Dear Tyler,

Good morning my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday? Mom has been up for the last 3 hours. Early morning but so far I have accomplished a few things so I am happy with that! I decided to write to you now because I am going to take all my day time today & study & work on my exam. I am hoping that I get a lot done with it. wish me luck! Mom has already gotten ready, ate breakfast & took the pups for their morning walk. It is only 11:11 am. I think I am doing pretty good with that. Mark is working, pups are sleeping so now is the time that I get this letter written & start my day. 
 Last night was quiet for the most part. Mom did get the chance to chat with Grandpa & Debbie for a little bit & I also spoke to Meme. she was telling me that Bob is back to really shaking again where he can't hold a fork, plate, etc.... folks are thinking he may have an early onset to Parkinson's. When Mom heard that I became so sad real fast. I really hope not for his sake. I am hoping that doctors may be able to control it with a different type of medicine. Please help him if you can, Tyler. Thank you! everyone else is doing pretty good. Grandpa can go back to work today & Debbie is sounding & feeling a lot better then she did so that is good news. Mom had the chance to chat with a couple friends as well yesterday... Christina & Bonnie. That was really nice. I talk to Christina about every other week & I haven't chatted with Bonnie in a while. She is still in Oklahoma for the time being. In a few months she will have another great grandson. That will be an exciting time for all there. Other than that not much is going on. We have all determined that we will be having Christmas at Meme's again this year but this time we will be doing a breakfast instead of dinner because Debbie has to work in the afternoon. That is fine with me. It will break the day up & it won't be so rushed or extremely busy for everyone. Now Meme & Mom just has to come up with a menu for food & we are all set! Mark & Mom will be in NH for 4 days so that will be nice. Mom is hoping the weather is good so we don't run into any problems. That will be the only visit there for a few months or at least until winter is over. It will be a long 3 months not seeing anyone but Mark & Mom are really going to try & save money this year. We would like to start saving for a house but also we would like to go visit his family in Kentucky, Ohio & at the end of next year, around this time we are looking to finally go to Paris. Mom's dream come true! Mom is going to go get her passport & start taking a french class! I remember a little bit of what I learned in school but Mark is also going to be taking it. It will be exciting for us! Many things to look forward to in 2018! Mom will keep you updated on how things are going. That is all I got for today but here are a couple sayings:You are the painter of your own mood. Your days are only as grey as you allow them to be. 
 Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it hope. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.
 It's that heart of gold & stardust soul that makes you beautiful!
 Mom will post the prayers for the day at the bottom of this letter to you. I hope that tonight your evening will be filled with everything that you need & want it to be. May you get the time to be with Mom during the night & also get to visit me in my dreams. Keep those signs coming my sweet precious son! Mom will whisper to you as I always do every night so smile when you hear me & I will smile to you as well. I miss 7 love you more than words can say. To the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be in my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter so until then..... Good night & sweet dreams. Mom has to get going so that I can study. You are my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. here are the prayers:
 When the enemy tries to bait you into discouragement, may you instead take your courageous stand in Christ Jesus. When the devil tries to seduce you into despair, may you instead walk through the door of hope God has provided for you. When you're tempted to walk down jealousy's path, may you instead embrace your own beautiful purpose and take the high road God has set before you. There's a best place for your feet today. Choose life today!
  May Jesus Himself lift you up and make you strong. May He heal those hidden areas that surface time and time again. May He bring wholeness and health to your mind, body, and spirit. May He strengthen you and fill you with faith so you'll dare to take the risks He puts before you. May you take time in His presence so you'll remember how strong and mighty He is. And may your days be filled with sacred moments that remind you just how precious you are to Him! You are so dear to His heart. Have a blessed night tonight!

Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit (3 John 1:2 NIV).

P.S.S. Today is the last day for the Fall pictures. Hope you have enjoyed them as much as Mom has posting them for you. Today I thought it would be appropriate to post a Fall pic of the Eiffel Tower seeings how I was talking to you about it! Tomorrow is December 1st & the Holiday pics start!
