Pray for Jeremy.

Hey, so let's ignore the fact that I haven't posted in forever, shall we? Thanks. Technically, my excuse is that I created a Word Press site to unveil my new event planning name and then I got stuck on the customizing and aesthetics, so it's all on hold. But, we're ignoring the large gap in time, right? Is anyone still here?

I'm writing today to ask all you praying folk to join me today in prayer for a dear friend. He's the worship leader at my church and has big plans to move to Nashville in a few months to pursue his music career. Well, on Sunday, he was admitted to the hospital after some major swelling in his face and neck led to the discovery of a very large mass in his chest.


You can visit a site with updates and such about Jeremy here.
Originally the doctors thought it was lymphoma, but the official biopsy diagnosis has revealed that it is actually a rare form of cancerous tumor, but that the hopes of recovery are very high.

As his father has said, "We received a diagnosis and it changed from the preliminary diagnosis! Jeremy has Mediastional Germ Cell Tumor Seminomatous, evidently a dormant tumor that has developed a life of it's own and is really big and malignant. The aggressive chemo starts tonight. The treatment cycle should end in about 4 months. The outlook for healing is very good with some dark, dangerous days and weeks ahead. We covet your prayers throughout this whole process. More details will be posted tomorrow."

A group of friends and members of my church are getting together at 1:30 (pacific) at the hospital to pray over Jeremy as he begins chemo. Please join me if you will. I believe in a God who is Mighty Healer and who has great plans for my friend. Thanks.

I apologize for posting this with no explanation - I meant to just publish the board to Polyvore for later use, but I guess it decided to publish it to my blog automatically. Anyway, this is a fun look I decided to create from items I've been loving over at Ruche (except the tights - they're from Anthropologie.) I'm so looking forward to cooler weather so I can wear fun ensembles with tights to work. We're getting close - I'm wearing boots today!

Friday fun.

Just a few links I've been wasting time with enjoying:

Hipster dress-up: I loved paper dolls as a kid, so what's not to love about creating your own hipster boys and dressing them in the hippest fashion? haha. I love how I've been able to create exact replicas of basically every one of my guy friends.

I'm working on plans for a retro formal cocktail party for my (and a friend's) birthday - I found an awesome playlist and bar signs from Formal Fringe.

My Buffy/Angel binge is about 95% complete now (I've finished Buffy and am in the last season and Angel) - here's a super helpful episode guide if you want to binge as well and like things in order.

I guess that's it for now - what fun links have you been enjoying lately?

Finally, after 50+ years...

Barbie and Ken have finally tied the knot. They've broken up, they've gotten back together, and now they're Mr. and Mrs. Want proof? Just look and see...

Photographer Beatrice de Guigne was lucky enough to shoot the classic couple's wedding. You can see more of it and read the details on her blog. She also shot some boudoir sessions with the lovely bride.

Haha, awesome, right? Actually, I was definitely more in the cool rather than crazy camp before I saw her more "artistic" boudoir shoot. Either way, they're some great photos that must have been a ton of work to pull off. What do you think of Barbie and Ken's wedding?
