on july 6th we left for our hager family reunion at my in-laws "cabin" (it's 6000 square feet it's really more like a lodge). we were there for 10 days. it was fun spending time with family and getting all of the cousins together. the cabin is in the la sal mountains, and they are in the middle of nowhere. and because they are in the middle of nowhere we had no electricity, and no running water yet. they do have a generator which we used in the morning and at night before bed. and, they have a 1000 gallon water tank that all 20 of us had to share to shower, do dishes, flush toilets, and everything else that requires water. it took over an hour to refill the tank, and it had to be done at least once or twice a day. this is really roughing it for me. i am so not a camper, and really quite enjoy all my conveniences of home (or hotel rooms). anyway, i made it through all the dirt, another 4 wheeler accident (darrel was dumb enough to ride it and it rolled on it's side and broke his shoulder), infected spider bites in my armpit, seeing 2 huge bears, and a flat tire on our car to name a few things. i don't think i will ever spend 10 days in a row there again. for some reason i feel very claustrophobic in the mountains with all the trees and being so far away from civilization. last week i met darrel in los angeles and we went to the beach. it was the first time in a long time that i have felt that relaxed. i am definitely more of a beach girl!
