February Update!

February has been a busy month for the Kron's. We are both taking an adult beginner tennis lesson at Kiwanis Park and swimming lessons with Sun Devil Masters at ASU--all in an effort to be more athletic. Ami has only been to one swimming lesson because he had to travel to NYC the 2nd week of February for work. He was a little worried about the weather as it was less than ideal conditions, but overall I think he enjoyed the feeling of "city life" and seeing some interesting sites. (What did we ever do before camera phones?)

We saw Lion King at Gammage--amazing costumes

NYC or Tel Aviv?

Ami missed the second week of swim lessons because he had tickets to the Suns vs. Lakers game and it also happened to be Shaq's Debut-Amiis planning on coming to the last week of swim class and show coach Johnny--how much he's been practicing--yeah right. Swimming has been quite challenging for me--I have never been much of a lap swimmer and for the past 20 years swimming meant getting wet and lounging in a pool or sunbathing. The breathing, the kicking, the flailing arms, the flippers--it is quite complicated. Bryan, my swimming brother has given me some tips and they help--I think it is just repetition and practicing more often. I am doing the Tri for the Cure in April-which will be my first triathalon--I only need to swim 400 meters for the race, but I'd like to be able to swim without looking like a complete novice. More on the athletic front--my 3 gal pals-Laura, Beth, & Shelly and I are really motivated right now--I don't know why--but I think that the marathon kicked us all in the butt as we were not this motivated in the fall--Beth and Laura are running the San Diego Marathon on June 1st--Ami and I are going out to cheer them on and be Marathon Groupies (and to escape the PHX heat if even only for one day). Shelly and I are doing the triathalon--so will all this training going on we have started a brand new blog for motivation--the link is on the side bar--called Motivation Blog. I have been 3 months now at my new job at United Healthcare--I'm finally getting into the grove of everything and love the clients that I am working for. I'm taking my first business trip to Denver next month--unfortunatley it is mid week and couldn't be combined with a ski trip. But that is OK--because the 2nd sort-annual girls ski weekend is next week and 6 of us are headed to Copper to dominate the mountain. I know this blog entry is getting long--but believe it or not there is more to say. Ami and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary (Can you believe it). We spent a simple weekend hanging out with friends at the ASU Basketball game and then lounged at home on the day of our anniversary before heading out to a nice dinner at Alto located at the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch.


And last but not least--our European Vacation is finalized--Airfare and all hotels booked--I'll share the details in another blog entry, but we are super excited-only 131 days left until we leave.
