Hello, My Name is The Grim Reaper

It occurs to me that I only post when something bad happens. Let's keep that going. A kid who graduated from CHS the year after I did died this morning. His mom teaches 6th grade at CHS. He was sleeping at a friend's house and was having difficulty breathing around 3am. His friend calmed him down and then Colin (that's his name) seemed fine, so they didn't see the need to take him to the hospital. When his friend went in to wake him up around 6am, Colin was dead. They think he had some kind of genetic heart problem, as his dad has struggled with heart problems for a long time. He was only 25 and there are still a handful of kids at school who knew him through Starbucks (where he worked) and some from church.

I wasn't close with him, but I have some friends that were, so if you could just be praying, that would be great.

I feel like I should write something happier...OOOOOH! I got it!

My little sister is getting MARRIED! His name is Josiah Carden and they're getting married April 25, 2009. Here are pictures! Sorry for the general schizophrenic issues with this post. Love you girls!
