Happy Monday guys! How was your weekend? I hope it was relaxing and fun and that you feel rejuvenated to start your week.
Our weekend started off with an art class at the Joslyn on Friday night. Josh and I are Young Art Patrons, which I highly recommend for all young professionals living in Omaha. It’s a great way to meet new people and get to attend fun art events all over the city. This event was a lecture by Peggy Reinecke, followed by an art class!
We made glass paintings. Since I have the artistic ability of a squirrel, I kept it simple with hearts.
Josh made a colorful under the sea painting. It was such a fun date night.
Even the sugar cookies were artistic. I was good and only had a bite, but wow was it one good bite.
Saturday morning Josh and I were off to Lincoln for the day. I took my green smoothie and watermelon dress and hit the road.
We had tickets to see Cirque du Soleil. Their latest show Toruk was in Lincoln and I had gotten Josh tickets way back in December. The show was very different than previous Cirque shows I’ve seen, but was still absolutely wonderful. It was less about crazy acrobatics and more about storytelling with beautiful imagery.
There was a giant chocolate display in the arena where Toruk was touring that obviously required me to get a photo in front of. 😉
Since we weren’t going to be getting home until well past dinner time, I went off my Jenny Craig plan and ordered a veggie sandwich with grits for dinner at The Single Barrel. It was worth it.
After dinner we enjoyed the nice weather in Lincoln and walked around for a bit before heading home. I love the downtown atmosphere of the city. College towns always feel so alive to me. I realized after snapping this picture that I snapped someone wearing the same Target shirt I just blogged about!
Sunday was a run errands and lounge kind of day. The highlight was waking up to these sweet surprise flowers from Josh. He’s a keeper. 😀
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Have you seen a Cirque du Soleil show? Would you rather be surprised with flowers or chocolate?

Already commented how I loved your dress but watermelons are my fave! Also that window painting sounds so fun and unique. And chocolates-so Insta worthy!
How fun is your weekend! Love your watermelon print dress.
Love that dress! So adorable. And I wish that wall was real! Cirque is one of the coolest experiences. One time, my dad was actually puled up on stage! I saw their Cavalia show (which was about the horses) a few years back, and it was fantastic. I haven’t been to a “regular” Cirque show in years otherwise.
I love your watermelon print dress! And those chocolates and cookies both look delectable! I totally cracked up that you have the artistic ability of a squirrel! My artistic ability is somewhere between that of a squid and a barnacle! As far as chocolates or flowers, I would prefer amazing chocolates, but my waistline would rather flowers! And I did seen a Cirque du Soleil show many years ago in Las Vegas and it literally took my breath away! So amazing!
That watermelon dress is adorable! I might need it. Glad you had a good weekend. Thanks for hosting.
I love your watermelon dress! And those flowers are gorgeous!
Looks like the perfect weekend. I love how you said you have the artistic ability of a squirrel, LOL… because so do I, ha!

I love my chocolate – don’t get me wrong, but I love being surprised by flowers. And those are gorgeous! Look like a fun weekend – have a great Monday!
I love the look of those chocolates. Makes me hungry
Gorgeous photos and the food look soooooo good!
How lovely, i never knew Lincoln could be so much fun, I will have to visit, your dress is ace, so fresh and fun x
“The artistic ability of a squirrel” cracked me up. Right there with you sister. And I LOVE that dress! So perfect!
Sounds like such a fun weekend! 🙂
Flower, chocolate, and cute dresses — that’s a weekend.:) Happy Monday, friend!
That dress is so awesome – and right up my alley. I have a watermelon t-shirt and tank top and I just love clothes with produce on them 🙂 You look great!
