Quick Visit to Cali and Starting a New Job

Last Friday I finally finished my internship and so Adam and I decided to go on a quick little trip down to California to see my family. We drove all day Friday, spent Saturday and Sunday there, and then came back Monday. This was our first road trip with Ellie and we were a little nervous at how she would do, but she ended up doing really great and just slept most of the time we were driving.
On Saturday, we all went to I Fly, an indoor sky diving place. Of course I could not participate being pregnant so I hung out with our niece and nephew and cheered on the rest of the family while they were in the wind tunnel. Adam had tons of fun flying and it was a blast to watch him. I will definitely try it out one day when I'm not pregnant.

Later that day we headed over to Babies R' Us where my mom and sister helped us register for all of the things we will need. While it was so helpful to get their insight (since I don't know what I'm doing), I do have to say that it was a bit overwhelming thinking of all the things we need to get before the little girl gets here.
On Sunday we went to church and mostly just relaxed. We took Ellie to the dog park twice that day and she loved it. I really wish we had a dog park close by. Sunday night we had an early birthday party for Adam with all of his favorite foods, including a birthday cake.

We were only able to take a quick little trip because I started my new job on Tuesday. I am working as the health coach for the Educators Mutual Insurance wellness program. In general, I will be providing consultations on nutrition, exercise, weight loss, disease prevention etc. to participants in the wellness program. I am really excited about the job and think it will be a great fit for me.
