Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Extreme Makeover Home Edition has come to Idaho to give one deserving family a complete makeover of their home. Who would have ever thought that little Middleton, Idaho would have the opportunity to have such an awesome experience as this. The family is a young couple, both 26, and they have four kids that all have the same rare disease where the children are not able to digest their food properly. Sheena and I were in Middleton having dinner with her family Saturday night so we decided we would swing by and check things out. They have the whole street blocked off and we had to park and walk about 1/4 to 1/2 a mile to the house. It's just amazing to me how quickly they have put the house up. They demolished the old house on Friday and this is what it looked like Saturday evening around
8:30 p.m. It looks like it's going to be a pretty nice house, aren't they always, and you can't see it from the picture, but the house actually extends farther back. It would be so exciting to be there next week when the family comes home to see their new house, unfortunately it's right in the middle of work. However, I won't miss being in the huge crowd which I'm sure will be there. A friend told me that they will start bussing people to the spectator section at 9 a.m. And since things like this don't happen very often in Idaho, especially in Middleton, I can only imagine that the crowd will be quite large.
