Curtis surprised me and took me up into the Uintah mountains to a place called Bear River Lodge. There are individual cabins that you stay in. There was a fishing pond that was stocked with fish, 4-wheeling, and definately in this environment lots of rest and relaxation. you are totally up in the mountains away from everything. Let's just say we sure needed the vacation! We hiked down to the river to fish and realized we forgot the camera, ugh! Well neither of us wanted to go back up, and boy am I sorry because we caught a TON of fish. Every time Curt would help get the hook out of my fish and I would cast again there would be another fish on. Let's just say Curt didn't get in as much fishing time, but he was so happy I was having fun. I could never understand why Curt loved fly fishing so much until I was actually catching fish! It is a lot of fun. We rented a 4-wheeler after fishing and we went on a 4 hour ride through the mountains. There was a point in the trail where it can go 2 ways- steep or the normal trail. For me I am thinking of being pregnant and I say, "Curt we better take the normal trail", of course we don't and he takes the steep. All the while he is reassuring me that it will be fine. I can't even describe how STEEP the ride was! I know there were times where I felt like I had to hold on for dear life on the back of the machine or I would fall right off. The 4-wheeler was climbing over rocks and bumps that were making me nervous and my stomach was feeling tight, so I told Curt in my dramatic, pregnant, hormonal state, that I was getting off and walking! That only lasted so long because trying to hike in that terrain was more impossible. So there I was crying and telling myself I was stupid for going on that ride and being irresponsible for this little life inside of me. I quick said a little prayer that we would get back safely and everything would be o.k. Then I felt much more relaxed and not so tense. I started to figure out how to maneuver myself, so that when Curt was driving over all the rocks, and inclines I didn't feel the shock so bad. Once we were on the main trail back to the cabin I felt so relieved and we thorughly enjoyed the rest of the ride. I can only imagine the pressure Curt felt as the driver with me on the back, thanks honey for being such a patient man! We had such a relaxing time the rest of the weekend. Oh, just a side note, my children stayed with Lesley and Isaac and they said they had the best weekend ever and we asked if they missed us, Kemp said "nope, not at all", Cami said "nope" and Kerstyn said she cried for me when she was tired, it is so good to know our children were in such good hands, Thanks Sis (and bro-in-law)!I know this is a lengthy entry, but this is also kind of a little journal for our family, so thanks for being patient in reading!
