News in threes

I've always been a firm believer that bad things come in threes. Maybe it's because I'm part Gypsy :) Either way, in the last week, I got hit by the three.

1. a kid I was in marching band with at ECHS was killed in a motorcycle accident in California over Valentine's weekend.
2. another kid I knew from ECHS [we had a lot of mutual friends and a few classes together] was burned pretty bad the other day on his face and hands.
3. my mom called tonight, and my grandma is in the hospital in Fort Wayne. she's never sick, and Sunday was her birthday :( she hasn't been eating, and when she does, she can't keep it down, so she's pretty dehydrated/weak. They're running some tests tomorrow, so I'll be heading over there to spend some time with her [and get some updates for my mom].

i did get some good news today: I'm getting a lot of money back from taxes... none of which i was planning on. Last year, I got $25. My dad told me not to spend it all in one place, because he thinks he's funny. This year, I'm getting around $1000, which is VERY unexpected. We knew something was up when our accountant called my dad to double check my account number for direct deposit. I'm thrilled :) I wish good news came in threes!

if you are the praying type, please keep my three in your prayers. I'd appreciate it a lot :)
