The Job

Just to let everyone know, Mike had his meeting/review with the district manager yesterday. He gave him a couple of store options he could become sales manager in. They were Layton, Cedar City, and St. George. All had it's advantages and disadvantages but when it came down to it, the best move would be to St. George. That is for many reasons. First, it is the busiest store in the district, (I believe top 10 in the region, if not in the whole country) yet it's sales numbers are not too good. Mike would have to opportunity to increase the sales and kind of "shine" for the company if you will. Ken (the D.M.) also said the store would look amazing on his resume and once there for a couple of years (assuming he helped the store) set him up for becoming a General Manager or a transfer to almost anywhere (even outside of Utah, yea!). Also, a move to St. George would be a significance raise in salary than any where else in Utah (not that that matters in the least :) Staying here would have been okay, but we have come to realize that towns with less than 20,000 people are far too small for us. Going to walmart 4 times a day and Del Taco for dinner just doesnt cut it anymore. St. George isnt much bigger, but atleast there is a Costco and a Bajio's...I'm happy about that. Layton would have been fun to be close to mom and dad but it's the lowest ranked store in the district, and wouldnt do much for Mike as far as his job goes. So the time line is probably as follows: the next 3 weeks or so, Mike will be finishing up his training in St. George, when he will then have his official interview. Hopefully all will go well, and then we will be moving to St. George in a month or so. On a different note, my ultrasound appointment is set up for the 13th of June, so that will be the day we find out if it's a boy or girl. Kind of exciting.
