It's been a year since I married my best friend! For our anniversary (to keep things on the cheap side since we just bought a house), we went to Tennessee to visit my family. But first we got to spend our anniversary in my dad's log cabin, just the two of us. I spent probably a week out of every summer growing up (and weekends during the rest of the year) at the cabin. However, sadly, last year it burned down. So this was the first time seeing the "new" cabin. It was definitely very cozy and made you feel at home. It was a very relaxing anniversary. We woke up, listened to the birds on the back porch while rocking in the rocking chairs, ate a small breakfast, watched tv (he has satellite there! something new from the old cabin), napped, played checkers, went to the marina restaurant for lunch, watched ducks beg people for food, went back to the cabin, painted a picture, walked through the woods, and played more games. It was probably the most relaxing day we've had in a looooonnng time. And we saw two deer!
It was so relaxing to wake up in the mornings and go out on the back porch and watch the squirrels and birds and hope that a deer or two would come out of the woods.

Here is a neat picture of a tree hugging another tree. We saw it on our adventure into the woods. Every branch of the smaller tree went around the bigger tree. Awwww.

Here are the two deer that came out while Ben was painting. They were wagging their tails like little puppies.

These blue skies were seen as we were driving into the Tennessee mountains. No photo editing here, except to add the comment in the bottom right corner. I think the skies looked like that because it had been raining a lot of the day and at that moment the sun came out for a bit.
