Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday evening? Mom is doing okay! Been another busy day for me but that is alright. Makes the time go by faster for me! Mom was up at 7 am. Mark let me sleep in & he was up with the pups at 6 am. That was nice of him! He had to get up & get motivated because he needed to get ready for his very long day today. He had to travel this morning to a customer site to prep his cutover for this evening. He will be home quite late tonight or I should say early tomorrow morning. Mom worries about him on these kind of days because he doesn't get the chance to stay hydrated or eat the way he should. He will be so tired when he gets home & has to get right back up in the morning & go to work. we were originally going to be leaving in the morning to head up to NH but I think that it would be best if we left either early afternoon or even early Saturday morning to go up there so that Mark can get some descent sleep. Guess we will make that decision later this evening when he gets home. 
 Mom was up & got ready, took the pups for a walk, cooked breakfast, cleaned up, packed the bags for myself & the pups, packed the Mother's Day gifts & studied all day long. I was able to submit 2 exams today. I got a 96 on one of them & the other I am awaiting the grade but I know it is in the 90's as well. Right now Mom's grade is sitting at a 98! I am super happy with this & I am really having fun in this class. I am really enjoying it a lot. Seeings how Mom is home while Mark is working tonight.... I am going to relax, watch a couple movies, paint my toe nails seeings how I already did the packing & then head to bed for the night. I am hoping to get some solid sleep tonight. That is much needed! Please be with Mark tonight when he is driving home. Keep him safe along with Mom & the pups! Thank you. Mom is very thankful for the clear night that he will have. No rain... just a night that will be in the 60's. 
 Last night was quiet. I spoke to Meme for a bit on the phone but that was it. The rest of the evening was eating dinner, doing the dishes & watching a couple shows before heading to bed. Mom did see a pretty painting in the sky. It was like cotton candy. Lots of pinks with so purple & blue. I took some pictures so I will share a couple on here tonight with you. Mom is hoping to see another sunset like that again this evening. They sure do make me smile! Later I will whisper to you like I usually do & I will light a candle in your memory. I hope when you see it burning bright you know it is for you my sweet precious son! 
 Mom is not sure if I told you already or not but this weekend...on Saturday I am having about 14 ladies gather with me to have a painting party for a couple of hours. We are going to be painting on wine glasses. Everyone has the choice of what type of glasses & what they want to paint on them. Mom is choosing to do dandelions that are blowing in the wind.... Mom will make a wish. When I get them finished on Saturday I will take a picture of them & show you on here on Sundays letter. I think it will be fun! Come be with me then & channel Mom's inner Picasso! 
 Mom has no updates for you at all at this time. I am sure to have some for you in the next couple of days though as I see a bunch of family & friends. Mom is hoping to get to go see Great Grammy at some point too. I haven't seen her in about 6 months. I miss her. I miss you so much! 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. Smile when you hear my voice tonight & Mom will smile back to you. I need to get going for now as it is after 5 pm & I have to feed the pups & get dinner for myself. Mom will be back tomorrow morning though with another letter to you so until then.... good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Mom also wanted to take a minute to continue to thank everyone who still reads my letters to you. Mom is approaching almost 5 years & I still have so many followers that read these letters to you each night. Many blessings to the ones who do in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, India & Turkey. It means the world to me. I sure hope I am helping some along the way!

Here is the prayer for the day:

Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God - Jesus, the Son of God. Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin. Hebrews 4:14-15, TEV

Dear Father in heaven, we look to Jesus Christ, who is at your right hand, through whom you have promised help for the whole world. Unite us with him so that we may receive authority to help all people according to your will. May your name be kept holy among us, for your children have every reason to rejoice in the Savior you have given them. We thank you for everything you have shown to those who believe in you. We pray to you, hasten the time when your day shall come with glory, the day when you will give the glory to Jesus Christ, when he will reign and triumph over all evil and bring the peace you have always wanted to give the world. We wait and long for this. Amen.
