Today it seems hard to believe that months ago I felt at an all time low. Today it seems that I have more blessings than I can count and that they just keep growing.
Months ago I applied for a promotion that I was well qualified for. I was disappointed when the position was filled without any applicants having even been given the chance to interview. I was annoyed at having to train my new boss.
Months ago I applied for BYU to complete my degree. I figured that I would be accepted quite easily considering that I was accepted at BYUH, which is much harder to get into. I was heartbroken the day that I received my rejection letter.
Months ago I was devestated because my last baby was not ready to join our family. We tried for half a year to get pregnant and each month only brought new tears.
But the Lord has a plan for us and loves us. He is watching out for us and we have to be patient during the trying times.
When I learned that I was pregnant I was so happy I cried again. Only this time they were tears of complete joy. A month later we learned that we were having twins and as Matt says, "It is like Christmas for VeeAnn all over again". The timing, though not what I had wanted is absolutely perfect. Brooklyn should be three before the babies are born and the girls will be enjoying summer when their new siblings arrive.
Monday I was offered the promotion of a lifetime. One that I did not apply for, nor did I have to interview for. I started training yesterday and both Matt and I feel that this, although again, not something I would have pursued, is absolutely perfect for our family. I know that Heavenly Father arranged this new career and there is no doubt in my mind that He is watching over our family. I will now be working on the CRM Marketing Operations team and could not be more excited.
Thank goodness I was denied from BYU. Again, the Lord knew what he was doing. There is no way I could be finishing school while pregnant with two babies, beginning a new marketing career!
I am so happy. I have a loving husband who has been my best friend through all of the hardest months of the past year and who has been my biggest supporter during the happy times as well. I have the most amazing daughters and I know that these two little ones will fit in perfectly. Reagan already decided that, "if they are boys we will do our best to teach them to be calm and not crazy like all boys are. We will be good examples." Here's to crossing our fingers that the specialist is able to take a peek at gender during our appointment later today!

It's all about timing isn't it? It's so hard when we don't get what we think we want... but Heavenly Father can see the bigger picture! Thanks for sharing!
oh my heck! you made me cry! that was so sweet and heartfelt it brought tears to my eyes. we love you guys and wish you all the best on your new adventures! i can't wait to meet your new little babies!!
Hard to understand sometimes why things don't work out, but later things do turn out, and thank heavens Heavenly Father doesn't alway give us what we want, but not easy to understand at the time it is happening.
