Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you last night but the whole day was pretty crazy. Mom did some housework in the morning, took the pups for a long walk & then jumped right into doing my last lesson in my class. I finished that around 3:45 pm & my final exam was released. I was looking at it & saw it was only 35 questions so I decided to give it a try. I printed it out knowing I was only allowed to submit it once so whatever the grade was is what I got. I was rolling right along & before I knew it it was 6 pm & I submitted the exam. Mom received a 92 for a grade. I missed 2 questions. I am so proud of myself. 6 weeks of lessons, assignments, activities, quizzes & writers cramp was so well worth it. I have all my CEUs now to keep my certification! Thank you for being by my side daily through it all. Now on Monday I am back to my college classes & I am not looking forward to the computer application course.... I definitely will need you as you were so good with computers. Mom never fed the pups or got dinner going until 7 pm. I felt bad but after that I was just so tired. Mark & Mom sat outside while he had a cigar. It was nice to just unwind & enjoy the night view of the skyline. We came in about 8:30 pm & watched TV until 10:30 pm. Mom was pretty tired. We got woken up at 2:30 am with kids throwing off fireworks on the soccer field. Of course it scared Princess & Ozzy & they were shaking. Took a bit to calm them down but we did it & managed to fall back to sleep again for a couple hours. 
 The weather yesterday was 70 degrees & sunny & today the weather is 65 & partly sunny. Mom is enjoying this weather so much. The balcony door is open & fresh air is coming in. All the snow is melting & it sure is muddy but I will take it still! Mom didn't see the stars & moon shining bright last night which surprised me a little & I know I won't see them tonight as later in the day it is going to get cloudier & rain will be hitting us. Mom will make sure to whisper to you as I always do. Be listening out for my voice & smile. I will too!
 Meme called me last night to let me know that Aunt Beck made it home safely Thursday night. I was happy to hear that. I have tried to get in touch with her Friday & today but no luck. I am sure I will chat with her soon. I am sure she is busy catching up on things. Meme also called me this morning to let me know that she was in a car accident. Everyone involved are ok & no one got hurt, thank God! Unfortunately Meme's car is totaled in the front & the other vehicle is too. She is pretty shaken up about the whole thing. I am sure you were with her during that time so thank you my sweet precious son. Mom does not have anymore updates for you at this time but I am sure to have some in the next few days. 
 Here are the daily prayers I need to catch up on: February 24~ I lie down & sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me. At last! What a day it has been! I thought I 'd never get to this moment, dear Lord. Thank you for the ways you were there for me today. I really sensed your presence throughout the day. Please work things out for me tomorrow, too & please give me a good night's sleep. Let's talk again in the morning. Amen. Sleep.....knits up the raveled sleeve of care.....sore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds.....chief nourisher in life's feast. Amen.
 February 25~ Young men & women alike, old & young together! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his glory is above earth & heaven. Dear Lord, you know I have my ways of worshipping you. There are certain songs I like & certain actions I'm accustomed to. There's a certain style I've learned that really makes me feel close to you. But I know you're a big God & you have a lot of worshippers. Different ages & genders & also different cultures----everyone can bring their own styles to worship. It's not always easy for me to worship you in someone else's style, but I can try. That's what it means to be a congregation, I guess----to be a family, to be the people of God. I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons & your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams & your young men shall see visions. Amen. 
 Mom is caught up! It is that time of night again where I need to get going to get food for the pups & get things set for Mark & I. I hope that you will have a peaceful night doing everything you need to do & want to do. Come visit Mom tonight if you can. Be by my side so I can get some sleep. Thanks pumpkin! I miss you bunches & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I will be back tomorrow to write you another letter but until then.....good night & sweet dreams! 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. I did get to chat with Aunt Beck today! It was so good hearing her voice. She is doing well. Just relaxing & getting readjusted to everything here again in the states.
