4 Year Anniversary

This past week Sean and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.  The month of March has sort of served as a stay-cation for us.  I had surgery at the beginning of the month (which I will update on later in a separate post) so Sean took the month off to help me take care of Ely.   It's been really nice to just spend time together.  We have been fortunate to have this time together, and we both were able to spend our entire anniversary together, morning til night.  

We went to breakfast together at The Egg and I, following breakfast we went to the Durham Museum.  It was a week day so it wasn't  busy.  With our move coming up, it was nice to go to an Omaha attraction and see some new things about the city we have been in for the past few years.  There is something so bittersweet about visiting this museum.  I wish trains were still a prominent part of travel in the United States.  Amtrak does accommodate those that wish to take the train, but it  certainly doesn't look this glamorous. 

She just woke up!  She was so amazed by the intricate ceiling.

In the evening we got a sitter for Ely and went out to dinner.  We had such a lovely time together. We had a reservation at The Grey Plume, which was very hospitable and possibly one of the most perfect places to go for a romantic dinner together.  When we made our reservation they asked if it was for a special occasion, we told them it was for our anniversary. 

When we arrived we had a card at our table, which was a really nice touch.

  One thing that we found particularly neat about this restaurant is that they do their  best to get as many items as possible locally, and in season.  They had some interesting beverage selections, Sean ordered a soda that was made in house as they did not have any Pepsi or Coke products.  Our main dishes were delicious and we played it rather safe when ordering them, it was our appetizer that brought out our bravery when trying to be open minded food tasters.   We order a charcuterie board that came with some interesting items such as rabbit stomach, lamb bacon, smoked salmon, duck liver patte, and some really yummy cheeses that I can't even remember to name. It was kind of fun trying all the different items.  There wasn't anything that I hated, but there were some things I loved.  If you live in Omaha or are visiting, this restaurant is something to experience. 

It's crazy to think Sean and I have been married for 4 years. We dated for 4 years before we were married, and now that we have 4 years of marriage on top of that it makes me feel really old.  My wedding day was the first of many "happiest days" of my life.   It's hard to say I have just one, but my wedding day certainly was the start of it all.  It's because of Sean I can say I have so many others (like the birth of our daughter!).   I have experienced true joy because of him.  He is my best friend.
