4 Glorious Years Together

This year, for our 4th wedding anniversary, Dan and I had the opportunity to go to the Joslyn Art Museum. Ever since we've moved to Omaha, Dan and I have wanted to go to the Joslyn Museum, but we've never had the time. My graduation award ceremony was actually held in the Joslyn Art Museum, but the art work was off limits so we didn't get to fully experience the beautiful building and all it has to offer. Every Saturday from 10am to noon, admission is free. Since our anniversary was on a Wednesday this year, we decided to celebrate on Saturday and go to Joslyn!

 Right when you walk up the stairs of the museum, you see this beauty! What a fun piece of art! In down town Omaha, there is a glass blowing shop that Dan has been in to do some fundraising for the Magis Clinic. When he came home from the glass shop, Dan couldn't stop raving about how awesome glass blowing is.  After seeing this display, I think we'll have to take a venture down town, so I can get in on the action!

 We didn't take too many pictures of the art. To be completely honest, after touring the Louvre in Paris France, I wasn't impressed by this little museum. Even the little museums I have visited in Europe were hands down leaps and bounds ahead of the Joslyn. Lets face it, Europe, in and of its self, is picturesque and absolutely breath taking that this little museum can't even compete. There was a traveling art show of western American art, which we really enjoyed. There were a lot of paintings featuring the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Also displayed, were half a dozen pictures of Devil's Slide. There were a lot of Indian bead work, which was very pretty. Since Omaha began as a railroad town, there was a display of the railroad going through the many canyons of Utah. It took me back to all the memories of camping in Utah.

 For our honeymoon, Dan took me to Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite National Park to see the Redwoods. While touring Joslyn, we saw a painting of El Capitan, which is in Yosemite! How special!

Here's the picture of El Capitan we took 4 years ago during our honeymoon!

In the picture above, we're sitting in front of a water fountain in Joslyn. So pretty!

I love the art around Omaha. We're constantly reminded of the pioneers and the history of the church.

Hahahaha! This is a perfect depiction of what it would have been like if Dan and I had traveled across the plains.

 What's an anniversary without a little romance?

Here's the proof: I married a goofball, who is just like my dad!

 For dinner, Dan and I went out to Wheat Fields, a family friendly diner. I'm pretty sure all the food is homemade. It's absolutely delicious! Dan had a yummy rack of ribs and I delved into some quiche! 

I love you Dannyyyyyyyyyy!! 

Here's to an eternity with you right by my side!
