September 6th and 7th me and my family went to the site where Extreme Makeover Home Edition was filming and building a new home for a deserving family. I have never seen anything quite like it! There were so many people in the area, not only to observe like myself, but all those you see in blue shirts volunteering their time and skills to help build a home in less than a week. On Saturday the 6th, we arrived and the floor was just beginning to be put down. Before leaving the first wall was being put up, and the second was just being lifted to be put up. During the first day we were able to see John Littlefield and Eduardo Xol. I got my picture taken with both of them, as well as getting their autographs on the back of a shirt I had bought. Heather wasn't quick enough to get John's autograph, but she did manage to get a picture with Eduardo. When we got back to the site on Sunday we couldn't believe what we saw. The whole house was up, painters were inside painting the walls, windows were being put in, and they were getting ready to start putting stones on the outside of the house. The second day were were also able to see Paige Hemmis, although she didn't have enough time to stop and sign any autographs or have pictures taken. Ed Sanders was also there but we never spotted him. Heather and I really wanted to see him though! Ty was also around part of the time, but the days we were there, he was in another city doing the next door knock. So sad! Overall it was a great time though! It's one thing to watch the show and know that a house had been built in such a short amount of time, but to actually see part of the process puts it's in perspective. It was amazing to watch and see. There are so many people out there who are still kind, and willing to give of themselves so that others may have more. It's an experience I will never forget!
