A lot has happened since we've last posted so I will try to catch you up with pictures. I had to drive out to PS a few weeks ago to drop off one of our installment checks. I believe it was a Monday. At that point, it appeared they had just finished pouring the concrete and laid the foundations! This was pretty exciting since it was really the first tangible evidence that a house - our house! - was being built on top of what formerly had been a promising pile of dirt! I took some photos:
I returned with my wife only a few days later to find the house had been more or less completely framed, with 4 walls and that "siding stuff" that says "Ryan Homes" all over it!

One week later, and this is how things look:

| PD likes the look of his future bedroom! |
 |
| Back yard |
 |
| "Those stairs look scary, mom" |
 |
| Living room (aka study and library) and dinning room area |
 |
| Soon-to-be kitchen |
 |
| Our fireplace! |

And now we just got word that they are ready to schedule our pre-drywall meeting so things are happening very fast. In fact so fast that we didn't even have time to update this blog!
Welcome! This blog is meant to be a compilation of random thoughts, stream of consciousness-style reflections, and otherwise pseudo-intellectual musings on what I find fascinating about this adventure called life. I am a passionate nature lover and wilderness wanderer. I earned a bachelors of science degree in conservation biology from George Mason University in January, 2009. This blog is dedicated to a search for the truth amidst the vast wasteland of discredited ideas and relativistic thinking that has insidiously infected so much of the postmodern intellectual and ethical foundations of Western thought and practice- - with a commitment to follow the truth, wherever it leads.
Looking big and beautiful!! I love the above ground basement....
