Priceless:

Unknown.

Today I received a letter from the University of Utah Financial Aid Office. They finally processed my FAFSA. The above is how they calculated my expenses. They also determined how much they estimate my first year of schooling to cost. READY FOR IT?

$ 21274.00

Somehow they determined that my family would contribute $17933.00 dollars and I would only contribute $19.00. It is pretty crazy.

Yet as I look at these numbers, I am excited and nervous. I can't wait to find out what will be worth the $ 21274.00; what my "Priceless" will be. I am very nervous that I won't be able to come up with that large sum. I have a couple of scholarships but nothing that is even near that amount. We are racking our brains of how we will do this.

I just know…..I'm definitely going to pay my tithing!!
