Anniversary!

Okay, so this post is long over due but better late that never I guess. On August 8th we had our 3rd anniversary. We decided that we didn't want to do anything expensive to celebrate but we wanted to get out of the city. So we decided to try camping up in The Spruces for 4 days. We borrowed Brian's mom's trailer and had a really great, relaxing time. Here is a picture of the cute little trailer that made our camping trip so much more comfortable than sleeping in a tent.


We didn't want to burden anyone with the chore of watching Stu for us so we brought him along. I think he did pretty well for his first camping trip.  Here he is chilling out on his cage inside the trailer.

 He spent most of the weekend just hanging out on one of our shoulders. We had to be careful because the littlest things would scare him and he would go flying off into a bush. Somehow he managed to survive.


 It was a great weekend. It was nice to just sit and relax and not worry about anything. And the weather was great. We got dumped on by a huge rain storm the first night, which made me grateful to have the trailer, but the rest of the weekend was perfect. Except for the fact that it is freezing cold at night, even in the summer, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Here is a picture of our rabbit friend we brought along to keep us company. He almost looks real and like he belongs in this setting. :)

And of course, like any good camping trip, we spent a lot of time by the fire. There is just something about fires while camping. You can't help but love them.

It's crazy to think that we have been married for 3 years. I can't imagine life with out Brian. I'm excited to celebrate many more anniversaries with him!! Yay for marriage!!

Stu

So I just realized that we mention in our profile that we have a cockatiel named Stu but we have never introduced him officially on the blog. I think that he is feeling a little left out.
So here is Stu!
He is quite an adorable bird. Let me tell you a few things about him. He loves whistling/singing in the mirror. He loves it when we rub his head. He makes us smile everyday. He is completely driven by his desire for food (it gets annoying every once in a while) and he is determined to get what he wants. He waddles around our apartment like he owns the place. He likes to take naps and snuggle with Brian.
He puts himself to bed around 10:30 pm and is very grumpy if you try to play with him after that time. He loves flying around the house. And one of his favorite toys is one of Brian's flossing Plackers as you can see in this picture.

He is a very social bird and I'm afraid he annoys our neighbors because he loves to chirp so much. Well there you go. That is Stu. We purchased him from Bird World last December and he had his first birthday in August. So he is still a baby but he is definitely a delight in our home. I hope you enjoyed meeting him. :)
