Daily e-Update

Standing here, I just knew we were going to have a magical week, I underestimated how magical

 

 

This was staged but a great picture of Dan to illustrate how much stuff he had going on at any given time.  He was the quiet leader behind the scenes making sure everything worked 

 

 

This was also taken at 2:00 AM - shows the round the clock effort being put into the Williams' new home

 

 

I have worked with Dan for almost six years, I hope I never go that long again before discovering how hard working and talented a co-worker is.  The Daily Updates were the highlight of my day.

 

 

This picture just made me real proud to work for Palm Harbor and Nationwide Homes. Setting the home in an afternoon is just how we roll

 

 

Colleen Rogers  says she isn't in sales.   Yet she asked every person who came to view the site for money.  And used a paint bucket to collect it.   $10,000 in cash, one dollar at a time. 

 

 

 

This picture shows how this whole event worked - volunteers working around the clock.  Here they formed a chain and loaded the Williams' belongings into the house in minutes.

 

I've never been a part of something so big that we hired a video helicopter. 

 

The amount of emotion in this one picture is hard to capture on purpose.  I got lucky.  But it makes me really appreciate the job the editors of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition do at capturing the emotion in every show.

 

I quit counting but this was probably the 50th time Robert Williams and his family told us thank you.  The truth is, we owe the Williams family a thank you, we were the ones that were blessed by this event.

 

I don't have words to describe this one showing Jacob reaching up to hug Andy thanking him for the new home

 

This one shows Robert logging the 100,000 dollar we raised.  Yes, that's right, we hit out goal!!!!

 

Welcome Home Jeremy and Jennifer

In case you weren't counting, that was more than ten pictures - I got carried away but I refuse to delete anything from this week.

 

Thanks for everything
