For our second wedding anniversary, my husband booked us a cozy a-frame treehouse near Shasta Lake. We took off work early on Friday and drove up 4-5 hours from San Francisco to enjoy the arrival of fall in the quiet beauty of the outdoors.

We spent our mornings and early afternoons hiking and exploring lakes or waterfalls. By evening, we’d be cozying on the couch in front of the fire, sipping tea, reading, and cooking dinner together.

To my husband - if it’s even possible, I’m falling more in love with you everyday. On our second anniversary, when my hands got too cold outdoors, you warmed them on your bare stomach. It’s hard to describe in words how happy I feel, celebrating being married to you. Since our first date, I’ve never felt so loved, my soul at peace, who I am inside and out fully accepted and understood. I’m looking forward to spending many more years together ahead!

Hoping to return here again someday!
