Careers & Internships



This is where I work; at Landmark Homes as a Sales Associate. I have always loved looking at Showhomes growing up with my mom and in my spare time, I look up different floor plans that I like. I didn’t feel qualified for this job when I applied for it but I was called in for a couple interviews and was asked to join the company! I was so excited to learn more about the home industry and to get some sales experience. I also was quite proud of myself for getting this job all on my own; without the help of Lyle (who usually finds work for me) or any other sort of networking. I did it all on my own. I was partnered up with an awesome Area Sales Manager and fell in love with the job! The hours are different because the Showhomes need to be open when most people aren’t working but its given me time to work out and do other things in the morning before work and I don’t drive during rush hour which is AWESOME!
This is where Austin is doing his internship. I actually did my internship at the same place so Mr. Lyle Tomie has really helped both of us finish our schooling! The company brings people up from Mexico to Canada to work since there are many jobs available up here. The timing right now is a little unfortunate due to the outbreak of the Swine Flu, but Austin has done really well at this company and has been able to be involved in quite a bit. The best part of it all?? He will be graduated in August!! YEAH!! It is such a great feeling knowing that we will both be done school early on in our marriage. Once he is done we’re trying to plan a vacation to celebrate our graduations! Any suggestions???

I feel left out...

So... I’m not too sure what I’m doing starting a blog, but I began to feel left out with all the people that had one. I was never fond of the idea of having my own blog but I loved reading my friends blogs and sometimes creeping on other blogs of people I may not have known. I’m going to try it out even though I think mine and Austin’s lives are not too exciting right now. A lot of my friends started a blog after they got married and Austin and I have been married for over a year now so that's old news. Then I noticed friends starting a blog after they had a baby. Well, Austin and I are not in that category either so we’ll see how this goes. Wish me luck!!!
