Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!
Have you ever heard of the Junior National Young Leader's Conference? No? Me either, until this past Monday that is. It was Monday we found out that our son Boo (6th grader) was nominated to attend this conference in Washington, D.C. for his academic and leadership skills. So we were shocked and proud of him. The downfall to this is that it happens to be right during when we will be moving and the cost is not cheap. It's $1800 just for the 6 day conference plus we have to get him to D.C. So now we have to decide if this is a must do once in a lifetime opportunity or not. Ugh! We're working on the scholarship route, so we'll see what that yields if anything.Then this morning we wake up to an email saying that Boo has been accepted into the Private school in AL where we applied for him. So this was great news BUT also involves making a decision. We don't know yet for sure where we will be living. It will be in one of 2 areas but if housing is not available in the first one, he won't need to go to private school. So they want us to pay for the June-Oct tuition to hold his spot even though we won't be arriving until the end of Oct and won't know where we're living until then. That's about $2500 and we won't get it refunded if we live in the other area and he doesn't attend this school....sigh.
This is the downfall to moving....all the decisions we have to make...which really aren't ours to make yet because we don't have enough information to make them with!

Hi! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I use Calms Forte, too, but I never thought to give it to my son because I just thought he would like the taste of the teething tablets better. I'm definitely stocking up on Hylands products before we leave! Our longest flight is 17 hours (boo!).
Hi Laurie! So happy you are moving back to 'Bama. I cannot wait to hear all your tales.
Many private schools are heavily endowed and have scholarships for academically and financially qualified families.
My best to you!
