Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing tonight as it is Friday? Mom is doing fine today. The day went by quite quickly & I am glad. Mom is pretty tired tonight. Haven't really been sleeping all that well this past week but I know you already know this as you are always with me. Mark went & took his test today.... he is so smart. He passed with flying colors & it took him 28 minutes when it was a 90 minute test. Wow, huh? Mom researched what it was going to take to get mine going...looks like the end of next week or the beginning of the following week will be when I start my studying & the after my 45 days start to complete the certification. It is exciting & nerve racking all at the same time. I know that you will be with me every step of the way though. Mom is also finishing up the things necessary to become a complete resident of Massachusetts. Not happy about it & it is expensive but I need to do it. I know it won't be forever as we plan on moving in another couple years so I can deal with that. 
 Spoke to Meme last night. Things are good there. Bob is doing better since he stopped taking the medicine that was making him shaky & feel funny. That is good that things are back to their normal. Grandpa is good & Debbie is well too. She got the job she interviewed for on Tuesday. We are all happy & excited for her as it is more money, less driving & no state tax for her as she will be working in NH again. Only downfall is it is 2nd shift but she is ok with that. I am sure she will do just fine though! The pups are good. Spoiled as ever but that is the way it is suppose to be?  Think that is it for right now for updates. I will call Bean & Aunt Beck over the weekend as we will be getting some pretty crappy weather. We will be getting heavy rain again but back home they will be getting snow. They can have it..lol. Just want everyone to stay safe. Please continue to watch over us all like I know that you do. Thank you so much pumpkin. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I miss you like crazy. Some days are so much harder than others. I try so hard.. I really do. Just have patience with Mom. I will make you proud like you made me every day of your life here.
 Here is your daily prayer for today. January 15~ How great are his signs! And how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom & his dominion is from generation to generation. Regardless of what the future holds, I'm savoring all sorts of wondrous things I've been too busy to notice before. A thousands daily marvels bring a smile to my face. Through your grace, Lord, rather than thinking how sad it is that I missed them before. I'm delighted to be seeing & doing them now. These small wonders energize e, & for that I'm thankful. It's never too late to be a joyful explorer. Amen.
 The night sky is here once again. It seems to be somewhat clear but I don't see any stars or moon. It is ok though as I know you are indeed somewhere shining bright for someone to see. Mom will whisper to you as I always do each & every night. May you have a peaceful evening, rest if you can. Sweet dreams my sweet precious son. Come see me in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep. Thanks Ty! Remember you are forever in my heart, mind & soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
