1. I've never experienced allergies until I moved to the south. I'm not affected terribly in the sinuses and whatnot, but my eyes bear the brunt of the pain. I get itchy itchy pain in the eyes that only gets worse if I touch or itch them. Yuck. I had a terrible reaction last fall during the peanut harvest where I thought my eyes were going to explode. Luckily I won't be around to experience that again.

2. We should be back in Nebraska in t-minus one month. WHOOHOO! Dale's projected graduation date is May 5 and we're heading home as soon as possible. Finding a place to live has been problematic, and I'm not sure where we'll be living but I know for sure it will be in or around Lincoln somewhere. It's super hard to find somewhere to live when you can't physically be there, so I'm really struggling with finding a place nice enough that I can have a crawling baby in.

3. Of course that means I have to pack our entire house in the next month and I'm dreading it. Ugh.

4. Macy loves feeding herself. I bought her some little Gerber Graduate puffs just to see if she was big enough to chew them up, and she absolutely loved them. I've now added the Gerber Graduate lil' crunchies and yogurt melts; and some Baby Mum Mums. She loves them all, and she's so proud of herself for being able to do it alone. It's pretty cute.

5. I ran 6 miles yesterday and it wasn't very easy. I'm really starting to panic about having to go 13.1. The ironic thing about this half-marathon thing is I didn't even want to do it at first, Dale had to talk me into it. Now that I've been running a few months though, I'm so super glad I've gotten back into it. I really enjoy it.

6. I'm finally starting to lose some of that extra baby weight I've been carting around. It feels so good to be able to wear clothes and not be so self conscious about the flab I had hanging around my waist. Now I'm just a little bit self conscious instead. My goal is to get down to the weight I was when I got married, which is totally within reach. Yay!
