So it has been over a year since I posted anything. Things are pretty much the same here. I have had a very busy year with work and have now trained to work with 5 home builders. I started with Gehan Homes, and then learned the system for Perry Homes and Castle Rock Homes. Just this last April I started training at Scott Felder Homes and Ryland Homes. I am now able to float between these builders and help out when things get busy and fill in when the design consultants go on vacation. Next week I will be learning one more. Highland Homes. I hope my brain can handle it. I have caught on pretty quickly, but actually doing the appointments has been a little scary. You always get asked some very specific question that if I had been consistently working for the one home builder for several months I might know. But jumping in there, I am sure to make a mistake or not have an answer. The best policy is to never BS your way through it. You will get caught with your foot in your mouth at some point. I try to be honest with the home buyers and let them know I am helping out and do not know. All in all I am very happy to be learning so much. I think it will make me very valuable to the company. Currently things are very slow for me so I am a little worried. I like to stay busy enough that the time during the day goes by quickly. That is not happening this week.

As far as the rest of my life is going, not much has changed. I am going to be an Aunt at the end of August. I couldn't be more excited. It is just a little bittersweet though, because I will not get to meet my niece or nephew until Christmas time when Alison and Scott are coming home for a visit. Thank goodness for Skype.

I hope to blog again soon. I would like to try to make it a little bit more of a regular habit.
