Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom wanted to apologize to you & everyone who reads my letters. Mom was so busy yesterday that I did not even turn my computer on at all when we got home & this is the first time today ( it is already 4:22 pm. ) These last few days have been super crazy with traveling to NH for the Holiday & then yesterday traveling back home. We did make great time & there was no traffic for us so we were very thankful for that! The weather was great too to drive home. No snow. It was sunny & cold but the roads were dry & bare. Today the weather is so cold. It was sunny again but the temps were only 18 degrees & with the wind chill factor it brought the temps to almost 0 degrees. In NH it is -15 below. I am sure you remember those days. It was so hard on you & Mom is so glad that you no longer have to deal with it. Yesterday when we got home, Mark unloaded the vehicle as Mom was putting stuff away. I did not think it was going to take as long as it did. I thought...maybe an hour at the most...nope...4.5 hours later I finally finished. I was able to get dinner done by 6:30 pm & after that I did dishes & Mom was so sore & tired from everything that I went & watched TV in bed & fell asleep around 10 pm. I got up this morning & I was not feeling all that well but I managed to make breakfast for Mark & I, did those dishes & then Mark started to rearrange his office so Mom decided to help him. That turned into almost 3 hours. I then had to dust everything & vacuum & now I am doing another load of laundry. Guess it is going to be another late dinner for us & an early night to bed again. Mark is back at work in the morning & Mom will be running around doing errands & then I will come home & study for a little bit. Just a few more days ( 4 to be exact ) until the new year. Mom is ready to see what is in store for 2018. I am hoping that it will be a lot of positive things, good health for me, Mark, our family, friends & pets, hope we get to do some traveling, hoping that I finish college in a few months so I can graduate & then wishing for a lot less drama. we will see!
Christmas was a good time. Mom started telling you about it on your letter Christmas night but I was so tired. I couldn't even see straight. We spent the day at Meme's house with her, Bob, Grandpa & Debbie. We had a good time. Lots of laughs, good food & some good wine! We sure were spoiled by everyone. It was not expected at all in the least. Everyone did way too much. The gifts were all very thoughtful & nice but being with our family was the best. I spent a lot of time with Meme. It was nice. I miss that. I think she liked it too. We didn't get to see everyone because of all the bad weather & lots of snow so we are going to make another trip up there in February. Mom is going to also try to see Bean soon too. I did see a picture of her & her new BF. She looks very happy. Probably the happiest I have ever seen her, actually. That was nice. Not much else is really new. We have just been really busy putting things away that we received as gifts & rearranging things. They have been very long 4 days that is for sure. Did you hear us all when we were talking about you on Christmas? I hope so. I hope you smiled. We all sure did & had a few laughs too. We all miss you so much. Mom misses you like crazy. I hope you ornament is still down there. I hope it didn't get buried in all the snow or break. If so I will make sure to look for another one to replace it for you. I thought you would like it.
Today is a special day for a couple reasons: It is Bean's birthday today so make sure you stop on by to give her a sign today. She had to work so I left her a message. I will try to call her again later. I know she went out to lunch with Aunt Beck too. The second reason it is special is that today is also Mark & Mom's 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Brandy was kind enough to share her special day with us. Mark & Mom had been together for 6 years total. We will celebrate it this weekend as Mark worked today as well. We exchanged gifts already but he surprised me with another one today as well. It was sweet. I know we fight at times but he really does try hard to. He tries hard to keep his promise to you. I hope you see that. Mom still doesn't know what that was but that is okay. You both do so that is what counts.
Mom needs to get going so that I can start dinner & the laundry is done. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. But before I go I will write a couple prayers to you & start the sayings again on tomorrows letter. Mom loves you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. I hope you have a peaceful night. Hope you do all the things that you need to do & want to do. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son.
Here are the prayers:
May the hilarious joy of the Lord be your strength today! May a fresh awakening of faith sturdy your steps. May a new song in your heart remind you that God has been good to you, and He'll be good again. May you raise your hands in praise because you are prized, loved, accepted, called, equipped, and sent to reach a world in need. Delight in God today. He will establish you. Rejoice in Him. He will strengthen you. Trust in Him. He will not fail you. Give your burdens to Him and wrap yourself up in His grace. You have what you need to abound in every good work. He's got you covered. A blessed and beautiful day to you this day!
You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands (Isaiah 55:12 NLT)!
May you embrace faith in ways great and small. May you bring God into every thought that concerns you. May you sense His tender loving care in every nook and cranny of your life. God loves your faith. He loves you. One day there’ll be no more tears, no more suffering, no more hardship. But today we have faith. We have His presence. And we have His promises. We have what we need until He comes for us. A blessed and beautiful night to you.
Good night & sweet dreams
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
