The House!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

The next few posts you will read are all about my trip to Port Orchard, Washington, helping a local family who deserved a new home! Their old home was filled with toxic mold when a contractor started a job, then took off with the $. The house got so bad, they had to move out and were staying in a local hotel. One of the daughter's applied 2 times and got turned down both times by ABC. She then contacted Sweet Alice (a woman in CA who got a EM home) and asked how can she make her family more known to ABC. The girl followed Sweet Alice's advice and contacted her local mayor and city officials, ask them to apply for her as well. Well, as you can see, they finally got ABC's attention.

OK, so I am still getting the hang of this blogging thing. I totally forgot that when you keep adding posts the previous posts scroll down. Oh well, I wanted to put these pictures in order of when they happened but it is backwards. Woops!

Anyway, there you see the house. I love this shot. So serene. The family has gone inside to see the house. All the spectators are leaving, and it is just quiet and peaceful. The sun is almost set.... just a few colors and clouds remain.

I am so excited to watch the show tomorrow night. Then, on Monday afternoon I was asked to come be in the audience of our local TV show, Northwest Afternoon (3pm live, on ABC). The Kirkwood family will be on the show, and they wanted to fill the audience with as many volunteers as possible.
