Can't even believe it!

Brian and I are SO blessed.

It was a little nerve racking knowing that once I had Sophie I wasn't going to work {or not even close to as much} and that we would have half the income. But, all I have to say now is that we have been so blessed.

For starters Brian and I both got some grant money to help pay for our school! That was a blessing! But now here comes the even more amazing part.... Yesterday I came home and got the mail. There was something from Weber State, one of those letters that has the tabs on the side you rip off... the kind of letter that looks like a check. So, I tore it open. A check for Brian for $1200. WHAT!? I didn't know what to think at first. There had to be some mistake. The check said it was a grant reinbursement but WSU had already given us our grant money? I called Brian and told him. He was just as confused and excited as I was. We decided that we would cash the check but not spend it yet. Just in case it was some sort of mistake and WSU mysteriously got into our account and took it back.

Then I got thinking. Maybe I should get online and look at Brian's WSU account. Of course since I was anxious and wanting the internet at my house to work it wouldn't! {probably should be our next investment.} So I called Brian at work and told him to look up his account. He called back a few mins later saying that he had been awarded the SMART grant and we didn't even know it! The SMART grant is for senior students we are working on specific science degrees and have good grades! Yay the check is ours for real! They aren't going to steal it back! I can actually be excited about it now! I am so proud of Brian and his hard work at school!  What a blessing!
