Extreme Home Makeover


If anyone watches Extreme Home Makeover you saw the Stockdale family from Middleton, ID tonight. Middleton is about 20 miles from us. It was a huge deal this summer when ABC came and gave the Stockdale family a new home. We were going to go to the site and try and be a part of the action, but that turned out to be the week that Rex had his seizures so we obviously had other things on our mind. It was fun to watch it tonight after having heard so much about it ever since it happened. The interesting thing is, the builder who did it is the same builder who built our home. It's kind of the joke in the neighborhood that we hope he built their home better than ours!! ;) No, our home is great, he just is such a mass builder that he cut a few corners and a lot of little things have had to be fixed in lots of our neighbor's homes. We have been lucky and haven't had many problems and we love our home! Anyway, fun time, and such a deserving family.

I think it should be noted, we are very happy with our home, and really the only corner that was cut was our front yard, and maybe the gutters. Other than that, we are thrilled and love our home. (I just had to say that as I don't want anyone to think us ungrateful)

That was such a good episode! What a tearjerker. They seemed like a great family.
It was fun seeing your mom over Thanksgiving and she was very kind to us as always. We got to all go see the movie at the Herrett Center and had a lot of fun. It sounds like you guys had a nice Thanksgiving, too.

Hey Mark, Troy Preslar here. I just watched Extreme Makeover and I thought that the family had to be LDS, so I thought that I would try to find out on the trusty old web. I typed in "Extreme Makeover Stockdale family Mormon" and your blog was the first thing that came up in Google. How about that. I hope all is well with your family we are hanging in there. Always good to see you even if it is only on the computer.
