In addition to Friday Family Movie Night, we also watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as a family on Sunday nights. It is by far the best show on television (Yeah ABC) and I’m looking forward to the airing of the episode that will feature my friend Kim and her family! THEY WERE CHOSEN!!!
I waited and waited this morning, hoping my phone would ring before I had to shut it off when I got to church. I prayed. I told several of my friends that I was waiting to hear if the Woodhouses had been chosen or not. After services I went outside and turned my phone back on and had a message from Kim’s best friend letting me know the bus had arrived this morning! I laughed and cried and jumped up and down a bit, then told my friends who were still hanging around. I was am so excited! I want to know a thousand little details that I don’t have yet. Obviously Kim’s going to be unavailable for awhile, so we’re trusting her friends and family to keep all of us locals apprised of the plans for the build and the reveal so we can be there in the crowd to scream, “MOVE THAT BUS!”
Thank you to all who prayed and are going to continue to pray for the Woodhouses throughout this process. This is a HUGE blessing and I couldn’t be more excited for them! This sweet family is such a gift to so many people and I’m just thrilled to know that some of their dreams are coming true. Personally, I’m praying for healing for Kayla as well. I hate the thought of her living with these medical conditions her whole life and I want God to heal her young body! He just provided a new home and numerous other miracles for their family and I know He can heal her too, so I’m asking for it.
I’ll let everyone know when the reveal is and when the show will air as soon as I know!
I was writing because I too was axiously awaiting that phone call this morning. Praise the Lord. I just happened to be online looking to see if there was anything posted about it. Kim told me that I should be able to find something online. I am in Alaska and sure wish that I could be there to help you yell. Are you a friend from church. I didn’t see a place on your page where it stated who you were. Well, all I can as is that you yell loud enough for me as well. Great to see things are going well for them.

Hi Leah!
I met Kim through a writer’s group last Spring. We’ve only been able to spend a little time together since then. I live in Denver and she’s in Colorado Springs a little over an hour away. My kids and I drove down there to spend the afternoon with them and we played at Focus on the Family – one of the only places Kayla can play safely. Focus turns down the temp in the basement where Whit’s End is so that Kayla can enjoy what they have to offer. We also enjoyed Chinese food together. 😉
Scroll down two posts to read what I wrote about them a few days ago. I’m going to keep blogging about them as I get information. I’m hoping to find out more details today. I hope you’ll stop back here again!

I am so glad Kim and her family were chosen. Another prayer answered. Keep us informed as to when they will have this on tv so I can go somewhere where they have that channel. I would like to see this.
It is great to have family traditions. You are making wonderful memories.

Niki, I said I bookmarked your page and I was glad I did. My Bud enjoys Ty Pennington and Extreme Makeover. He was happy to see the pictures you took as I hurried to read your text to him. Thanks for sharing and know that my son will be using his High School megaphone to yell, “Good morning, Woodhouses Family!!!”
