A blessing in disguise!

We are attempting to send our kids to St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School, which is also where Chris went, his parents went, and most of the Weber family has gone. He has a first cousin who teaches there and cousins currently enrolled in it. As I know this is going to be a huge financial burden on our family to be able to afford it, we have made our decision. I constantly go over and over in my head how we can make these payments without hurting our family finances too much. Then I started trying to figure out how I will ever be able to afford to send three kids through private high school which is rediculously expensive. I started talking to a co-worker who is also a minister at Willott Christian Church, which also has a school Willott Christian Academy. I was talking to him about my fears of being able to afford these expenses. He began telling me that there are several government grants that help families pay for private schools! Wow, I had no idea! I started doing a little research and have come across quite a few of them. So now I am going to be learning how to apply for these grants and should begin another hysterical chapter of my life as I'm not a very creative person at all. I have also discovered that most kids will get some type of scholarship to most private high schools. This is great! A wife of one of the guys Chris works with coaches basketball at one of the private high schools and we keep hearing how much they want Adriana because of her height! Maybe my kids heights will help pay off some of their high school bills! Anyway, this helped to comfort a lot of my fears of my financial future!
