Daily Days of MKH: Where Did the Weekend Go?

Its Sunday and I can't believe that the weekend is OVER! Its been a great and busy weekend for the FIN and I. The weather has been perfect and it is hard to believe that is October. I feel like the FIN and I have been going non-stop for the past six months (literally) and we are looking forward to heading to Texas this weekend for his birthday. I have spent most of the morning and half of the afternoon doing my usual "Cinderella" duties. Being that I was about to break into a mild sweat I thought it was time for a break and felt that a weekend re-cap was needed...

On Friday evening the FIN and I went downtown to the Spotlight Lexington event that has been going on in conjunction with the World Equestrian Games (WEG). We had seen the signs and the masses of people that were congregating downtown and figured that we would check it out before dinner. It was great weather but I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures to share but I was able to pull some shots from the official Spotlight Lexington website.

Banners all over Lexington advertised for the 2 Week Festival....

After leaving downtown we headed to meet with Catherine and Gable (see Wedding Post here) for dinner. They were in town for Keeneland and the UK football game. It was so nice to see them and catch up. Again, my camera was at home on my desk so I don't have a group shot from dinner, but our dinner was fantastic (as always...). On Saturday we put on our UK Blue and headed to the stadium for a few hours to socialize with friends. We weren't able to go to the game due to a prior engagement in Louisville but we had almost 2 hours to mingle before we had to leave. I remembered my camera and was able to take several festive UK blue photos.

The FIN & I.... Proud Alumni

Amanda and I.... We LOVE UK!

Even though we couldn't stay for the game I had a great time enjoying the fun that football season brings. The FIN was able to listen to the game in the car and was getting updates on his phone so he was well informed as to what was happening. UK wasn't able to pull out a win but I'm sure everyone still had fun.

After we left the stadium we changed clothes and made our way to Louisville to our dear friend's Emmy & Austin's housewarming party. It had been several months since I had seen Emmy (even though she only lives an hour away getting together has proven to be difficult...) we were super excited to see her and Austin's new home. The party was super fun and it was great to see old friends. Even though it had been a while since I had seen Emmy I felt like we were back in college almost as if she had never moved back to Louisville. The food was yummy and they are planning on hosting a Christmas party and I CANNOT wait. I love anything festive and that involves matchy-matchy themed clothing (I am secretly hoping that they have a tacky Christmas sweater party). It was sad that we had to leave and I am excited for the next gathering....
