Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Sunday afternoon? Mom is doing well but I need to say that I am so sorry for not writing you a letter like I said I was going to do after we got home. Mom honestly was so tired that I did nothing for the rest of the time we were home until we went to bed. Mom and Mark went to bed around 10 pm Friday night because we knew we had to get up early Saturday morning and we did... bright and early at 6 am. Mom got the pups fed, we got ready and then we were out the door at 9:30 am to make a 90 minute trip to go meet a Real Estate Agent. We have been eyeing one particular home for some time and we found out that we waited just a little too long because it sold. We were bummed quite a bit but Mom looks at it as it was not the house we are suppose to have. Anyways... we met the agent and we chatted for about an hour or so and then we looked at one house. Both Mark and I did not want to like it at all but when we saw it we both really did. We toured the entire place and it is big enough for us and it is really cute and a shorter commute for Mark to his office. We left there and grabbed lunch as it was after 1 pm and we discussed what we thought of the home, what we liked vs what we didn't like. The agent is keeping his eyes open for things for us so that is great to have someone helping. Mom and Mark found another house and we think we are wanting to take a look at it this coming weekend. We kind of need to act fast because our lease here is coming up and we need to say whether we are going to resign or we are not. That will be happening within a couple weeks. After we got home, we relaxed and still chatted about the house we looked at, had dinner and Mom spoke to Meme and Grandpa. Last night we watched Phantom of the Opera as Mom has never seen it and it was so good. That got over at 11 pm and Mom went straight to bed. Mark stayed up for a bit longer. This morning Mom was up at 6:30 am and I saw the sun rise. It was pretty. I took a couple pictures of it. I fed the pups, did the garbage, prepped things for dinner tonight, did laundry and then got ready. We were out the door at 11 am. We had to go grocery shopping and then Mom had her nail appointment. We got back home at 2:30 pm and Mom put everything away, hung up the wet laundry, dried the rest, and then got dinner going for us as it takes awhile to cook in the oven. We are having stuffed peppers and it smells amazing! Dinner will be ready by 5 pm. We will feed the pups, have dinner, Mom will clean up and then we have our skype call with Tubal and Karen tonight. After that will be dessert and watching TV as tomorrow is Monday and Mark is back to work and I start a new class. Mark needs to have a pretty low key day as Tuesday is going to be brutal for him with doing that cutover in the wee hours of the morning. The sun won't even be up by then when he has to get ready and leave. Tuesday is going to be a very long day for us both but worse for Mark. Mom will be speaking to Aunt Beck tomorrow as well because I have to interview her for one of my questions on my exam in my new class. This one is Career Development Strategies and it is another writing class....ugh! Mom will get threw it though! I have 4 classes after this one and then I am done. I can't wait. I have a couple other things I have to do for CEUs and then Mom will be back in school again for getting her degree in Business Management. That will be exciting for me and a double degree. I am looking forward to that very much and then I can go after my dream job which I will fill you in on at a later time....promise! 
 Today is the last day of September and it is also Grandpa and Debbie's 1 year Wedding Anniversary. Grandpa had to work today so they will be celebrating it tonight. Mom is not going to call them tonight but I will tomorrow though. Mom can't believe that it will be October 1st too. September flew by so fast. Someone was saying that there was 13 Fridays until Christmas...ugh! I don't even want to think about that yet as that is winter and you know what comes with that.... the dreaded S word...lol! 
 Later tonight Mom will light the candle for you and whisper to you when I go to bed just like I do every night. Smile when you hear my voice and I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. I sure hope that your night will be everything that you need and want it to be. Come visit me in my dreams if you can or sit beside me tonight so I can get some rest. Thank you. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Please continue to watch over us all and lead Mom to the paths I need to be on and need to be taking. Thank you. I miss you bunches and I love you with all my heart, mind, body and soul. You are forever in my heart, mind, body and soul. You are the wind beneath my wings. Until tomorrow ...... 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray for the day:

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, in the world we are full of fear; in you we have peace. We pray that your Spirit may give us the joy of your heavenly kingdom and the strength to live in your service. Remember those who suffer pain, who still have to walk paths of fear and distress. Grant them help, to the glory of your name. May we be united in hope and in expectation of what you will give through your great goodness and faithfulness. Amen.
