Hi, my name is Ryan Pratt. I am multitasking millennial who typically blogs about digital marketing, social media, technology and movies. But I've been too busy over the past 6 months to do much writing. On top of getting
married to the love of my life in May of 2014, we also officially started the new home building process with Ryan Homes on April 3rd (
Day 1):
Since that day, I've come to realize that blogging about your new build process with Ryan Homes is "a thing that people do." There are actually a lot of great blogs out there:
Just Google "Ryan Homes blog" and you'll find a bunch more -- including at least one for every style of home in every state that they build.
Unfortunately, with so much "stuff" going on at once, I don't have time to create an entire blog dedicated to the process like the those mentioned above, but I did want to create at least one blog post that I'd update occasionally with new photos from our Venice style home. This is that post:
On April 8th, we picked out our carpet, tile, wood floors, countertops and cabinets (

By June 28th, they broke ground and started digging our hole (
