We found out...

...Mara matched in AZ!!! She'll be a part of the joint Phoenix Children's Hospital/St. Joe's Medical Center Pediatrics Program! All her hard work and dedication really paid off! Now we are planning the next stages of house hunting...:) We had a get together with some of the program directors and current residents & interns at Aunt Chilada’s (say it all together...:P) Mexican Restaurant. It was nice to meet some of the people Mara worked with, and they (of course) had nothing but good things to say about her. Several of the other people that matched were there as well, and it looks like Mara will have a good crew to work with starting in July!
Heather & John were nice enough to take Rohan the same night we found out, which happened to be St. Patrick's Day. Mara and I took full advantage and went rock climbing at AZR for almost 3 hours! We normally only get 1-2 (tops) with Rohan along, so 3 was a real treat! We got to climb with several different people and even met a couple new people. Afterwards we hit up Four Peaks Brewery for some Kiltlifters and Raj IPAs with some AZR friends. It was nice to hang out with all "adults" for once!
Friday we picked up Rohan from Heather's (THANKS AGAIN!!!) and dropped him off at daycare, then had the rest of the day to ourselves. We tried going to the Brewers/Rockies game, but it was sold out (who'da thought that!?!?!). We ended up wondering around some Goodwill's and driving by some houses of interest before picking up Rohan. We ate some quick dinner, then headed to the gym again before heading the airport to pick up Grandma & Grandpa Syring! Rohan was super excited to see them (even though he was exhausted!). Rohan showed Grandpa the airplanes taking off and landing before we headed out. We drove by some houses to show them and then headed home for some wine and lemons...:)
G&G headed to Tuscon early Saturday morning to see some friends. Actually they left around 4am their time since Grandpa forgot to set his clock to AZ time...oops...:) We headed down to Greg & Nico's to meet up and go to Luke Air Force Base's Luke Day's celebrating "70 years of Thunder". They didn't disappoint. They had some awesome shows done by F-18s, F-22s, A-10s, and a stunt helicopter show that made me question all I know about helicopter aerodynamics. The F-22 (Raptor) was by far my favorite, and the exhaust flames gave me goose bumps! I think I had just as much fun as Rohan...who had fun until the F-18 buzzed the crowd and woke him up. He eventually got used to the noise, but he was pretty pissed off for a while. After the airshow we headed back to Greg's for some BBQ and Root Beer Floats. An awesome end to a long, awesome day!
On Sunday we met up with Jeanette and a friend from AZR, Irena, at Mountain View Park and Irena led a 75 minute outdoor yoga class along the Greenbelt Trail. It was such a nice experiance, and Rohan was so well behaved (his second group yoga class). He spent most of the time climbing on Mara or I, or climbing his stroller in search of animal crackers. A couple times he even ran up to Irena and walked around with her while she instructed...it was really cute. We can't wait to meet up again for more outdoor yoga! We finished Sunday off with some more climbing (we're both making awesome gains, and it's feeling great!), followed by some R&R for our tired bones. We wouldn't have it any other way...:)
Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the Spring weather and spend some time outdoors!


F-22 Raptor...Awesome Every Time:
