Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday morning? Mom is doing okay. I was up early, fed the pups, made breakfast, got ready, took the pups for their morning walk, doing laundry & now I am writing to you. It is only 11:38 am & I have managed to accomplish all that in about 3 hours. Think that is pretty good. Mom is writing to you now because I am going to dedicate my day to studying & getting through a couple chapters of my course. I need to keep plugging along with it as I need to get this class done & finished so I can move forward. If I didn't write to you now then I know I would have been studying all day & then had to stop & get dinner going & feed the pups as well & there would have been very little time to write to you. I think this is the way that Mom will have to do all this for at least a month or so or however long it takes me to finish this class up. I need all the time I can get to pass this one. Mom is struggling hard with it. This is the 1st time in all the classes that I have taken. It sucks but I will not give up!
Today the sun is shining instead of raining like they said it was suppose to do. The temps are chilly & the wind is just whipping out there. They did say we were going to get high winds again for the 3rd day straight & boy they were not fibbing! Just crazy out there! Anyways....Yesterday was filled with decorating for Christmas here in the apartment. I know we usually do it after Thanksgiving but Mom just wanted to relax this next weekend & where it was raining, it was the perfect time to do it! Hope you like what Mom has done. I smiled a lot when I saw our ornaments. I remember all the memories that went with them. Yes... I did shed a tear or 2 but that is okay. Last night was nice & quiet. The phone did not ring once at all. Mom & Mark had dinner, we watched a movie & then decided to watch the football game. It was Cowboys against the Eagles. It was a tough game for sure & hard to watch but the Eagles won 37- 9. The Cowboys are struggling this year. They have no chance to be in the play offs so their season is pretty much done. Patriots however are doing really well. They are top of the NFL teams. 9 wins & 2 losses. Guess we may have a good chance of seeing them in the Super Bowl this year but really still too early to tell. I know you would be excited about that. They were one of your favorite teams. Mom smiles when I think of that! I did chat with Debbie online though last night while watching the game. She was saying that Grandpa is just starting to feel better. Hopefully he takes it easy this week & then will be back to himself & he can go to work. He hasn't been anywhere in 3 weeks. Debbie is now starting to come down with it. They both have had it pretty rough this whole month. Meme & Bob are doing well. Everything is good there as far as I know. Mom will touch base with Aunt Beck this week seeings how it has been over a month since we chatted. Mom has an appointment tomorrow for her nails so I will write to you when I get home. Mark will be at his office the next 2 days working his butt off. So glad that this is a short week for his work. He needs all the down time he can get. Please watch over us all my sweet precious son. Thank you so much for all you do. It means so much to Mom. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will make sure to whisper to you as I always do tonight when I go to bed & also when the sun sets & Mom lights her candles for the evening. I hope when you hear Mom, you will smile & I will definitely smile to you. That is all I have for you today but here are a couple prayers for you:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding. In all the ways acknowledge HIM & He will make your paths straight. Amen.
May Jesus tilt your chin upward so you can sense His smile and more clearly hear His voice. May He speak a surprising word of encouragement to you so you have the strength to keep marching onward. May He build a bridge where you least expect one. May He connect you with others who see the best in you. May you steward this training season with clarity, purpose, and conviction. May the things you've been hoping for and praying for culminate into one glorious answer that takes your breath away. And may your faith become sight sooner than later. He's making a way where there's been no way. You can trust Him.
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it (Isaiah 43:19 NIV)?
Here is a couple sayings for you as well:
I no longer look for the good in people. I search for the real because while good is often dressed in fake clothing, real is naked & proud no matter the scars.
I am worth being loved, I am worth being cherished, I am worth an effort. I am worth being somebody's everything.
Mom needs to get going now, Tyler. It is after 12 noon & I really need to get at least 3 hours of daylight studying in. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Hope your evening is everything you need & want it to be. I love you with all my heart & soul. You are my shining star! Fly high & free. Until tomorrow....good night & sweet dreams.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
