Well, 10 min to midnight here so better get the blog of the day in! SUCH an amazing and fun day today.
We started off the morning by packing up the car and going down to the University of San Diego. Many many months ago, I won a silent auction to have our family's pictures taken. Well, one month led into another of hospital visit, after surgery, after surgery....just read the blog and you get the picture lol. SO, today was the first time we felt sure that there would be no more hospital visits and so off we went! It was such a beautiful day on such a beautiful campus! I can't wait to see how the pictures come out! One truly wonderful moment was when the photographer gave us chalk and told us to write some words that were meaningful to us that represent all that we went through this past year. She liked "survivors" and so we all got together and helped to write that, but we couldn't forget Daisy's mantra and our family's words that we have tried to live each say since last June: Find the Joy! So we got to write those down as well. Maybe Daisy got to be with us today as we were all happy and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I even cried when it was over. Tears of joy because we FINALLY got to capture happy moments on a camera to hang up in our home...so happy!
After the photo session, we headed over to Sea World and spent the day walking ALL over the place. Joel and I got to ride the new rollercoaster. He had me laughing so hard as, when the ride was over, he told me "ugh! I am NOT going on that until I am 18 years old, that ride is just TOO fast for me!" Such a cutie pie and dramatic kiddo all at the same time! The boys had so much fun running around, and we saw several shows. The last one was Shamu Rocks and then the fireworks. Both boys passed out before we made it to the exit.
It was truly a fun filled day today! Lots of laughter and giggling. I am SO sleepy, but I feel such a sense of contentment in today. There were so many happy moments....looking forward to tomorrow and next week with all the happy moments to come!
