UNLV training trip Irvine/Coronado Ca.

Training camp this year started out with rain at the begin in Irvine Ca. We swam at UCI for the first few days along with UCI's invite. Our swimmers either swam really well or they swam really slow, not a lot of in between at this meet. We spent the remaining part of our trip in the sun in Coronado off of San Diego. I was fortunate to share a two bed hotel room with Kunio and Ben. All of our training was two blocks away from our hotel at the Coronado High School pool, which was just finished a few days before we arrived. It is a great pool! We had one day off from training and I took a few swimmers surfing near Mission beach. It was cold water but it was worth the 5-6 foot waves!

I've been tagged!

Okay, so now it is my turn to tell six things about myself.
1. Currently, I am training for a marathon with my tagger, Meg Neff. We are planning on running the Salt Lake Marathon. We shall see if the fruits of our labor pay off. We are in our second week of training (beginning Jan. 1).
2. I used to teach music on the weekends to many, many children ranging from ages 3-11. It has been quite the experience and I am certainly glad I did!
3. Why not teach? I teach music lessons to children in my area and am looking for more students. It is so fun to have a passion I enjoy and am able to give back to the communittee.
4. For work, I am building up my own music studio. It feels so good to be doing something I enjoy. I am teaching both privately and group lessons. If you know of anyone interested in voice, flute, or piano, send them my way.
5. I met John four years ago and it took him a year and a half to finally ask me out. I am glad though because the timing had to be right. I do like to tease him about it though. Hee Hee!
6. I have been VERY impressed by John taking the initiative and starting this Blog. If you think I started this, I didn't. It is such a fun adventure to see what neat things John will do next. I think that even after two years of marriage we have just skimmed the surface of how much we really know about each other. There are always more things to know and do with each other, which I am glad. What an exciting adventure this marriage is. Thank you John for all of it!

Love your wife,
Katie Jane

My next victims are my family members. You have now all been officially tagged. If you do not have a blog, then I expect a letter with full explanation telling me why you do not have one yet. Just kidding!

Paul & Rachel tag! Peter & Suzanne tag! Morgan & Ashley, you all have been tagged! Tell me six things EACH about yourselves.
