For those of you that don't know the story, my cousin, who was my age (28), died of leukemia in August, leaving behind a husband & 3 very little boys.
Her story...
www.annmarievitale.com

Well, Johnny- her husband, my aunt Janet & Uncle Ray got a knock on the door today by Ty Pennington from abc's Extreme Makeover Home Edition...
THEY WON an EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER!!!!!!!!!!

I am shaking & still in shock!!!
Through this horrible tragedy, comes something good.

PS- I've known about this for a while now, but couldn't say a word. I was dying to tell all of you!!!!!

ETA- On Friday, I'll be having an 'Extreme Massage Team' at the site & massaging all the hard workers!!!!
(Hope Ty wants one)

My sympathies go out to your family. Always remember, God works in mysterious ways. He as a reason, a cause.

I'm an advid watcher of this show and I will be setting my sites on the upcoming shows to watch.

God bless your family!

Is allure doing the work? They did my parents bathroom and my parents couldn't be happier they love everything.

I read this and thought 'why would Alexandria be doing the work?' I'm guessing allure is a well known contractor on LI!

I had to think about htat for a second too

I am so happy for your family, my heart really goes out to them. My husband graduated hs with your cousin, AnnMarie. I remember hearing their story and it broke my heart. I am so glad that they are able to get something like this. Best of luck to them!

So where is the house? St. James or Levittown?

This is amazing news! I am so happy for your family
If I weren't stuck in bed everyday, I would be volunteering to help you massage the workers. I am truly sorry I am unable to volunteer.

Hi Ladies ...Just got back from Day 2...
It was amazing just to be there, but kind of a slow day. When I arrived, they had just finished taping them having a snowball fight in the backyard (Hey, how 'bout doing some work on the house???)

~EVERYONE thought I WAS or resembled Paige!!! (The crew, the onlookers, it was funny) (Maybe b/c I had a pink coat on). It was her B-day today, so they got her a cake & one of the neighbors made her one as well. She seems pretty nice.
~Didn't get to meet TY today, he was busy when I was there.
~Michael talked for a bit, while he was eating a green bagel w/ green cream cheese (went really well w/ his glowing white teeth!!! )
~The Alure guys re really, really nice.
Got some information on what they're doing w/ the house, & found out some other cool little surprises, but you all will have to wait until it airs to find out! (Hey, some of you met Ty & I didn't even yet, so I can have my things too )hehe.
~I took a few crappy pics, I'll post them in a bit, but honestly, it was all about seeing my family today.
~I'll be there all day tomorrow, so I will hopefully give a Day 3 recap tomorrow night.
