The house search isn't progressing much at this point. We are getting closer to being ready to put ours on the market, but the for sale inventory is very low. I'm sure things will pick up as spring approaches, but I am ready to look at some houses! We went to an open house today just to see what 2800 square feet feels like (not quite big enough for Bernie). The yard was about a third of the size of ours, which is out of the question. The more I think on it, the more important the lot size is to me. I think I'm craving a bit of Montana style space.
We have tickets to Noel Gallagher in Phoenix in April. I can't express my excitement, so suffice to say, I will finally be fulfilling a life-long dream. And it will be great to see Bernie's family again. We always manage to have some fun (usually margarita-fueled).
Bernie was recently allergy tested as a step in what has been a very long process in figuring out what is up with his sinuses. He has been consistently congested, snotty, etc since I met him. It turns out he is allergic to yeast and mold. So his diet is likely at least somewhat a culprit. He is planning to cut most of that our next week for awhile to see what happens. Cooking for dairy/yeast/mold allergies should be an interesting adventure. He also plans to start the four year allergy drop routine. Because a lifetime of no beer doesn't sound like much fun at all.
I have started being more committed to running again. It feels good to at least be trying. My friend and I made it three miles around the lake today even though it was about 25 degrees. That's the farthest I've made it so far. I hope to work up to a personal best 5k sometime this spring or summer. In other personal enrichment news, I am seriously considering taking a Spanish class. I need to keep adding to my resume while I am out of the workforce and a social worker who knows Spanish is very marketable around here. Plus, I always have that classroom itch.
Faggfest 2012 is all set for Silverwood in July. I have made our reservations and am ready for some serious Fagg festivities. There will be lots of hair twirling, rocking (chair style), and silly conversations that make no sense but Amy will remember for the rest of her days. I can't wait.
