The buzz around town has been the taping of an episode locally. Joshua came home from school Monday asking to watch the news and the airing of the show because it is happening here in Toledo. So Tuesday I caught a glimpse of the news and all the hoopla tha happens when a city is on national t.v.. I just thought it was pretty cool. Then Brandon brought a letter home from the bus driver Tuesday afternoon asking for donations for Haiti. The Makeover team has set up a collection on-site for victims of the lates hurricanes in Haiti.
As, I continue reading it says that Brandon's bus passes by the house that is getting the make-over and Brandon's bus is going to stop by Wednesday after school with their donations! I thought it was a great idea for the kids to be a part of the donation process, as well as to see the t.v. show in the making!
So, Michael and I were in shock this house was so close to us. And started to get curious of where it might be. Behold! On our way to the "Y" for the first time as a family, we notice traffic stopping and controlled by a policeman. Then we noticed the camera crews and signs EVERYWHERE! Down the street the demolition was going on for this makeover! It was so cool to even catch that small glimpse of this life-changing television show. It is so good to see all the volunteers and people who are willing to lend that helping hand!

What fun to read your blog. I guess I'll have to come here more often to find out what's happenin' with you and the kids. I love that you are feeling loved and that you're having a fulfilling life in a more traditional setting! Keep the magic going.
Much love,
Mom
Wow, that's pretty cool! Living in Provo, I saw a few movies being taped (you know, those totally awesome LDS comedies?). But, I think you're experience if a little cooler. How fun for the kids to be involved in the fund-raising.
What a wonderful experience! I love that show because of the great things they do for so many that are truly in need. Also, happy to hear you are settling in nicely!!
sounds like fun. Our family won Oprah's big give in April and they redid our house and added on a room. I can understand a little of what you saw. That is so exciting. BTW congratulations on getting married! We are so happy for you
