Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday night? I hope that you are somewhere warm & sunny instead of being where I am where it has rained all day & the wind is whipping & the temps have been cold. Mom is doing better today. I was able to stay up all day without a nap. I actually made Mark a great breakfast, made homemade banana bread, & then for dinner Mom made homemade mac n cheese. I also did some housework & I did my 1st lesson in my new next book for college. I did the whole lesson & submitted the quiz & I aced it. I got a 100%!!! I was so afraid because it was quite tough. I guess sometimes I underestimate myself. I did the work & it paid off. I hope you are smiling down on me & you are proud of your Momma. 
 Mark has a face to face interview tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that he likes it & they give him an offer. I know that he is getting worried just as much as I am about not having a job but I stand behind him because that is what a wife does for a husband. I know that he is trying & I know he will land the right job. Again, everything happens for a reason. Mark has another one on Friday afternoon. I hope that one goes well too. I know you are working your magic from where you are for us & we both appreciate it. I feel that he will have a job by the end of the week & we will be back in the clear so we will no longer have to stress out about anything. 
 The pups are doing good. Healthy but driving Mom insane at times. It is so hard to juggle them, college classes & all the other things I have to do,but I am still learning. I will get into a pace that works for us all. I would like to also start doing my work outs when I feel better again. I could use the extra energy that I use to have plus I know Mom has gained some weight & I am not happy about that. I would like to be on the thinner side again. I will do this... I have the will power. Mark & I also agreed that we will be starting to eat healthier. The summer days are ahead with the warm sunshine & the cold salads & BBQ food. I eat way healthier in the summer than winter. I love all the fruits & veggies. I will keep you updated on my progress.
 Oh yeah, I found a new daily prayer book. I saw it when I was waiting for my prescription to be filled the other day. I was so happy. I thought that I would start with doing the 1st one tonight. I hope you will enjoy it again as much as I will. Here goes it for Tuesday, May 19th~ The Lord recompense thy work, & a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. Today I am tired, Lord. There seem to be too many things on my to-do-list & too few hours in the day. And still, I know what a blessing it is to have work to do & to live a purpose-filled life. Thank you for tasks large & small that give meaning to our days Lord. May we always do each one as if we were doing it only for you. And may we never assume we can do anything without your direction & energy. Amen. 
 Last night the stars were shining bright. I looked to the sky & I whispered to you. Hope you heard Mom's voice. I will do it again this evening in an hour or so when I walk the pups for the last time tonight. I am not sure if I will see them as the sky is still overcast & cloudy but I will hope. I will whisper to you again as I always do. Be listening for Mom's voice. I hope that you have a peaceful night & may it be all that you need it to be. If you rest may you have the sweetest dreams tonight & Mom is hoping to see you in her own dreams as well. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will forever be in my heart, mind, & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo.Muah!
