The past few days have been nothing short of amazing. Thursday night Jon and Emily found out that Extreme Makeover Home Edition was in town, and not only that, they are only about 10 blocks from where we are. So cool! So we hopped on over and signed up to be volunteers and then went to the spectator area. They had closed the area because they were filming the demolition, but we ended up making friends with the security guard and he let us stand there and watch.

About 15 minutes into our time there he asked us to move closer to the fence, which we assumed was because of his boss. A minute later we hear a British accent and turn around to see Edward, one of the designers, and Ty Pennington himself walking by. They greeted us and were very friendly.



Early Saturday we went back to volunteer and spent most of the day standing around, however, we did get the official blue t-shirts. That made me happy. :) The designers Paige, Michael and Edward were all on set Saturday and it was fun to see the filming and work being done. About midday Jon and Daniel were able to be on set helping with the flooring and you could tell they were excited.

The best part of my day was talking to a woman from North Carolina who we had met the day before and telling her about the ministry here. She took my information and is considering bringing a team to work with us! God is good!

We gave I love N.O. shirts to a few of the security guards and we are working on getting a pink one to Paige as she is totally decked out in pink for each show. I think it would be so amazing to get her to wear it for the reveal on Wednesday!

Extreme Makeover, the New Orleans addition was a great show. As former New Orleanian (pre-Katrina) I tuned in. I usually don't watch these shows; I found it was uplifting.
