Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Happy October 1st! Mom is doing okay but boy am I really tired today. Everything that I did in the last few days has finally caught up to Mom...lol! I am trying to multitask right now by writing to you & prep dinner for Mark & I tonight. You know how Mom is with that...lol! Anyways....
 The last three days have been exhausting but really fun! Mom & Mark arrived in NH Thursday afternoon & basically had the evening to ourselves as we needed the time to unwind & get ready for the days ahead. Friday morning started everything. We were up early & met Grandpa & Debbie. We were supposed to be able to decorate the hall but when we got there we were told that we couldn't & we had to do it Saturday morning...right before the wedding. OMG... boy was Grandpa & Debbie upset about that but Mark & Mom did all we could for them not to be upset & to stay calm. Mark went with Dad & I took Debbie to go get all the things that she needed for the food. We were gone for about 2 hours or so. We got lunch & then headed back up to Grandpa's house. We had some lunch & then Mark & Grandpa left so that they could go run their errands as well. They were gone for a couple hours too. Debbie & Mom prepped all the food while they were out & then chit chatted afterwards. Mark & Mom never left their house until 5:30 pm. we got back to the hotel, fed the pups & then Meme, Bob, Auntie Kristi & our cousin Kathy all showed up within minutes of one another. We all had dinner together & Auntie Kristi & Kathy stayed until 10 pm. After that Mom was so tired, I went to bed but did not get to sleep as Princess was sick most of that night & morning. Saturday morning, we were up early again & on the road at 9 am to drop the pups off to Meme & Bob. We took off & met Grandpa & Debbie at the hall. We started to decorate the hall & Debbie had to leave. Mom took over & finished everything up with the help of Grandpa & Mark for a little bit. Once Mom was done decorating, I had to start prepping the food & then get ready. After all that was done I still had about 40 minutes to mingle & chat with everyone that was there. The ceremony started at 1 pm. It was such a sweet ceremony & Mom's friend married them. She did a wonderful job. Everyone liked the decorations & food & just loved everything about the day. It made Mom smile for sure. At one point Debbie knew her son was there & Mom knows you were there as well. I wonder if you boys went together? Did you hear Grandpa sing? Boy was Mom shocked at that! Everyone looked at me & I was like..." I didn't know. " Mom has never heard Grandpa sing like that! Boy, I will say that that took some b*lls to do what he did... no music...just his voice. He said he practiced for about 3 weeks. Wow.... Mom video taped it all so I have it. What great memories. I got to spend time with Aunt Jacqui, Uncle Dick, Aunt Shirley, Grammy Richard, Johnny, Meme, Bob & also got to meet some of our extended family now as well. Everyone is so nice. I really like them! After all that was done, Mark & Mom drove back home. I wrote you a small letter last night while in the car but it couldn't be too long as the sun was setting & I was having a hard time seeing the dang phone. We made it home around 8:15 pm last night as we got stuck in traffic the last 10 miles & it took 40 minutes to get through it. Mark & Mom got the pups settled & then brought everything upstairs. I put mostly everything away & then made something to eat. I think I crashed at 10 pm just to be awake at 11 pm. Mom was sick as it was way to late to eat & then head to bed. Guess I can't do that anymore. Mom got about 3-4 hours of rest. Too bed early tonight for sure as my eyes are heavy already. 
 Today, Mark had his class that he went to this morning. Mom finished with putting everything away, doing laundry, & decorating for the Halloween/ Autumn season. I enjoyed just listening to music & doing all those things. It was a little bit of me time! Now it is 5:25 pm & I am getting ready to finish up dinner for us & then relaxing for the night. Mom will catch up with everyone later in the week as Mark is still on vacation. I will update you as I know of things. Mom is hoping you have a wonderful evening doing everything you want & need to do. Come visit Mom if you can. I would love that! I will whisper to you later as well so be listening for my voice. Smile & I will smile right back to you! Remember forever you are my hero, the wind beneath my wings & my shining star! You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul forever. 
 Before I go, here are a couple prayers for you for the day: 
 May you determine to travel lighter starting now. May you—with your God-given authority in Christ—demand that the enemy shut his mouth and leave you alone. May you discern the baggage of man-made obligations and lay them down. May you decide to fling aside your own self-condemning thoughts and wrap yourself up in God’s beautiful grace and righteousness instead. And, may you march on from here, full of faith, empowered by grace, and awakened by God’s love, and walk as one who’s been spoken for by God above. May your latter days be far more blessed than your former days. Jesus is always up to something new. Bless you
  If you’re in a season of hardship and life feels like an uphill climb, may you stay the course until Jesus tells you otherwise. May you determine NOT to make any rash decisions that you’ll later regret. May you instead, fix your eyes on Jesus and take your cues from Him. May you trust Jesus to carry your burden so you can hold fast to His promises. May you exhale frustration and inhale God’s peace and provision. This season will pass. And you’ll come through it with strength, clarity, and conviction. Don’t take the enemy’s bait. Follow the Savior’s lead. You’ll be glad you did. Blessings on your night tonight!
 Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you my sweet precious son! Until then good night & sweet dreams. I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Tonight starts the pictures of Jack for the entire month so enjoy! I love you more than all the stars in the sky xoxoxo.
