Season Finale: Here's to the Heroes | Paige's Extreme Makeover Blog | 5/18/2008
This week was all about heroes - in every sense of the word. From the firefighters and rescue workers who worked tirelessly after Katrina hit, to those moms, dads and grandmothers who returned home to help rebuild a destroyed land. Our show was a tribute and thank you to these heroes, and heroes everywhere who change our lives, never rest even when times are tough, who aim so high despite danger, and who ultimately allow freedom to survive simply by "doing." For the final show of the season, and to finish off our 50 state tour, we ended up in the great state of Louisiana. New Orleans is the home of jazz and many great musicians of our time, and also home of one of the most devastating natural disasters in our country. As so many people fled the area when Katrina hit, there were so many heroes that stayed back and stepped up when others needed them. One such family was the Usea family, who lost so much during the storm. Instead of focusing on their loss, however, they continued... read more
The Giunta Family | Paige's Extreme Makeover Blog | 5/10/2008
Life is precious. Life can change in an instant and it did for this familytwo years ago. The story of the Giunta family this week hit me so hardwhile we were there just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and now it hitsme again as I reflect on this family. It is a story of hope, of faith, ofloyalty and a story of life - changing in an instant.Last week, in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA, I was involved in a seriouscar accident. A drunk driver hit my friend's car in which I was apassenger. I was trapped in the car and had to be removed with some prettyheavy machinery. My friend was ok, and I, thankfully, was not harmed toobadly. I had to spend some time in the hospital. I have two fractured ribs,a broken wrist, and bruises everywhere. I was extremely lucky. Noteveryone who gets in a car accident this bad is able to walk away and PaulGiunta is a perfect example of this. Two years ago, on the day that Paul'swife, Renee, gave birth to their first daughter, Paul was driving their twoboys... read more
The Martinez Family | Paige's Extreme Makeover Blog | 4/23/2008
Brrrr! Hard to think of below-freezing temperatures now that spring has sprung, but back in winter when we visited the Martinez family in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it was cold! I set down my coffee one day on my way into the framed house to do a "walk through" for the camera. I was gone probably 45 minutes, and when I came back to my coffee, it was frozen!It was a solid block of coffee! So that may give you an idea of how hard it was to build a house in seven days in such chilly temps. Ty, Michael, Paul, Ed and I packed on the heavy jackets and headed out to meet the Martinez family. Being around this family is like being in the presence of love and devotion. This family loves their community, and is devoted to one another and the people that surround them. This might not seem like a unique quality, until you realize that the community that they love is one of hardship and strife. This family was living in the mountains of Colorado and just a few years ago, decided to give up... read more
The Gilyeat Family | Paige's Extreme Makeover Blog | 2/8/2008
Vroooooom! This week was FAST! And not just "fast" in the sense thatthe week went smoothly, but "fast" in the literal sense of the word. I gotto drive FAST! Ty, Eduardo, Johnny, Rib and I headed out to Kansas City, Kansas for thefirst time in our show's history. We've been to Kansas City before, butit has always been in Missouri. Although it was our first time on theKansas side, it was our third time with our famous builder, Kevin Green. Now, Kevin and his team really know how to do it right, from lavish partiesto tractor-trailers with Kevin's picture 20 feet high! Knowing we were inhis hands made us truly enjoy our week. We surprised the Gilyeat family — Daniel Gilyeat and his four youngchildren. Daniel is a hero in every sense of the word. He is a greatdad, and made a huge sacrifice for our country when he fought in the war. Unfortunately that fight left him with only one leg — his HUMVEE was hitby an IED during combat. You think that an injury like this might stop... read more
The Luther Family | Paige's Extreme Makeover Blog | 1/19/2008
When you think of Maryland, what comes to mind? The seashore? The naval base? The port? That is what came to mind when I pictured Maryland — what I didn't expect to find was rolling hills and horse farms… thousands and thousands of acres of farms! It was so unexpected and so gorgeous! Ty, Eduardo, Ed, Rib and I looked out the windows of the bus over never-ending rolling hills, bridges, scenic waterways and beautiful farms. We knew it was going to be a great week.We surprised the Luther family, and quickly got them on their way to vacation. The Luther family runs a therapeutic horse-riding facility called Rolling Hills. They have touched so many people's lives, and we got the opportunity to meet some of these courageous people. From young children to adults, ranging in disabilities from debilitating diseases to spinal cord injuries, we got the chance to see how the simple act of riding a horse can help in unimaginable ways. We learned so much — how riding a horse... read more
