Realizing How Much I Didn't Know

  Have you ever had a project so big, that the only way to process it, is to write it all down? I think that is the exact feeling that brought me to creating this blog. I mean, I have never planned a wedding, but I have seen the wedding planning notebooks, and am aware that you can pay people to plan it for you. This may or may not be similar, but I feel like I have my hands full with what just might be the project of my life. I consider myself a type-A, well educated individual, yet every single day I am realizing just how much I have to learn to get my dream home built.
  I am truly just getting started on this journey. My hope is that I can share this experience and spare someone a headache or a heartache as you learn from my mistakes and missteps. Perhaps my type-A research might save someone some time. If nothing else, sympathy is always welcomed.
 My dream of building my home began years ago.  Since the initial purchase of my starter house, I have been thinking of my ideal environment. I bought software to help design my dreams as I doubted I would find a perfect fit using plans available on the internet. Over the years, spare time in front of the television and several hours into the night have been spent, creating and re-creating, and updating to get all that is in my head out.
  The time is here. I am running out of time for dreaming and I am ready to realize my dream instead. This is mostly happening real-time. This is not a memoir of how things happened successfully! Instead, this is the actual journey with lots of lessons to be shared along the way.

It's me.  Nice to meet you.
