[chrissid7]

Oh My Gosh guys we are back and had the most amazing week of our lives! I have to say 1st that I had every intention of posting pics right away, well our little makeoker is now going to be a national thing. I cannot tell you how amazing things have been. Every single room, every stitch of flooring just everything got a make over and our little town and our families are super awsome!!! Our local news sold the story to cnn. Her is the link to our local channels that covered it

www.wric.com see link "surprise home makeover for Mechanicsville family"

www.wtvr.com see link "who needs ty pennington"

Warning have tissues handy.

NOTICE THE SHIRTS LOL!!!! I MADE THEM WEAR THEM, they had no idea why just thought I was being weird.

Everything in out house is new so all of our belongings are in 3 large PODS in our yard waiting to be unpacked. whew its been a whirlwind.

Ill be posting lots of pics as soon as I find all of my cables.

 

[yinyanggirls]

OH MY GOSH!!! Seriously, a tear jerker! Your community is so awesome! Alyssa is such a sweetheart and it was fun to "meet" your whole family, finally.
I couldn't read the shirts, but I could tell you were matching. You'll have to make sure and post pics of those, with the before and afters of the house and everything else!!!

 

[jessica52877]

Wow! That was a wonderful video and you are right have the tissues ready! What a great community. I agree, it was wonderful to "meet" you and your family!

 

[twinmum]

WOW!!! I just loved those video's. What a wonderful community, and such a deserving little girl and family.

Since our son's Wish trip last year, I've spent less and less time on the DIS, but came back on recently as it looks like we're going back in February. I hadn't read Alyssa's story and with no school today (!!!) I settled in to read your story. I'm so glad I did.

Our son has cerebral palsy and some other medical issues. I won't go into details now, but it's been a tough year, nothing to dire medically (although all us having H1N1 was certainly not fun!), but just a long, tough slog, with many reminders of the challenges our son and family face.

I needed a pick me up this morning, and thanks to Alyssa and your family, I received it!!!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
Alison
