So Proud of Will

He is taller than both me and Dave now.  He is definitely a teenager in every way (almost 15!).  And he is about to go to high school.  Will applied to two competitive private schools and several competitive magnet schools for high school this year.  We heard from both private schools and he was accepted at both (still waiting to hear from the magnet schools).  Not only was he accepted but he also got a partial scholarship to one of the schools because he scored so high on the admissions test.  We are really proud of Will because a lot of kids took a prep course for this admissions test and he did not (we did not know about the prep course in time). BUT he did prepare for a few weeks by doing the practice book and his hard work paid off.  God gave Will a fabulous mind and he uses it well.

As luck would have it, his first choice school was not the one offering the partial scholarship but we are going to let him go there anyway.  His best friend is going there too and it is reputed to be an awesome all boy college preparatory school.



P.S.  Just a little update on my 40 bags project.  I am plugging along slowly but surely.  I got 9 bags from the boys closets/drawers last week and we lugged them all to Goodwill. I think that puts me at 19 bags so I am behind but I am doing the best I can.  My low blood pressure/heart palpitation issue has been really hindering me a lot in my everyday life.  It is bad y'all.   I get out of breath simply standing up and walking across the room.  I cannot really lean over because my blood pressure plummets and my heart races. I see the cardiologist in a week and would love some prayer.
