Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is hoping that you are somewhere sunny & warm & it is still a day sky. Here it is dark, but the weather was just right. 70 degrees & sunny. Couldn't have asked for anything better as far as the weather. Sorry mom didn't write to you last night. I studied until 6 pm & then fed the pups & made dinner for myself as Mark was working last night at a client. i sat down to watch tv & then ended up going to bed around 11 pm. Ozzy got us up again during the night. He now has been sick for over a week. Vets don't know why either. Please continue to watch over him so that he gets better & stops being so sick. Mom is worried as you already know. Thank you so much!
 Haven't spoken to anyone in a couple days. Been pretty quiet so I have no updates for you. Maybe tomorrow I will though. Mark work long hours again today. His toe that he broke is still hurting him pretty badly but he is being a trooper. Mom studied again today. 2 more Lessons done. I now have 7 more chapters to go & I am finished the course. Still have a 4.0 GPA so I am really happy about that. Learning a lot of things & boy this course is challenging for Mom. I still like it though. Aunt Beck is still on her vacation. We haven't spoken since the 8th of September...so that is 16 days. She will be back home over the weekend. Mom is sure they are having a wonderful time & they are safe with you watching over them! 
 Mom has another couple daily prayers to catch up on so here they are. September 23~ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, & ye are not your own? How marvelous our bodies! May we care for them today with all the reverence & honor we might extend toward any great gift that defies explanation. 
 September 24~ For my brethren & companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Enter & bless this family, Lord, so that its circle will be where quarrels are made up & relationships mature; where failures are forgiven & new directions found. 
 Yet again, all caught up. Hopefully tomorrow Mom will be able to write to you & keep the daily prayers within the day that they need to be in again. I was doing really good for awhile but as my lessons in my studies got longer & harder, Mom was studying more & longer hours. My brain was fried from it all & my eyes were so sore from studying. I know you understand, but I love writing to you & it still makes me feel closer to you in so many ways. 
 The evening sky is dark & clear but Mom sees no stars & moon shining bright. Weird, but maybe in a little bit I will. As always I will whisper to you. Hope you hear Mom. Hope my voice makes you smile when you hear it. Thinking of you makes me smile most of the time. Other times it makes me tear up & be sad still. One day at a time. Mom is hoping that your night will be full of happy things where you go & what you learn. Please watch over us all. Mom needs you so much. Thank you. Hope you have sweet dreams if you get a chance to rest. Hope I see you in my dreams tonight as well. 
 I miss you like crazy. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Auntie Kristina said she went to visit with you the other day for some time. Glad to hear this. I know she spoke to you for some time, laughed, shed some tears. Thank you for helping her out. She needed that. Love you xoxoxo.
