EHM REVEAL!

I am on the couch curled up with my fave blanket and now all I need is a SB salted caramel hot chocolate. For the update on the reveal...

We were traveling down a road that is just steps from our house. I am in the midst of telling my husband a story about work and he says "wait". I ask him what and he says, "there's TY"! He is sitting in the car I photographed him in last week. Now I feel like paparazzi. We turned around and saw him with his assistant or sidekick I don't know which taking his (Ty's) picture standing by a 1970 Barricuda that is for sale in someone's yard. We turned around and Josh got a not-so-good pic of Ty kinda bent down in the vehicle. I really felt like crazy paparazzi at that point. Shortly after, they pulled away. Josh and I headed over to the site. We had a so-so spot. After all, we weren't planning on waiting all day to get a special spot. We hadn't been there long when a guy from the show came near where we were standing and announced that they needed to film some crowd shots in the VIP section. We would be moved there and then moved back later when the rest of the VIP's showed up. We took our chances and went. Our spot was right behind the Grys family.

They did several camera passes of us saying "move that bus", "Jake", and cheering. They edit all of those crowd shots in later to when the family arrives. It doesn't happen exactly as you see it on TV. In fact, almost nothing happens the way you see on TV. When the family arrives, all cameras are on them and their reaction. Also, it takes FOREVER for them to move the bus for the family. Furniture was still arriving for the LONG time that we stood there. They were throwing hats and stuff to the crowd. CVS brought all of these envelopes with gift cards in them which they threw to the crowd. We got 3 of them!

Here is a pic of the finished house at the first spot we were standing...

From our new spot, I got some pretty nice pics I think. There was a lady standing on a chair the entire time which was annoying to everyone. You will probably see her in many pics.

This pic is of Didiayer Snyder and Michael Moloney...

We had quite a long time to wait as they were still waiting for some furniture to be brought and delivered.

This is a pic showing the long camera that they were using to film the crowd as well as the front of the house. I just love the little tree with the red-orange leaves. It just looks so cute and perfect.

The next picture shows the bus and the actual limo the family was brought home in...I say that because they had a fake family for some camera shots earlier.
Right before they brought the family back, Ty & Jake's therapist, Angie filmed a piece that you can see in the following pic. Angie is the one that originally nominated the family.

Since most of the rest of the pics are self explanatory, I will post the rest of them. You will see the family, Ty, Ed (wearing a stocking cap), Rib (drinking coffee), Didiayer, Michael as well as the family marching up the walkway to their new home. They film the tour of the house where the family goes through tomorrow. As they say on the show, "Welcome Home Grys Family"!!
