Great chapter ending, new one forming

My husband, Darrin- loves to learn and he is quite good at it. Have you ever met someone or are the person who is naturally great at school. Of course, you work hard I know that but you pick up things fast and speak the text book language. Myself, not one, would love it but nope.. on the other hand Darrin is that person.
He bought some GMAT books at Barnes and Noble and after a few months decided he wanted to take the GMAT. We were both very nervous, not having a lot of study time while working and having some family time we decided after a short period it was time to for him to take the test. We were nervous because it is always best to get a good score and not have to redo the test, added pressure. The GMAT is a HUGE test, and a huge part of getting into MBA school. I never knew this but with the GMAT the test adapts to how well you are doing, it is crucial you start out well, and keep it up, crazy how smart tests are getting. 50% is Quantative (math) and 50% verbal.
We were shocked but he got a great score! (well he was shocked but I know how smart he is) We knew that an MBA program was now possible.
Everything started moving in place, we finally realize that all along certain things never happened and I believe it was an answer to our prayers. Darrin got accepted into BYU's MBA program for the fall of 2011! YEAH! It all happened so fast and was pretty unexpected. We are moving in 2 weeks which is a little quicker than we expected, but we will move into Darrin's parents house, thanks Greg and Penny, and we will get to house sit while they go on a mission.

I know sometimes I feel like prayers go unanswered (like finding a house) but now I know that is for a reason, God always has a reason even if it is by not answering back right away. Things always happen for a reason. Things are sliding into place and it makes me know that moving and all of these big changes are the right thing for our family. That is all I want, I want my family to be happy and loved.

Thanks everyone for all of your support.

    I'm sad you won't be able to come visit me now but I suppose that's okay. This seems to be the right thing for you guys. It's awesome that Darrin did so well.

Take care and let me know if I can do anything to help you guys with the move. The kids can come over and play while you pack or whatever you need.... :)
