Birthdays and Camping

I didn't write anything about Travis on his birthday because I was too busy spending time with him. Travis and I went camping with some friends of ours for the long weekend and had an awesome time. It was my first camping trip without parents! It was really fun camping as newlyweds. We went to Cataract Creek, south of Banff and Peter Lougheed Park. Since it was mostly boys there we went for bike rides, hikes, and Geo-caching. And, since it was mostly boys, our fires were usually over our heads and spilling over the tiny fire pit. Check our flickr site for pictures. The nights were cold, but my hubby did a wonderful job cuddling me and keeping me warm at night, especially last night when I had to keep venturing out into the cold since I was sick. Dumb IBS.
I could write a long, wordy post about how great my husband is, because he really is amazing, but he doesn't read this anyway so I will tell him in person instead. I'll save that post for another day when I'm feeling particularly talkative. He loves his new birthday cell phone.
In other news, we are on the lookout for a puppy!! I'm not sure what kind yet, you all know my dream in a Yorkshire Terrier, but we are too poor for that one. Someday. But we are going to keep checking the Pet Stores for a small baby girl! And I got slip-covers for our couches!! Here's the Before and After: (remember, the slipcovers still need to be ironed.)
