Taking a Break...Finally!




The Friday before last Ryan finished his last Board exam and was able to take a real break. That means no thoughts of school lurking in the back and waiting for us at home to spoil the relaxation. At first we wanted to go to Rocky Point, Mexico but we decided we were not up for a drive since we are heading to Utah for July. So we just took the short 20-minute drive to Scottsdale and stayed at the Kierland Resort and Spa for a few days. The resorts in Phoenix have some good specials right now because summer is a bit of a down time for the year due to the heat. We had a great time!! Trevi discovered goggles and now she is an amazing swimmer for being 3, which is great with having pool in the backyard. The goggles gave her the confidence boost she needed and she is getting plenty of practice. Ezra loved being in his little floaty, but the boy is so white I didn't let a speck of sun get on him! Now Ryan is on to the second part of medical school which is more hands-on and less head-in-the-book. He starts his first rotation with Dr. McKenna, a pediatrician in Logan, and then we will be back in August for the rest!

I'm so jealous! :) I love Dr. McKenna and I'm so excited you are coming. FOR sure you'd better look me up! And congrats to Ryan on finishing the first part of school! Such a huge hurdle!

Hey Taya, what's up?! We are new at blogging and it just takes a little looking at other people's blogs to find links for long lost friends! Jared has a brother in Mesa, and when we visited them two years ago we went to Rocky Point ("Puerto Penasco"). It's great there. That's cool you guys are in Utah for a bit. I wonder if there's a window of time we could get people together. -Shelby
