Well, Lane and I have decided to take advantage of my cousin April just having moved here and her willingness to come and stay with our kiddos while we get away. Having no family here has made it hard to do that very often. While I do have awesome friends who are always willing to help me out, it is still hard to get away for more than a couple days. April is still single and seems to LOVE my kids and they LOVE her right back, so I feel happy that they will all be having a good time. Not to say that she may be in for a shock when it comes down to taking over with all the running around I do with them. Anyway, Lane and I have been envisioning a road trip to visit many of our Usana associates in other states who need a little more help and training. Some hard work now, will set us up for some great residual income to be enjoyed later....that's the idea here. We are having a great time building this business and the friendships that we are making are truly the biggest benefit so far.
Let's see how well Lane and I do being together 24/7 for TWO WEEKS!! yikes, this could be scary girls....I may have to get up and post in the middle of the night and have some venting blogs....no, seriously, doing this together has really brought us closer and we are learning things about each other we never knew.
So, we are off to California, Vegas, Southern Utah, Northern Utah, Idaho and everywhere in between, so if you know of any great restaurants, free hotels or great sights to see that we may not know about...feel free to pass them along.
The weather is awesome here in AZ, so I realize we may be headed into cold country again. I better start digging around for something besides flip flops huh?
One more thing...I would like some opinions of what would be a fair pay to April. I have no idea. She will be driving our car and I will have the kitchen stocked with food, so she won't have those expenses. Mariah went to CA with a family on vacation last year to be "the nanny" and they paid her $400 for one week! Yikes...that is insane I think, but then again, they are loaded and they have babies to tend. So, Mariah, in her logical way, said she thought I should pay April $600-800.....WRONGO!!
Not that she isn't worth it, but c'mom...
So, any estimates would be helpful just so I have a rough idea.

Oh, come visit if you have time. Not sure about the pay. We always have my mother in law stay with our kids. But we pay the dog sitter who stays at our house about $100 a week. Don't think that's comparable but that's all I've got.
it seems to me you should have discussed it with her ahead of time. (maybe you did) ie. give me an idea of what it would be worth to you? so you have a ballpark figure. usually it's like $50 per day i think but in your case since you are gone for so long i would think around $500 total.
I actually did discuss it with her and she said she didn't want ANY money...said she had nothing else to do anyway and was excited about it. I told her we would pay her, and she said, well then make sure it is very minimal if you think you need to do that. she's great huh?
Ok Tara - I am Lane's cousin Sara's cousin Lisa. I totally remember you from forever ago. My mom Brenda is Sandra's sister. Do you remember??? It is such a small world. I remember when you guys were in that accident!
Actually, Sara is Lane's niece. Sorry.
I have no idea what you should pay her. I don't have any experience in that arena. Have fun on your trip! Will you send me more info on the detox? ie. how much does it cost? What does it entail? I don't think I'll do it for awhile since I just finished the one. Could I also get info for my mom on vitamins? Thanks!
