I'm freaking out in every way you can imagine!!!
I just got in from my BA CHEF meeting and was talking to Steve...
Ok...backtrack...you remember that I tried to take the jedis to the Royal Ambassadors (missions studies) at my church but it was too far away and too rowdy and too long, so I decided to take them to the RAs at the church down the street (CDTS) because it's a block away and not so long (still pretty rowdy.) That was at the beginning of the school year, right?
Fast forward to today...
Steve got a phonecall here at home...a recruiter for some company...don't remember the name but part of it was Midstream. He called the guy back and left a message on his machine, then went ahead and helped the jedis finish up their pinewood derby cars for the big race this evening.
So when Steve got to the pinewood derby race, the organizers set him in charge of checking people in. He checked a guy in with the same last name as the recruiter! Steve asked him "Hey, you don't happen to be related?" and the guy says "That's my brother! He'll be here in a few minutes!"
So the recruiter shows up and actually gets to know Steve at the pinewood derby race! They're going out for lunch tomorrow!!!
It's great, because now it's like Steve has a connection! All because several months ago I felt like it would be best if the jedis went to TCDTS!!
Personal contacts are ALWAYS terrific! Great news for Steve!
I can just see that 2J shimmy all the way over here in MA!!
I'm glad it was a 'freaking out' in a GOOD way! Wheee!
That's some good news, good luck to Steve.
