Quick Update & A Few Pictures
When I went to see to the community back in the begining of June our street looked like this
So my assumption was that when I came back in mid July there would be a road there!
...Not the case. In fact the street still looks exactly like this. Apparently, it's been raining like everyday so they haven't been able to pave the road which is putting us slightly behind schedule. Initially we were told construction would start mid to late August. Now its the begining of September. Hope the ran stops so we can start making some progress.
Other news...I found a picture of our actual kitchen cabinets on another blog. Ryan just started offering these cabinets and I hadn't seen a picture of them in an actual Ryan home until now. The same blog also had a picture of the exact combination we chose for out bathroom. I feel much better having seen them now. I like them a lot!

Houzz.Com
Bored...thought I'd write another post. Another new obsession: http://www.houzz.com/. I think I have read every Ryan blog known to man and stalked every possible picture of my kitchen cabinets soooo now it's time to stalk furniture and decorations!!!!!!!!!!! Love houzz. Not sure how I didn't know this existed prior. If anyone has not been on this website..you can pretty much search any design idea and it will bring up thousands of pictures to look at and get ideas from. Perfect way to waste hours of your life.
But since this is a Ryan Homes blog it always comes back to Ryan. I haven't heard much from my SR. I've sent her a few emails but she says she doesn't get them. I believe we are supposed to start building next month so I hope she will be more responsive once things get started. So far she has not impressed me....and also she calls me "hun" and I believe we are pretty close in age. Can't stand that...

Obsessed w/ Ryan Home Blog Spots
When I was pregnant I watched every single baby show known to man and now that we are building a house I'm obsessed with Ryan Home blogs. Seriously getting out of hand. I'm getting my MBA online and I also do most of my work for my job on a computer....but lately whenever I even touch a computer before I know it I'm on a Ryan Home blog spot. I actually hide my screen from my husband because I'm tired of his judging eyes. He thinks I have a problem. He's probably right.
The bad thing (besides not getting any work done for school or my job) is everytime I see someone elses house/kitchen/etc I'm look ooo that looks nice. Why didnt I do that??? ...Maybe I should submit a change request. And I have yet to see a kitchen like mine that I have really loved. It's driving me crazy. Like most first time home owners I just want everything to be perfect.
That said, this is our starter house and we are purchasing it primarily as an investment. 5 years from now we plan to move into our forever home. My husband picked out a lot of things in the home we have being built (kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and a lot of upgrades). The next house is all mine <evil laugh>
