And they're off!

Awww....Louisville at Derby time...the buzz is in the air and everyone feels a sense of pride. I'm so excited to say that Blake and I will be attending our first Kentucky Derby this year! We have a friend that will be able to get us into the backside of the track to enjoy the event. I've been told that the backside is where all the action happens, tons of horses, owners and trainers, and rubbing elbows with people in the industry...all while wearing a comfortable pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. Gotta love life! I figure this is a once in a lifetime shot at seeing the Derby up and close and personal so we better jump on it. I sincerely hope that the rain and thunderstorms will stay away but regardless, I'm going to enjoy it...mint juleps will help. :) Also, in other news, Blake's interview in Evansville, IN went extremely well but he didn't get the job. They decided to go with a local and that's all good. Blake and I were just a little dissapointed because it would have been a big move him and his career but there is a time and place for everything so we will just have to be patient. So Louisville, you will have to deal with us! Hope everyone has a wonderful Derby weekend and hope everyone picks the winning horse. LOVE YOU ALL!
