A Ryan Homes Venice for our Duo

In the middle of it all...

We like to do things big, I suppose! I am just decompressing from the month of May!
Some highlights of May:
Started construction, our twins turned 6 yrs old, my husband celebrated a birthday, my mom celebrated a birthday, mothers day, family birthday party for twins, friend birthday party for twins, school birthday party for twins, a ballet recital complete with technical and dress rehearsals, karate, tap, jazz, countless t ball games, basketball, gymnastics, and a 4 day hospital stay for my husband complete with shuffling off kids.

Oh, and somewhere in the middle of it all we put our entire life's belongings into storage, closed on our house of eight years, moved in with my mother, and enjoyed he excitement of watching someone else begin construction on our new home!

Selections, Selections, OH MY!!!

Overall, I will say that this process has been pretty simple. Ryan has their system down, and it certainly works for them, at least. Their systematic approach to selections is certainly why they are able to keep home building within the affordable range for thousands of buyers each year.

Truthfully, I kind of liked being given only a few choices of colors, materials, etc...

I do wish that we were given a little more information up front so that I could do my "research" at thinking at home first before showing up at the selection center. I did have a small idea, mainly becuase of the snooping around on these blogs that I took the time to do, but that was it. I did go back a few times to make a few changes, however.

Here are some samples and pics of what we chose:
