Busy Weekend: Birthing Class, Citywalk, Star Trek, & BJ's

This past weekend was certainly eventful as it began with an all-day birthing class at my doctor's office. We decided it might be best to complete the class in 1 day as it would be difficult to attend multiple classes during week nights when we live 45 minutes away from Lancaster and Steve's work schedule has been unpredictable and hectic with ever-changing flight schedules. So there you have it, we spent the day learning all about labor, relaxation techniques, delivery, etc. etc. Steve's favorite part (haha) was watching the labor videos...he's not really feeling the whole blood and gore aspect. :) Overall, the training was beneficial and informative and answered most of the questions that I had. Really at this point I think I am more anxious about all the silly Tricare procedures that we have to go through with the military than the actual delivery itself. I guess as it gets closer that may change....

After the class, we headed down to the Universal Studios Citywalk in Hollywood where we met up with Steve's Aunt Linda and cousin, Amy. They decided to take a girl's weekend getaway trip to California before school starts up again for Amy at the end of the month. We enjoyed a fun dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and then checked out some of the shops and entertainment.

Sunday was fun as we hit the cheap theatres and saw Star Trek in the afternoon, which was definitely a great movie, and then shared a yummy BJ's pizza and cookies n' cream Oreo pizookie. (If you have visited us in California, chances are we have taken you to BJ's on maybe one or more occasion.) Ahhh, fun times!

How delicious does that look!? If you won't come visit us for the beautiful desert landscape, consider visiting for this delicious warm dessert! (The rest of the food is good too!)
