Extreme Home Makeover


































We recently had the chance to help out some great friends (Glen and Melissa Cruson -Top Lawn) of ours who were working on the Extreme Home Maker in our area. Melissa and I carried flats and flats of flowers out to the house for Glen and his guys to plant (18 flats in my car to be exact:)). Once I got out there I was AMAZED.....as wonderful as the show is, I saw a very different side than I have ever seen on TV. For the most part I believed it was the cast that did so much of the work on the house....reality....it was the MANY MANY amazing volunteers that gave their time, energy and resources 24/7 in the EXTREMELY hot Texas sun for someone many of them had never met. What an example of compassion and selflessness. I am so thankful that my children and I had the opportunity to see this side of the show we love to watch.
