Extreme Makeover Home Edition - Day 6

Friday marked Day 6 of the Extreme Makeover House.... And listen to this - my mom went without me!!!!!! How dare her? And it was probably the best day of all!! She had to go way down south of town for a work meeting, and on her way home stopped off at the house. So I wasn't with her. And what happened? Well, she saw TWO designers and one of them she actually got to meet and talk to him!!! Do you see the progress on the house? My favorite is the copper gutters!

And here is the designer John Littlefield! And this is the builder Kevin Green! He's been the brains behind three local Extreme Makeover's!
While Mom was standing at the fence, she met two lovely ladies named Jennifer and Connie. Jennifer was there with her three children. Together the whole group thought that the keys would switch hands from Kevin Green to the designers and that furniture would get unloaded soon. The flatbed trailers holding all the rugs and couches was just up the street, so it was just a waiting game. After two hours, the trucks weren't pulling up. The three kids were starting to get anxious to head home, but Jennifer was sure something would happen soon.

And boy was she right... Jennifer's daughter soon noticed the newest designer emerge from the food tent. She yelled out to him, "RIB!!!!!!" He noticed her yelling and crossed the street to come meet her! He stood at the fence and talked to her for a few moment, as well as talking to my mom, Connie and Jennifer! Jennifer's camera batteries had died, so my mom offered to take photos for her. Only later did she realize that she didn't get of herself with Rib! But she wasn't too disapointed though, because those three kids were so excited to meet Rib. The daughter, my mom didn't learn her name, couldn't wait to get home and get the email with the photos so she could print them off. She couldn't wait to brag to her friends of her famous new friend!!
And Rib was so sweet, not only did he talk to her and take a photo with her, but he signed her shirt. My mom was very impressed with Rib and his attitude. (and I think she said something about his very muscular arms, too!)
Connie and her children were so excited and thankful that my mom was with them to take photos, they bought her one of the t-shirts the builder was selling to raise money to pay off the Gilyeat's mortgage.

On the shuttle ride back to the cars, my mom met another family with children who wanted to see my mom's photos from meeting Rib. My mom said that meeting all these people at the house that day was such a blessing from God. And even though I wasn't with her or she didn't get her photo with Rib, meeting these wonderful people made it all seem like her best day out there. The entire show has been set up to help make better communities, and she felt she made some wonderful friends this day!
