Yard Update!

Today I received an email from "Casting" with the subject line of "America's Most Desperate Landscape." I was so excited/nervous to see what the email said. Was it a thanks for entering, but we've selected someone else email? Did they select us!? Did they need more information?? Well here is what it said:

Hi – my name is XXX from XXX. We produce the show Desperate Landscape for the DIY Network. Thank you for submitting the picture(s) of your yard to DIY's "America's Most Desperate Landscape!" We really like what you sent to our website, but we need to see more.

Please make a video of your yard and family. Make it as fun and creative as possible.

Send the video to: XXX

We also need you to fill out the short questionnaire and e-mail it back to us with a few more pictures of yourself, your front yard and your neighborhood. If host Jason Cameron and the Desperate Landscapes crew determines that it's one of the worst, you could be one of 4 finalists heading to the Today show! You'll compete for the right to have your front yard completely overhauled on DIY Network's Desperate Landscapes.We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. If you have any questions, email me.

Thanks, Casting Producer

Grant and I immediately called Tess to start a new video. We filmed at the Ponte Vedra Beach sign on A1A, the TPC Sawgrass sign, Mickler Beach and in our neighborhood. We edited the video and also filled out the questionnaire. Now we are bruning the video onto a DVD to mail off to the producer tomorrow! I am so excited!!

We'll definitely keep you posted if we get selected to be on the TODAY show!!
