My Ol' Kentucky Home... or is it?

Hey y'all! (I have to say that now since I'm back in Kentucky for a little while. I need to get it out of my system by the time I return home so I don't embarrass myself by letting it slip out at the grocery store or something random like that back in Utah, haha).

This past weekend we went to the county fair. How cute and fun that was! I even got to take Kayelee on the merry-go-round. Isn't this the cutest picture? (:

She loved all the people and lights around to see. She also loved watching all the horses by their stalls and in the horse shows. We went to the truck pull (like a tug-o-war, but with trucks instead.. hey, I know what you're thinking, but it's Kentucky, okay?! It was epic. Enough said.)

 

 For all those who don't know what a truck pull is, well, here ya go.

Anyway, I flew out here to Kentucky because one of my best friends is getting married on the 18th. Woo-hoo! I absolutely love weddings. Seeing all the planning-the dress, the invitations, the *ehem* bridal shower and bachelorette party fun- and giddy stress just makes me want to jump into a time machine and get married to my husband Jonald all over again! I'm getting off topic here...

I came out here early in order to make it out for her bridal shower on the 3rd. The only thing is that requires Kayelee and I to be away from Jonald and the comfort of our own home for more than 2 and 1/2 weeks.

Awhh I miss my hubby. /:

I was really excited for my Kentucky trip because I get to hang out with old friends and family, and have some extra help with Kayelee as I help my friend with the final wedding touches. I have had an absolute blast doing so, by the way! The only thing is that home doesn't feel like "home" anymore. Everyone is all grown up. There are so many new buildings, shops, and restaurants. I thought I would run into people I knew at the store or the fair right and left, but it was like everyone from high school vanished (minus the friends that are either still living in town or came into town to visit). It just doesn't feel the same here anymore.

I guess that's just part of growing up. When talking to Jonald today, I even referred Utah as "home" in out conversation... *shudder.* I'm not hating on Utah, I just never imagined I would be calling it as our "home" home (for now)', if that makes any sense. Jonald and I have our own little family now, and we have our own place to call "home," that is only ours as a family. It's our new place to create memories as Kayelee grows up and as Jonald and I grow together as spouses. It's so cute to think about, and it's given me a new perspective on our "home" together in Utah. So here's to the wonderful family new memories to be created and enjoyed!
