Quick Update on the Kroners

Haven't written in awhile (though neither has anyone else), but I'm still holding out hope that this blog might catch on with the Miller family sometime! Quick update on us:

Say Goodbye to Delta!

I stopped traveling full-time at the end of February and said goodbye to my sister and Shawn who I've been lucky to see almost every week for 1 1/2 years. Though sad to leave them and the friends I had at my previous client, I'm ready to be a full-time wife and mom to Willow :)

I started a new short-term (one month) role at Abbott Labs in Columbus, Ohio and am working up there (about an hour and a half away) a few days a week. I will probably have to spend one night away from home a week, but mostly they let me know they understood my desire to stop traveling and could work remotely. So, it's been fantastic!

Been doing alot of cooking, working out, and spending time with my two favorite people/dogs.

Go UD!

Kevin's life has been consumed by the Dayton Flyers basketball team for the past few months. They, like our beloved Bengals, looked like they were going to have a great season, but around January it all went downhill. We're still hoping for an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament, but after today's loss to Xavier it's not looking good (though I'm not mentioning that to him...)

Sluggin' Along

In late February, I took Kevin on a surprise weekend getaway to Louisville. I dubbed it the "Thank you for putting up with my travel for four years" trip. We took the quick hop down to Louisville on Friday and stayed through the weekend. It was alot of fun! Many casino games were played, a few drinks were consumed, lots of karoake was sung, and we even visited the Slugger museum. All in all, a successful getway.

That's all from us. Anyone else?

Rest in Peace Beau: Sept 15, 2007-February 3, 2008

We will miss you.

Checking In...

Well Susann got on me for not posting as I should so we are sitting here watching the Ohio State game (Go Bucks!) at her place so I figured I'd update the Miller family on the Kroner family!

It was a busy holiday season with lots of work events, Christmas cookie makin, and spending time at home. It's been a bit difficult for me to travel lately for work as I've been missing the home life, especially these folks:

But, being home for 2 1/2 weeks was wonderful! In addition we got to spend some time (though it was a quick trip, with Rybolt and Baikal). It was wonderful to see Matt and Erin, the parents, and Susann and Shawn too (though I see them on a pretty often basis in DC!)

Other than that, we spent the majority of the past few months cheering and crying over our beloved Bengals. As most of you know, we left my favorite sister's (and new brother in laws) wedding weekend a bit earlier for a quicker than anticipated to be on the sidelines for the Pittsburg (or as I refer to them, the S$$itsburg) Steelers / Cincinnati Bengals game. It was amazing! (well until we lost :( ) Here are some pictures from that event....

Honeymoon, Etc

We're about 80 days into marriage, so far, so good! The honeymoon was fantastic... we went to Paris, Rome, and Florence for 12 days. Stayed in some amazing places. Ate some delicious food.

All the photos are online, so I'll post the link to those (http://http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?&collid=87885450406.477089823306.1199722755428&page=1 ), if you have any interest in looking at a lot of old buildings and some schmoopy newleyweds.

Once we returned, holiday season got into full swing. Dozens of parties, lots of miles of driving, and a new puppy later, we are getting ready to enjoy some weekends at home. Our newest addition to the family, Beau, joined us Thanksgiving weekend, when someone we know was going to have to give him up for adoption. He's now a 4 month old Jack Russell, and as Shawn says "all boy". I say he's a "little shit". But Daisy's loving having a built in playmate, even if he does terrorize her. They are smiling nicely in this picture. Trust me. They usually aren't this calm.
