For my 25th birthday, Rob took me backpacking in Washington's North Cascades. We had a great time. We left on Friday morning, backpacked in at Colonial Creek campground. We camped at Neve camp on the Thunder creek trail. We set up our camp and then hiked around for a couple of hours before it got dark. We cooked our dinner over a fire we built together. We ate lots of yummy smores too. The serentiy of the campfire and the stary sky was stiffled when Sara saw a rodent running around her feet eating up her crumbs. We soon retreated to out tent and fell right to sleep .

In the morning, we pumped water from a fresh mountain stream that was right next to our camp and then hiked up 4th of July pass and got to the snow line. It was a pretty grueling hike up, but really, really worth it.

We saw lots of things blooming- trillium, paintbrush, violets, frittilaria. We saw enormous douglas fir and cedar trees. It was really great for Rob and I to have some quality time with each other.

We made a blog!!

Anna started a blog for the fowlers, so I thought Rob and I should have one too.

Wow, this is cool. I can tell everyone in the whole word what's going on in Rob and my life. First of all, I have a wisdom tooth that has erupted and it is causing me great, great pain. I am going to an oral surgeon today to try and get it fixed. It makes it really painful to eat, smile, and yawn. It is all swollen in the back.

Other news, our p-patch is in bloom. It is beautiful! We have peas, carrots, onions, lettuce, zucchini, sage, rosemary, lavendar, basil, oregano, poppies, blackberry, rasberry, salmon berry, and asparagus growing in it. We have about 15 tomato plants on our deck and 3 pea plants. We are so excited to have a garden this spring!

Other news, Rob is working very hard at school. He is studying all the time and at school alot. He is a very good student. He gets really good grades. I am very proud of my genius husband.

That's about it for now.
