After reading many nominations, many of which brought us to tears, we voted and decided on Barbara Brown. Her husband, David Brown, wrote us a letter explaining how he and Barbara have been married since 2008 and have gone through many unexpected hardships. These hardships include blending two families together (which included six children), starting up a business, having a new baby, and then unfortunately and unexpectedly, having three of their children move back with their natural mother up north, where they will not get to see them nearly as often. David wrote, “Our entire relationship has been about the children and we need to get back to us; she needs to be healed from a lot of heartache and disappointments. She deserves far more than any award or reward I can provide. Only God can prepare something so special to equate her efforts. But I really think this is just what she needs to get back on track to taking care of herself.” When I asked him if Barbara would be able to get away for her services so we could make her over, he said, "You just tell me when and where she needs to be, and I'll get some help to make it happen. She needs this." What a great husband!
After meeting Barbara and getting to know more about her life and circumstances, we were amazed by her selflessness and her constant love and service to others. Not only are we thrilled to have met Barbara, Megan K. and team have also been blessed to get to know the vendors who have generously given of their time and services to give Barbara some much-needed and well-deserved time for herself. Our "Glam Squad" has been able to help transform Barbara and enhance her beauty inside and out, and we are thrilled to be a part of this experience.
Barbara is currently receiving Zerona treatments from Dr. Shawna Hogan at East Hill Chiropractic. Zerona is a non-invasive, fat removal laser that can shed inches from a woman’s waist, thighs and hips much faster than normal. Along with aesthetic services by Mary Anne and staff at Still Waters Medical Spa (my favorite in Pensacola!), Barbara will get a new "do" and nail services from Cortney and her team at Pensacola's premier boutique salon, STYLE Downtown. John Dye, the Make-up Guy, will work his magic and we're sure to hear, "Baby's a star." (Megan K. brides love John Dye too!)
Barbara has a great sense of style and will be decked out in a trendy new outfit and handbag, compliments of The Linen Corner (which also has great Christmas gifts!) and a fabulous pair of designer shoes and custom jewelry provided by Mary and the gals at Pumps Boutique (you must go by and check out all of the new boots!)
And how will you get to see Barbara post makeover? Pensacola's very own favorite photographer, Patsy Brown, will be there to take pictures of Barbara’s amazing transformation and you can check them out on our blog next week. We can't wait for you to see! Even more exciting, all of our fans are invited to come support Barbara and our vendors when we reveal the "new" Barbara at the Fish House Deck (yes, the tent is up and heated) this Sunday, December 12, 2010, right before the premiere of the Extreme Home Makeover episode featuring the new home and family here in Pensacola. The party starts at 6:00 p.m., Barbara will be "revealed" at 6:45 p.m., and the premiere show starts at 7:00 p.m. There will be three big-screen TVs in addition to the Atlas and Fish House TVs premiering the show. So come out this Sunday at 6 p.m. and support this wonderful woman, the Pensacola family, and the generous volunteers and vendors who made all of this happen right here in Pensacola! Questions?

Warmly,
Katie
