my schools sends out e-mails each time a student dies..

 and today, i got one.

i hate that. i hate that this young man died so young and didn't get to experience much. i hate the thought that his family is hurting so much right now.

i decided that although life is so hard this week, i am going to stop and feel grateful to be alive. i am going to feel grateful for what i have been blessed with, the gospel i know and love so much, and the people who i have been so lucky to know. specifically, these little ones. the kids who i picture when i am having a hard day and remember that i am their aunt... 

and that makes me feel so lucky.

i didn't forget little cody... he is the wild one on the jumper!
