Blessing...

While Rich worked on his Bachelors degree, we had to take a small loan out one semester. We tried really hard to get though school with no loans, but fell short one semester. I was going through the mail last night, and opened a letter from Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority. This is what it said... We are pleased to inform you that the remaining balance of your student loan listed in the table below has been forgiven as a way of thanking you for taking care of your loan obligation in a diligent manner. Within 2 to 3 weeks UHEAA will send a document indicating the paid in full status of the loan.

Don't you love it when unexpected things happen like this?!! I was so grateful for this letter, it really made my night. Do they send letters out like this all the time to people? Did we win a drawing? Or do they do this to everyone who pays their loans on time each month? What a huge blessing it is for us in our lives right now. The amount that we had left to pay was $425.64. I know that's not a huge sum of money, but nevertheless it's a burden lifted. Now his bachelors degree is completed paid off!! I feel like I need to send UHEAA a thankyou card.
