Lexington Trip Pictures

Our trip to Lexington was a whirlwind. Arrive lunch Thursday - Jessi to work - then to massage, which I needed (we always go in Lexington because we have the best person there - it hurts so good, but you always feel better the next day). Leave massage for birthday celebrations at Ali's brothers house. Picture below is of me and my SMIL and FIL. Notice the ponytail - that's post massage hair and pre hair cut hair.

Opening my gifts - the now famous JCrew TShirt
After the birthday celebration we crashed. We'd had some long nights at home before getting up early Thurs to drive to Lex, so that was all we had in us. (Notice the cute dress, I wore that with leggings, perfect car trip outfit! You may see that again)

Friday, I got up, went to work, had my review, attended several meetings, managed to upset James and all before lunch. Then I got my hair cut, ran back to work to drop something off (subject of upseting James) and then to get ready for the wedding. Did I mention it has been raining the entire time, especially on Friday? This wedding was meant to be outdoors? Well they moved it inside and it was beautiful. James has a way of capturing random pictures of me, see below. I was really excited to get my hair cut because I could wear the style (usually, I get my hair cut and then go home, but now I got to "show it off"). Well the rain had other ideas, so I ended up pulling it back a bit. Also had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. The dress had a deep v in the back. Well I had brought sticky things in the place of a bra. Needless to say sticky things did not stick. So I went braless. Lucky for me, I can get away with it, but I hung on to that shawl most of the night anyway.
This is the best picture of the two of us and its still a bit blurry.
Saturday we went to Keeneland with my girlfriends. It was supposed to be a couples thing but the other guys bailed. And by we, I mean I went to Keeneland until about 3, when James joined us. He spent the morning helping pack up the moving truck for his mom and sister. And, truth be told, for us too as we got a few pieces (those pictures are coming too). After Keeneland, we went to Jonathan's at Gratz Park Inn for dinner. BEST FRIED GREEN TOMATO SALAD EVER. I had dreams about it. I should have just ordered 2 salads as my meal...awesome! (Check out the menu, I dare you - its awesome. And if you are in Lexington, I suggest you go). No group shots with the girls, but below is a picture of James and me.

Then on Sunday, James got up, drove his mom's car to TN to meet them and unload/reload the truck. I met Nikki for breakfast (thanks Nikki) and headed back to ATL. The crew ended up at our house around 8. They did some unloading, then called it a night. Unfortunately mother nature intervened the next day and the rest of the truck was unloaded in the pouring rain. All in all a packed weekend. Then it was my birthday day and I've already posted about that.

Coming soon....pictures of our trip to the GA mountains!

I love, love your shirt in the first 2 pictures -- too cute! And the hair looks awesome. I feel like I always have nothing to do right after I get my hair done and waste the whole experience.
