Today the Lord blessed Miri with such a fun gift! Her favorite show is Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Though she is often sad when she listens to the hardship these families endure- she is always excited to see the joy they experience when they see their new home! Miri especially loves to see how the girls rooms are decorated :). That said...

Miri's Uncle John is one of Ty's drivers this season. Uncle John knows how much Miri loves the show- so he made a few calls and arranged for Miri and I to sneak behind the scenes of a build going on in Lexington, NC! I got the call at about 12:45 today and we were out the door within 30 minutes in hopes to make it in time for Miri to be able to meet some of her favorite designers. I decided to tell her that we were going on a 'little trip' and that was all :). She had no clue until we parked and she saw someone wearing 'the blue shirt'! We were ushered in via security and were asked to wait in a little food trailer while a certain someone was soon to be ready for a picture. We waited about 15 seconds and we were asked to follow. Miri was soooo excited when out walked Ty Pennington! We got a few pictures and talked about Miri's Uncle John then Ty had to leave.

We then were given passes to walk around- so we decided to go on a 'Designer Hunt'. We walked around and found them all! Again- Miri was so excited! Yes- I was excited too :). We also were told that the singer Jewel and her husband Ty Murray were the celebrities there that week. We were able to watch a shoot of them arriving. Fun fun!

It was a wonderful few hours. God truly blessed my little girl!
