Weirdest thing ever. Troy and I had a date. I know, I know! Hard to believe. We actually had some time alone together. I am lucky enough to have a kid-free morning every Thursday as my friend Krista and I do a weekly trade. This week I had made a plan to drive down into enemy territory (you know,....PROVO....) to the art museum to see the traveling art show of the paintings of Carl Bloch, famous painter from Denmark. He has done many many works of art that our church has either purchased or uses regularly. I didn't know that so many of his works were ones I have been so familiar with. Anyway, Troy decided to take the morning off and join me. We had such a good time driving down, talking, finding our way around, making fun of coeds....
The exhibit was not especially huge but was quite stunning in its impact. There were several large altar pieces that had traveled here from churches across norther Europe. This one below was my favorite. We also enjoyed renting ipads that were stocked with lots of information, interviews and panoramic views of the paintings' original locations. It was a real treat.
We really had a nice morning together. And, the fact that we stopped in for a quick bite and In-n-Out Burger on the way home didn't hurt much either.

We actually got a sitter on Friday night and prepped her for some large tantrums from Cara as we left. Yeah...Cara kissed us good bye,waved and then never cried once the whole evening. We told the sitter she has a standing appt. It was nice to just be us!
That was very brave of you to venture into Provo. I'm glad you both made it out ok.
