Celebration Weekend!!!

After hearing the great news from the doctors on Friday that all the cancer is gone, we decided to celebrate this weekend! I still can't travel far, but they gave the o.k for us to travel as far as an hour and a half. In the midst of all of this diagnosis it was my birthday, our anniversary and Tyler's birthday!!! We really didn't celebrate at all because all we could think of and have anxiety about was the cancer, so we had a great weekend to make up for that! On Saturday we went to a small town nearby called Matthews. They have a big festival and parade every year. We weren't here this time last year, so all these upcoming festivals and events are all new to us. Layla had a blast watching the parade and riding the ponies and carousal. On Sunday we went out of town to Columbia, SC. We went to Edventure Children's museum, which was so amazing. That night we stayed at a Hotel and the next day went to the Columbia Zoo. It was great that our "Mora" was able to experience this all with us and the kids. We were all exhausted when we got home, but we had such a great time and felt like a hundred pound weight had been lifted from our shoulders and we could finally breathe. We are going to miss our Mora so much when she leaves us Saturday. Layla especially has grown so attached to her this trip and I'm having a hard time even thinking about how Layla is going to react when she leaves. At least we have November to look forward to!
