Bear Lake Bliss

I went up to the cabin in Bear Lake this weekend with my sistas and twin bro. It’s only a 2 ½ hour drive, bordering Utah and Idaho, and it was B L I S S.

I was at first a bit nervous about having Pneumonia and being an hour away from medical help if needed, but my faulty bod totally came through for me this weekend and didn’t act up more than turning asthmatic when the familia came in from a bonfire that night. (I, sadly, couldn’t make it, cuz you know smoke is one of the 57 things I’m allergic to, but ended up alright when I shooed them away from me to go groom themselves of the smell).

No hubby, no baby, just me, my book, and the beach – and lots of good company. I really think it was just what the doctor (and probably the froctor, too, no?) ordered.

I’m back to work today, just as soon as my ED doc faxes a note to my HR manager telling them I’m well enough after my week of bedrest. I should technically be there now, but was kindly (but under no uncertain terms) told that I’d have to leave without the note. So just waiting…hating my sun burnies (who knew 75 degree weather could have such an effect on olive skin?!) and thought I’d update ya’ll.

Here are a few pics of the trip, though my sisters took more on their cameras, so if there’s any fun ones they have that I don’t; I’ll totally yoink them from their blogs and put them here.

Missed you lovers!

Bretty and Brookie playing wiffle ball on el beacho.

I snapped this to look at to see if I was getting color. I decided I wasn't, and declined any sunscreen. Yeppers, t o t a l l y regretted that a few hours later...

Ang and Ambie tanning.

Ang's coolest tan line ever, that totally made me covet it, no kidding.

Me and my beautiful sissy Brookie.

Can you see my sunburn on my chest? It didn't picture very well, but feel bad for me anyway because it pains me so!

Just a picture of part of the beautiful cabin (thanks Ang for letting us come up!)

From left to right: my sis-in-law Angela, Brooke, Tawny, Misty, Amber, and me. They're all such frickin' posers! Brett isn't in the pic because he took it, but we missed my other sister Jan and our other sis-in-laws. Maybe next time we can get the whole clan together, which is, like, 58962 of us. Yay for fam! (And yay for blogging, hopefully I'll update it just a titch more regularly...)
