10 hours, 7 minutes, and 15 seconds. But Whose Counting! (A New House Update)

Today is the day!

I am so excited!

    1. Thank you so much! It was a great day filled to an overflowing with blessings. We were so touched by the number of people from Ryan Homes and NVR who stopped by the closing table and who did so much for us during this very LONG process.

  2. I do not know why, but the idea of a person thinking up the plans to a house and then later getting that house built is really exciting to me. Thanks for sharing these photos, and also detailing how the house came together step by step. Overall, it is a gorgeous house. Good work!
