Michigan = Allergies

I have come to the conclusion that I am allergic to the state of Michigan.

I know, I know, you're thinking to yourself, "Gee Ashley, that's kind of a ridiculous bold statement." If that was going through your head, then I would like you to explain how I feel fine traveling to and from Michigan, I even feel fine days leading up to the travels. HOWEVER, the moment that plane touches ground in Michigan, my face turns into a blubbering mess. I can't breath, I can't smell, I can't taste, and today, my throat has decided to develop a cough.

When looking at the stupid-ness of this whole situation, at least I have something cool to say to people when they tell me that they're sorry I'm not feeling well. I can turn to them and say, "ya, who would have guessed I was allergic to the state of Michigan?" Even saying that out loud makes me feel silly inside.

If you've made it this far in this post, you are guessing that yes, once again I am living in Michigan. This time my team is here for three weeks. There are many positive things one could say about this state although I would prefer to leave those things to people that actually enjoy this state. I would prefer to mention things such as its cold, snowing every day, and has lots of yucky things that I'm allergic to.

In conclusion to this rant...I am sitting in my hotel room working with a Kleenex stuck up my nose.

Life continues to go on. I have several exciting weekends coming up in March. We fly back to DC (!!) on my birthday and Brittany arrives a week later! I'm extremely excited for her to come visit and I'm not just saying that because she will be reading this :) Being able to show my friends the life I am living in DC is something I am very grateful for. Once these people see everything I have going on, they often stop asking me when I'll be moving back to Kansas...or Florida as my father asked me last week. Now, just to be clear, Brittany does not bother me about when I'm moving back. Let's not confuse this.

After March comes April then May. May arrives with excitement as I will be traveling back to Kansas for a week!
