Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this beautiful sunny Monday evening? Mom has been up since the a** crack of dawn because I couldn't sleep and I have literally been studying all day long. It is going on 4:30 pm and I am plumb tuckered out right about now. My eyes are buggy too from looking at the computer for as long as I have today. Mom was showered, dress, and ready by 9 am. I made breakfast, ate, did the dishes and came right to studying. I managed to do one exam that was 50 questions and another exam that was 50 questions plus a paper that i had to write. I feel pretty confident on the last exam but not so much on the one before. I think I will pass both of them but what grade I will get will be determined. That means with both of them being done, I will be submitting them tomorrow and I will be all set to do my proctor exam on Wednesday morning. I will have completed that entire course in 7 days and 3 whole courses in less than 1 month. Mom is cooking! I have 10 more courses to go and that will be it. I will be graduating! Its been a long 2 years for sure. Mom is still on Deans List and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. I am very happy with that. Mom will keep you posted and let you know my grade when I get them tomorrow.
 Last night I spoke to Grandpa and Debbie for a little bit. Not long though as Grandpa was really tired from working all day. He was going to be busy all day today so I said that I would call him tonight to chat but I think I will wait until tomorrow as Mom is so tired tonight. Meme never called back like she said that she would but I am sure she was pretty tired as well. Aunt Shirley messaged me to tell me that she was going in for a procedure this week. Mom is praying for her. This procedure is nothing to do with her eyes, it is something else. Mom will find the time to call Aunt Beck tomorrow as well. Auntie Kristina called me today too. We chatted for a bit. She is going to go visit with you on June 20th for a bit and so is Sam. Mom is very grateful for that. I know Grandpa, Meme and my friend, Gary go visit you quite often. Mom is so upset that I can't go up there this month but I will be there the weekend of July 21st for a wedding so I will be there to visit with you just a few days shy of you 28th Birthday. Mom will be bring you something special. That is about all I have for you for updates today.
 Th weather is so nice and sunny. Mom and Mark will be talking the pups for a nice walk in a little bit. We didn't earlier because Mom went straight to studying and he was working and on the phones all day long. Today went by pretty fast though. The sun is still shining and Mom is itching to get out there before we have dinner tonight. The sunset last night was amazing! OMG..... it was beautiful. Mom took pictures of it and whispered to you saying you were pretty busy painting that sky for Mom. You must have been tired! Hope you heard me when I said that. I will whisper to you again later tonight as well. I will get that candle lit too. Hopefully I will get to see another sunset like last night. I would love for everyone to see one this weekend when they are here. Guess Mom is putting her request in 5 days early...lol! Mom is hoping that you have some fun tonight while I am getting some much needed sleep. Come visit with me in my dreams tonight if you can. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I need to get the pups fed and get our dinner going for the evening too. I miss you like crazy and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. Forever you are my hero, the wind beneath my wings. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow my sweet precious son, good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer:

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:5, 7, NIV

Lord our God, we turn our hearts and minds to you. Be with us and grant us your Spirit. May your Word be a blessing for us. We thank you that this Word is given us in Jesus Christ, our Savior. Almighty God, stretch out your hand over the whole world. Let your Spirit bring a new age, an age of truth, righteousness, and love, an age of peace that comes from you. O Lord God, we are your children, and as your children we pray to you in the name of Jesus Christ. You will hear us, and we look forward with joy to the time when all promises will be fulfilled, the time spoken about by the prophets, and especially by your Son, Jesus Christ. Be with us and gather us in your Spirit. Amen.
