EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME ADDITION

Yesterday my neighbor Becky and I had the opportunity to go and watch them film Extreme Makeover. It was about 40 minutes from our house. Becky's husband Nate was one of the plumbers for the house. So we got VIP tickets to go and watch. Well that meant that we got to sit in a tent with air condition in it. We we got there and it was close to 100 degrees and the air condition in the tent was broken. Owell we still had fun!!
Anyway, the house was for the Marshall family. Carlton Marshall was a Dallas Swat officer. He was serving a warrant and was shot in the neck. He was paralyzed and lost his hearing. If you want to read more of their story you can go here: http://extremecheldan.com/family.html.
It was extremely hot yesterday with very little shade for people to stand in. We kept debating on weather to leave or not because it did take a long time. We got there at 11 and left at 5. Remember it was 105 degrees yesterday also!!!! We ended up staying until they MOVED THE BUS and then we headed for the car. It really was an awesome thing to watch live. ESPECIALLY A CHANCE TO SEE TY!!! :)
When we first got there Ty was working in the new barn with the horses. The Marshall's volunteer at TROT. Therapeutic Rehabilitation of Texas. They designed this whole barn just so they could host sessions at their house.


Oh ya baby!!!!!
