Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I am very tired but I am not going to complain as Mom knows that Mark is even more tired than I am.... he has to be. Well, we left Williamstown last night at 6:15 pm. Mark didn't get to the Inn until 6 pm & he decided that driving home was going to be the best solution to our problem as today, Thursday was checkout & that was at 11 am. Mark was suppose to be at his client for just a half day but after yesterday it looked like it would be another full day there again...Mark is basically there until the dang things work so he does not have to go back again. There would be no place for Mom & the pups to go while he was working so we really had no choice but to leave. During our travels last night we got caught in some pretty heavy rainfall. At times it was so bad that neither Mark or Mom could see the road at all. It was scary but Mark did a fantastic job driving. Mom was whispering & praying to you the whole way home. I know you heard me. thank you for watching over us during that drive. It meant so much to me. We got home around 9:30 pm. Mom called Meme & Grandpa just to let them know we were back & why. I will call them later on to chat with them. Mom put all the stuff away & then basically had some water to drink & headed straight for bed. Mark needed to get up at 4 am so he could make the drive back to Williamstown & be there for 9 am. I felt so bad for him. Mom was up at that time too... if he had to be then it was only fair that I was as well. I made coffee & gathered some snacks so that he could eat during the drive. Mom did not go back to sleep. I laid in bed & looked through emails, pinterest & played a couple games until 8 am. Then I got up, gave the pups a bath, made breakfast for myself & then got ready. After that I started to do laundry. That has been my nightmare today. I don't know what got into the laundry but something did ( like a tissue ) & it got all over the clothes. I am having a hard time getting it out of it. I have done 4 cycles of laundry & it still is not working. If it doesn't come out this next time I will have no other option than to throw the stuff away & Mom will be very upset about that. ( Well, mom had to take a quick pause because the laundry was finished & to my surprise all the stuff came off Marks things but not Mom's. I am drying some of them to see if that helps but one of my favorite shirts I think is toast because I can not dry it.... we will see. ) Tomorrow Mom will be doing dusting & vacuum cleaning so that I do not have to do anything over the weekend. I had to cancel a nail appointment yesterday & I rescheduled it for Saturday morning. It is a good thing too... yesterday I broke 2 nails & this afternoon while doing laundry Mom snapped a nail right off.... It was bleeding & everything. I have a couple bandaids on it right now. It is so sore & throbbing. Good thing I have a couple of days to toughen that one up before I go to the salon. Yikes... that is going to hurt but Mom will be just fine! 
 Mom needs to ask another favor of you, Tyler.... Mark has been on the road since early this morning & as you know he is still very very tired....he has been at the college since 9 am & is working his butt off to get things done. As of yesterday we were not sure if he would have to spend the night again tonight & work there on Friday or if he would be driving home after dark this evening. Mom still doesn't know because mark has not called me to tell me. This morning when he left he did not pack an overnight bag but that still really doesn't mean anything at all. Please be with him while he is there & especially if he is driving back tonight. I want him to be safe. It will be raining so that will make his eyes more tired than normal. I just want Mark home safe & sound this evening. Thank you my sweet precious son. Please watch over Mom & the pups as well. Thank you!
 Nothing new to update you on at all. I think I just gave you everything that I know of. I will start to touch base with everyone later this evening or tomorrow. Mom needs to just get some sleep tonight so that I am well rested & ready to start the day in the morning. Our whole routine is off but things will get back to normal in a couple of days. Mom will fill you in when I have anything to share! Here are the daily prayers for the day:
 May you open your hands and entrust your cares to God. Right this minute. Know this: Jesus knows your name, has your address and loves who you are. He will get you where you need to go. He will reach out to the ones you love. He will validate and vindicate you at the proper time. May you see and believe that you're safest when you're at His feet, trusting Him to do what you cannot do for yourself. May your soul find rest in Him today.
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him (Psalm 62:1 NIV).

 May God give you glimpses of the new beginnings He has for you. May you stay in step with Him and trust Him in the meantime. May God give you joyful contentment in the place He has you now. May you faithfully steward your current assignment, as you wait for God to move you. May you see the treasure of trusting the timing of your dreams to God. He is with you and He cannot, will not, fail you. Sing for joy tonight and trust Him fully with your tomorrows.
Verse: You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand (Psalm 139:5-6 NLT)!
 Mom really doesn't have a saying prepared for today. I am so sorry but I will make it up to you tomorrow by writing a couple of them. My eyes are very tired right now & it is so hard to try to sty awake. I am probably going to get off the computer so that I can just sit on the couch & relax & watch some TV with the pups on my lap. Maybe just relaxing will help Mom out. I hope that your evening will be everything that you need & want it to be. Come be with Mom tonight & visit me on my dreams if you can. I would love that. I know there won't be any stars in the sky shining bright or the moon as it is still raining here & has been all day long. I will light a candle in a bit & whisper to you then & later tonight as well. Smile when you hear Mom. I will smile back to you! 
 I miss you so much, Tyler. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then..... good night & sweet dreams my shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
