We didn't have to do this in the condo!

We spent Sunday working in our yard..who knew it could be so much fun (yeah, right!). Mike mowed the lawn while I cut back all of the ivy and did some serious weeding. Boy, it sure was simpler when we just had one balcony to care for.

Our first UK football game

Mike and I went to our very first UK home game this weekend. We had our very own tailgating party before we made the short walk to Commonwealth Stadium. The Wildcats played those obnoxious Florida Gators and we left at halftime when the score was 49-7. Maybe next year Cats...

GT vs. UConn

Georgia Tech beat UConn and a good time was had by all...with the exception of one casualty. Someone (who shall go unnamed, even though he has "a real PhD") broke one of our original tailgating chairs (which were wedding gifts from Chris Ward). This is the 2nd chair that this person has broken without any remorse or attempt to replace (I'm not bitter). Despite the chair incident, it was a great afternoon and game!

It's No Longer Just A House...It's A Home!

My mom and I spent this past weekend working on the house. We made drapes, built furniture and spent lots of $$$$. The hard work definitely paid off!

Georgia Tech beats Auburn, 23-14!

Jimmy and Taylor are pumped up for Georgia Tech's kickoff game against Auburn. The tailgating began around 9 am and kickoff wasn't until 9 pm...one long day of drinking for sure!

Horse Racing

On Sunday we went hiking by the Kentucky River. We hiked for about 2 1/2 hours and I did not complain once!!

We had our first guests in Lexington. Brian and April came up for the weekend and we took them to Buddy's for dinner and then to the Red Mile for the harness races. A good time was had by all...we even won $6.80 on our last race (of course we bet $15 throughout the course of the night).

Our house is starting to come together!

Mike and I spent the weekend working on our house in Lexington. Saturday was a fun-filled day of yardwork, painting, furniture shopping and hanging blinds. We found a great master bedroom set and it is being delivered along with our new bed early this week. We are still on the search for the perfect couch (that doesn't cost more than our mortgage payment). But, things are coming along...almost ready for visitors.

School starts at UK this week so the campus is crazy with all the students moving back in. I love my new job and I am so happy to no longer be a student.

Hope everyone is doing well..I'll post some pics of our house with furniture and my office as soon as I get the digital camera up here in Lex.
