple cafeteria, we all headed back to Grandma and Grandpa G's to
work on wedding projects,

practice,

entertain Scarlett + some mommy-zoning,

prepare necessary meals (the wedge salad has been the rage since improvising them while at the Barn over Spring Break),

label jars, assist with homework,

chillax and eat,

and flower arrange.

Yes, we are a full service organization.

A huge thank you to my sister Jill, who made the long drive from CA by herself to support and help (I owe you!), and to my amazing family members who pitched in to make Lex and Jason's big day wonderful for them. You are the best.

Wedding post up next, I promise.

Prayers for J. J.
