birthday weekend adventures

Christopher and I went to Lexington this past weekend to house hunt and had a blast! I cannot WAIT to get moved up there!!!!

The weather could not have been any more beautiful for our house-hunting expedition. We looked at over 30 houses, which was both exciting and exhausting. I think we've narrowed it down to about six homes, with two being extra special... We're going back to look at our top six choices again on Friday. :) Wish us luck!

We had a little bit of extra time on Sunday afternoon, believe it or not, so our realtor took us to Keeneland. (Lexington annual horse races, for those of you who are ignorant like me). It was so much fun- beautiful thoroughbreds everywhere, tons of people, food, sunshine, and exciting racetracks. Chris bet $2.00 on horse #5 "Mambo in Seattle", but he failed us... he got 4th place out of 6 horses... it was sad. It was only two bucks anyway. Our realtor won $11.80 by betting on horse #3 "Farthest Land"-- um, what kinda name is that for a horse? I swear these people come up with the most bizarre names. Poor horsies.

Horse #3- the winner of the first race

You had to watch the horses on the TV screen as they ran around the back side of the track.

Gorgeous horse. I want one.

AND THEY'RE OFF!

On another bright note, we sold our house this weekend! The buyers officially accepted our counter-offer, so assuming nothing falls through, consider our house sold!

P.S. Special thank-you to Lyndi & Rob Thompson for letting us stay with them. It was so nice to meet baby Jack, and their two huge dogs: Ella and Jess. :)
