HERE WE GO.

I can not begin to tell you my life in the past few weeks. I mean come on. The word stress doesn't begin to describe it. If you say overwhelmed, you're getting a little warmer. If you were to combine those two words and their meanings and make a word... that word, whatever it might be... even closer. But still not quite there.

I have ALWAYS been a very very goal oriented person. I see something I want, I say "I'm gonna get it" and I work until I do exactly that. This past weekend, I reached a goal I have been working for about two and a half years now. I have worked at Beaches Tanning Center since November of 2009. I started as a sales girl at American Fork Beaches. Since I very first started at Beaches I idolized the American Fork manager. I wanted to be her. She was a woman in a position of power and I wanted that. So I set a goal. Eventually, no matter how long it took, as long as I was employed by Beaches my goal would be to Manage American Fork. I wanted to be a manager for Beaches. And I wanted to manage one of their largest locations. So I cracked down on sales, excelled all my expected averages, and it paid off; Six months later, I was promoted and moved to manage Beaches smallest location at the time... North Orem. This was just the beginning. I managed there until I moved out of Utah to Cali at the beginning of 2011. I found a job at a tanning salon in San Diego, started as a sales girl, was promoted after 2 weeks there, and managed there until July 2011 when I moved back to Orem. When I came back to Orem, Beaches offered me a position as manager at a larger location, South Orem. I have LOVED working at South Orem. I have put a lot of hard work into that salon, I love my employees and I feel lucky to have been able to manage them. We have worked wonderfully as a team and have accomplished SO much! I am happy that my assistant manager Rebecca Morris, (*shout out!*) is stepping up and taking over that salon, she will be amazing. The reason she is stepping up?? Cause I'm moving out, and moving up.... This past Saturday afternoon I was offered the position to manage Beaches Tanning Center American Fork! I feel so privileged and so blessed to be where I am. It's gonna be a lot of work, but I can't wait to get started and put all I have into that salon and my new employees. 

I love my job. I love my employees at South Orem. And I love this opportunity that I have been given to improve as an individual employee as well as grow as a part of a new sales team. Looking forward to the challenge and the new experiences this is gonna bring! Last day at South Orem, February 29th, and first day back at American Fork, March 1st. Here we gooooo.

Thanks orem family of friends for the surprise treat this past Sunday, (the day after i found out.).... even though i couldn't tell anyone else yet, you guys were wonderful for secretly celebrating with me :)

Tayler Myers you are the sweeeeeetest for making this for me.

Short of this new and exciting change of employment scenery, I have not too much to report. Today, I am 3 weeks from the return of Elder Rose. Ummmm.... yeah I can't even talk about it. I am going nuts. I am also considering flunking out of school and just working at Beaches Tanning Center for the rest of my life. I don't know if that's healthy, or normal, to love your job that much. Eh. Oh well. Who gives. I am just in a state of shock, and totally engulfed in the exciting change that's going on right now. Eventually I'll snap back to reality. But for now, I am gonna just go ahead and soak up the euphoria that is my life. Shout out to my girl Wesley Bird for giving me a good saying to bask in the ambiance of for these next couple weeks.... Do you have this in a shirt? Can I have it if so? PLEASE.

BOOM... roasted.

I feel so blessed. I am so happy. And I am feeling so extremely excited for the BIG changes and exciting things coming up in my life! Yay for change!.... scary... but good. Oh-so good.

xoxo,

randi.
