Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom again has had a busy day here. I have not done any studying but I was able to do some laundry, pay bills, chat with Debbie for like an hour while Grandpa was at work, walked the pups & a few other things as well. My intentions was to study all day but Mom was up early this morning & I made a nice breakfast seeings how Mark was home today & then I started cleaning & got all distracted. I will however study all day Friday & maybe over the weekend as it is suppose to be a crappy mess with snow & rain. I need to get back into it. I need to get this class done & over with. I am really tired of it & need to more on! Help Mom out, Ty! I sure could use it. The weather today has been sunny & the temps were not so bad. Mom was pleasantly surprised for sure. Think tomorrow is going to be colder out but cloudy. Last night was a very quiet night. Mark got home, we had dinner & Mom had a bad headache so we watched TV for a bit & then went to bed. Mark had the chance to come home, eat & then do more work. He didn't stop until 8 pm or so. He has been straight out today too. He is not feeling well at all so tonight will be another night of eating dinner & watching a movie then going to bed. That is okay as he needs his rest like I needed it last night. Quiet nights are good. I think the weekend will be just as quiet for us. 
 Mom wanted to write to you earlier today for a couple reasons.... I have a lot of prep work for dinner tonight & it will take me a bit to do it all & at 4 pm one of my friends is calling me. I guess she is having a rough day today & she needed to chat. I will be on the phone with her for a bit I think. Mom will probably give Grandpa a call tonight as well if Mark is sleeping. I will touch base with Meme & Aunt Beck maybe tomorrow or at least over the weekend. Not much else has been going on since yesterday. The days for some reason feel so much shorter than normal. Maybe because of the rain, clouds, crappy weather but Mom is not sure. It is weird. The sun is rarely out this last couple of months. Mom is in desperate need of having some though. The rain is good & all & I understand that we need it but this kind of weather is very depressing to me. I try not to let it but it always gets the best of me. Mom is trying to even have a better attitude about the snow. We live in a place that gets it, we can't control it so I need to have a better attitude. Mom is even thinking of going walking in it at times & embracing it this year. Usually I just stay home & do nothing but that is no fun. I told Mark I wanted to have a snowball fight & make a snowman. That will be fun. Mom will keep you posted of that...lol! Today, Mark surprised me with my Christmas gift. It was tickets to see Celtic Woman in April. Not only are they tickets but they are Meet & Greet as well. Mom went about 6 years ago to see them in NH. I got to meet them then too. The whole group has changed & all the woman are different so it will be a completely different show for me. I am really excited. I thought it was such a sweet gift for Mark to do for Mom. That is all I have for today so here are the sayings & daily prayers for you:
 " You're gonna be happy said life,but first I'll make you strong"
 "Life is like a book... some chapters are sad, some happy & some exciting. But if you never turn the page.... you will never know what the next chapter holds. "
" Be grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with the people you love. Life is so very precious. "
  May God Himself overwhelm you with His goodness and His grace. May He open doors NO man can close! May your steps be so ordered by the Lord that you’re always in the right place at the right time. May the power of the Holy Spirit compel you to live by faith, to take great risks, and to believe for GREAT things. May that same Holy Spirit constrain you to trust God’s timing, to obey Him when it doesn’t suit you, and to refuse to take matters into your own hands. His will for you is your best-case-scenario. Have a great day.
  May you speak life over your life, starting tonight. Speak to your mountains and tell them to move in Jesus’ Name! Speak to your fears and tell them that Jesus’ love is perfect is greater still. Speak to your soul and remind yourself that God is always good. Speak to any obstacle that blocks your view of the Son and His radiance, and tell it to be tossed into the sea! May your faith combined with God’s goodness move you to a place of grace and peace. And every which way you turn, may you see evidence that God is at work an involved in your life. Sleep well tonight!
 Mom is hoping that your evening will be filled with everything you need & want it to be. Come be with Mom tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will whisper to you as I always do every night so be listening out for Moms voice. Smile when you hear me & I will smile back to you. Remember that you are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then.... Good night & sweet dreams my shining star! 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
