Horses, Horses, Everywhere!

Just as this past month has been event after event, this weekend is no exception. Thursday night Tim and I were invited to a Steeplechase Kick-Off party at the Piedmont Golf Club. We'd decided to make it a date night since Tim's parents were going to take LJ overnight. We headed to the party and checked out tons of great silent auction items (non of which we could actually afford!). There were guitars signed by Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, Tiger Woods signed items, Jeff Francoeur signed stuff, and lots of horse art. We enjoyed some food and the band, then headed to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. It was a great evening of semi-dressing up and enjoying each other-a nice change from the crazy pace we've been going!

This morning I went with one of my girlfriends, Jennifer, to the Steeplechase event. It is a series of horse races to benefit a children's charity and the UGA Large Animal Hospital. Grey Goose Vodka (one of my brands) was sponsoring one of the races and sharing a tent with the W Hotel. We had a great time! I got to "present" an award to the GG Cup's winner (by "present" I mean stand in front of the winner holding a trophy while pictures are taken and then give the trophy back b/c the winner's trophies are actually in a bag ready to leave with the winner when he leaves the circle). It was fun b/c I actually got to hang out with our Grey Goose reps and our Empire Sales Reps among other guests and get to know everyone better. After an extremely stressful week (dealing with this event and another event this upcoming Thursday) it was wonderful to just hang out and enjoy the day. A side note is that this event is meant to be similar to the Kentucky Derby (at least on the sponsor side) and so Jennifer and I got dressed up - hats and everything! We felt like little old ladies going to church:) I'll post pics as soon as I get them!
