I just want to mention that this is such a positive community experience. Every volunteer I spoke with really cared for this family (they have two special needs children). What an amazing example of what it means to have a servant's heart. Did I mention I love this show? Moving on.
Warning!! Lots of pictures to follow, but I thought you guys would enjoy!! So here goes...
There were signs everywhere....
Members of the design team came out to say hello. The guy in blue shirt is the one with an accent....
The house and the crowd....
More of the house. I LOVE the colors, the columns, the stone, there were even beautiful stained glass windows....
The local school, where the family's daughter attends, paraded down the streets with signs and balloons. This is where I started crying...
These kids were SO excited....
Designer Paige, complete with her pink tool belt...
Oh, you may know this guy, he came over to personally say Hi to me. Well, ok, maybe not but still. He was CLOSE....
The family pulls up in their limo....
Ty talking to the family before the big reveal....
Welcome home Martinez family!!!!
I tried to MOVE THAT BUS. It wouldn't budge. No need to focus on my god-given (ugh) hips, but check out the weird bendiness my finger is up to!! What is with that? It's like some sort of elf-finger or something.
Tomorrow, a fun gift wrapping project, and an AWARD from one of my favorite bloggers...ever!!!
Come back and see me!
