After working on getting into the Dallas Fire Department for a year, Charlie got hired on! He was very persistent, constantly staying in contact we the recruiter. I am so proud of him and the DFD is lucky to have him! His start date was October 6th. This was not the most convenient time since he was teaching but he had to do what he had to do. He gave his two weeks notice and actually one of our friends was hired on to take his teaching/coaching position. To show Charlie how proud I was of him and to celebrate his new career I threw him a little get-together! He enjoyed hanging out with family and his close friends, especially some of the coaches from McDonald that he will miss.
Of course I love any reason to throw a party! I made brisket, my mom made some sides and I bought the cute cake from a friend.
The cake was so adorable! It had a few dents after the little tumble it took in my car :(. 
These chalkboard thought bubbles are such a fun party item! I bought them on Etsy.
Us with our little fire dog, ha ha! I found this little K-9 costume at Ross and could not resist! I also got her a rubber fire hydrant toy, ha ha!
Playing some corn hole…
After every one left we got the best surprise of the night!
I was shocked when I turned around, ha ha! I am so happy for them, they are going to be great parents to their little girl!!
Everyone had a great night and it was a great way to celebrate this exciting transition in our lives!
Congrats Charlie!!
