Dear Tyler,

Hi sweetheart! How are you doing today on this beautiful Thursday afternoon? I can only imagine that you see this kind of weather daily in the Heavens above. Not a cloud in the sky and the color is just so blue. The sun is warm and shining so bright. The temp today here was 85 degrees. I really enjoyed it so much. The sun always makes me feel good and happy. Thank you for the wonderful surprise the last couple of nights. The stars were shining so brightly and there were so many of them. When I was walking the pups I couldn't take my eyes off the night sky. It was just so beautiful. I kept wondering which one you were and then I saw the brightest one in the sky and then I knew. I smiled so big and so wide and whispered to you. Hope you heard Mom! I hope you hear me talking to you all the time. I miss you my sweet son. I love you unconditionally and I always will.

 So.. we got so news yesterday from Mark's office....the company that he works for got the contract renewed for another 3 years. With that being said... we will not be moving to Ohio. We will be staying here in Texas for another 3 years. It wasn't the worst news and it wasn't the best either. I like Texas for the most part, but I sure wanted to be closer to our family and friends again. I guess we all will have to be more creative in traveling to see one another. That will be the challenge for both our side and Mark's side of the family. I have faith that we will be able to come up with something.

 Plans are coming along for the wedding. Basically we need to get Mom's dress altered and get a few more minor things but other than that we just need to save the money for the catering and we are finished. It is nice to be busy during the day time and get so many things accomplished. I don't watch tv during the daytime anymore. I have started working out again daily and I am feeling so good on that end. I wake up earlier and I go to bed earlier as well. It also helps Mark on his work routine. He has been working from home the last 3 months but has now started to go to the office again for part of the days and works from home in the afternoons. It works out great! The best of both worlds for us.

 Mom has been doing a lot of thinking and I am wanting to go back to work again. I don't want to work for anyone so I am thinking of opening up my own store... a Candy Store here in Texas. I think it would be a great idea. I have a few names going around in my head. I have done some research on what it takes and what needs to be done. I need to see if I can get a loan first and if I can then I just need to become a Texas resident with a Texas drivers license, etc... Do you think that is a good idea? I wish you were here with me so you could help me out. I know you would have so many cool ideas on what to do. Help Mom and give me some signs will ya??? I need you Tyler. I will keep you updated on things as they progress. 

 I hope that tonight I will be able to see the stars shining brightly again. I will look to the sky and whisper to you as I always do. I hope you have a restful and peaceful night in the Heavens above. Fly high and fly free Tyler.... my precious son and Angel above. Watch over us all like I know you always do. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Forever... 

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
