Bigger...and badder :)

Today we found out about Charlie's job prospect...he was just starting to feel stressed about the whole waiting process--especially because they assured him he would know by the beginning of the week. We were walking the dog, and his phone rang... I said a prayer, gave it to God, and in the end, this one wasn't it.

The boss directly called him to thank him personally. Charlie made it through on a fabulous resume, two rounds of interviews, and was in the top two candidates. There is a bigger plan for him and our family, and it doesn't include this particular job. Charlie is so talented, and part of me felt that it doesn't seem fair, that HE deserves it...but another part of me, the wiser part of me, knows that something bigger--and badder--is in store for him. :)

Here's some things I DO know...

Charlie is the most caring person I have ever known. And he always means it.
He wears his heart on his sleeve and his smile will melt the problems of the world away.
He's dang cute and super cool :)
He dreams big and rises to the challenge of a bumpy path in life...when I've seen many people give up.

Love you, Charlie.
