1/Addy (finally) gets an internship

Taking it from the top- I took FOREVER to get my internship. My mom was scared, I was scared, I am sure Haley Blakeman was so scared that well whatever. I got my internship, finally, in Dallas TX at LandDesign. I have family that lives 30 minutes out in two different directions, so as a girl who had moved really really far for college (20 min) it was comforting to know I had support if I needed it. When I got the offer letter, I was super eager and said "Hey, this is fantastic, I'll be there in three days." and It was the most chaotic and anxiety inducing time of my life. I stayed with my aunt in Desert, TX and tried to familiarize myself with the area as much and as quickly as possible. This is a picture of my office! It has a Starbucks attached to the back of it which is of course, sooo fantastic for my bank account, and a beautiful mall right behind it - again, lovely for the bank account. 
The building is new for the company and super nice. It's three stories and has a not so secret speakeasy at the bottom with beer on tap and free snacks galore. Its paradise I swear. They're painting murals on the wall probably as we speak and the whole place is a nice green color. They LOVE green. I should've known from the looks of their website. LandDesign - you can take a look but please don't steal my job...I just got it.

Blog #4 - Jalen Winburn Hello everyone, As of lately, the work has picked up a bit as a few of our projects are coming close to closing, which means getting final deliverables and documents finished before the upcoming deadlines. Last week I was working a bit more on the mixed-use development project, doing more SketchUp and Enscape work. The model is almost entirely finished, which has been really sweet to work on from start to finish and see come to life. I am currently working on another flythrough video of the model that will get sent out to the city later in the week. I also spent some time putting an entire neighborhood development into AutoCAD, which has been really interesting as I've been learning about plats, outlots, parcels, property easements, and development phases, which all come together to make a neighborhood. Next weekend is our company-wide get-together, which is in the Minneapolis office, which is nice, so I don't have to travel too far. However, this means ...
