Wide Open Spaces

My family went to Lexington for the past few days to visit my sister, brother in law and nephew.  I love going to Lexington.  Everything is so pretty there.  There's not a lot of open land in Owensboro.  In Lexington there's so many open fields that just make me wish I was a kid again so I could kick off my shoes and run around for no reason.  

Lexington reminds me of the Dixie Chicks song Wide Open Spaces.  

She needs wide open spaces

Room to make her big mistakes 

She needs new faces

She knows the high stakes

I guess because I went to college in Lexington and it was the first time I really left my parents.  And I really needed to get away, out of their nest and see what kind of person I really was without them by my side.  And I needed to make mistakes, so I could learn and grow from them, which I did.  I needed new people to meet, because all of my friends had gone to other colleges.  It was definitely scary to leave, but I couldn't live at home forever, right? 

I stayed at my cousins' house one night.  They have an amazing back yard, and a ton of land with a barn.  They have several animals, cats, dogs, horses, I'm not sure what else!  When I go to the barn, I go camera crazy haha.  I love taking pictures of the horses.   

My grandma decided to name this picture 'The Road to Nowhere.'  I approve :)

The night before we left, I told my mom I wanted to go to Target because I wanted to buy something to wear to Lexington (*Shopaholic symptom: buying specific clothes for a casual event).  Well we went, and I got this super cute sweater.  Pretty sure it was only $18.99 :)  I put on an apricot colored tank underneath so it would look even more Fall-like. 

I should have taken a picture of these when I had on my skinny jeans.  I absolutely love them though.  I got them at Target (duh) and they were somewhere around $30

Leaving Lexington :(  Always hard to say goodbye!
