I am feeling every little bit of overwhelmed right now as I try to settle back into reality today. The great things about partaking in really exciting things is that they are really exciting to partake in. The not so great thing is that it makes coming back to reality two thousand times harder than it normally is. The past few days have been a whirlwind of both awesome things and equally not awesome things. The bummer [and hard] part for me is that only the good topics can be shared on this blog for the time being. So I guess that’s just my disclosure to admit that while I am posting some fun life happenings recently, just know that I have also been sitting at my kitchen counter with my head in my hands crying about other things. Fortunately for me, I have no pictures of that to share. It’s truly astonishing how ugly I become when I cry. Anyhow, back to the fun stuff.

I also somehow walked away with a piece of him [a guitar pick] so that’s obviously sitting directly next to me at all times now.

Within 24 hours of that excitement, I found myself 6 1/2 hours away in Lexington, Kentucky eating dinner with my husband and our good friends from Nashville. It’s always so good to see this girl via real face time.

And that concludes the first half of my weekend. As mentioned yesterday, I will resume my recap of the Kentucky Derby in the next few days. For now, I’m off to see if I can find somebody who will answer my emails, fold my laundry, and go buy groceries for me. I pay in wine. Let me know if interested 😉
