Here we go!

So today is Sunday.   I am spending it with my family while I go over final logistics for season 2 of Bar Rescue.  I am so excited to get started on the renovations! I am taking a couple days before the season officially starts to pay my respects to the show that gave me my break… Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

I will be volunteering in San Antonio, TX and as I mentioned  before – if you get to the house keep your eye out for me – I may be volunteering right beside you. EMHE has so much real estate in my heart. I can’t believe that the final episode of the series has aired.  The team that drove it across the finish line are some of the most talented and dedicated in the business.  Ty, Paulie, Tracy, Michael, and Paige  and the whole team of incredible designers guided us through the renovations every Sunday night.  But there is the massive team of unsung heroes that made it all possible with the help of thousands of volunteers- the design producers and art world!  To this day I have never met a harder working group of people in my life.  The hours they stayed up and the tasks they tackled will shock and awe me all my days.  From living room to kitchen, pirates room to beauty salon, from alien/Lion King room to stunt room no theme was immune. Big D, Justin, Brandon, Kevin M., Sean, Todd, Brian, Jim B., John B., Di, Emily, Steve, Clip, Sinead, Karin, Maggie, Margaret, Michele, Liz, Jeanette, Marissa, Nicole, Chris, Jacque, Courtney, Vanessa, Brian, Kim, Jinnie, Melissa, Ann, Susan, Sass, Pat, Mike, Ben, Brad, Chris R., Paul Z., Dave H., Alicia, Matt, Chad, Hallie, Dessie, Sarah, Les, Rich, Jen, Stacey, Annie, Aaron, Melissa F., Dee and Shelby, Lisa, Shelly, Eddie, Michael, Dana, Brandon, Joe, Brenda, Lisa, Kate, Dawn, Terri, Phyllis, Cindy, Kevin, Mike D., Curtis, Roxane, Nellie, Scott, Kit, Mary, Lisa, and the list would go on for 100 blogs…..

Thank you for teaching me so much more about teamwork then I ever should have learned on a TV show. Stay tuned for my notes on the San Antonio build.
