Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday evening? It is after 5 pm already and Mom has been busy busy busy all day long. This is the first time I have logged into my computer today and after this I will be turning it off as well. Pups have been fed but I haven't started making dinner yet for Mark and I. I will do that right after I write to you briefly.Mom wanted to write to you without skipping a night because I promised you last night that I would! Anyways...
 Mom is listening to music while I am writing and guess what sound is on right now? Wind Beneath My Wings is playing. Thank you so much for the sign to tell Mom that you are with me right now. I am in tears. I have goosebumps all throughout my body too so I know you are near Mom. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you so much. No words can express it to anyone. I miss you more than words but I think you know that and feel that deep within your soul. Just like the song says.... You are the wind beneath my wings and you always will be. You are my hero and will forever live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. You were and will always be my everything, Tyler! To the moon and back and all the way around the world is how much I love you. Thank God for you pumpkin.
 Mom has been busy all day today and I will tell you why. Yesterday Mom and Mark sat down and made a very important decision. We decided that it would be in the best interest that we would not pursue looking for a house right now. We are going to save save save all this coming year and we will be in a better stop next year to do this. We are not going to be staying in our apartment either. We are actually transferring to another one here in the same complex that we live in. This one is the furthest away from the soccer field so we are hoping that we will not be hearing the fireworks anymore or if we do they are a little bit duller than they are for us now. We are hoping that we are doing the right thing for the pups and us as well. This apartment is bigger. We have a 3rd bedroom so when everyone comes to visit we have room for all now. The dining room and kitchen is bigger and so is the master bedroom and master en suite. I think it will take some to get used to the place but we will settle in nicely since we have been here for 5 years almost. All this is going to be taking place in 3 weeks. Mom still has to study daily and Mark has to work but we will slowly be packing things up over the next few weekends. We are going to take our time and not get overwhelmed at all. We want this to be an easy transition for all. So today Mom has been going room to room and looking at all we have and purging things that we don't use or that we didn't want. I made it through all the rooms and tomorrow I will be doing the closets. That won't be too difficult as we only have 2...lol! Mark took 7 garbage bags full of stuff to the dumpster. Mom has down a lot today and I am feeling it. My back, legs and shoulders hurt but that is okay. This weekend I have to study one of those days because I haven't for the past 2 days and I do not want to fall behind. I got a 100% on the exam that I just submitted a couple days ago. I was happy with that! Mark is crazy busy at work but will be taking some time off when we move so that will be a huge help! We let Grandpa, Debbie, Meme and Bob know last night and only 2 friends know as well as of right now. We will let them all know in time. Mom wanted to let you know that I will be writing to you probably in the mornings for a bit before studying so I have the evening to do the cooking and also to pack things for a bit each night. If I miss a night here and there then just know it won't be more than a day. You will see how busy we are and I know you will understand. Mom will keep you posted though. 
 I have no updates for you at all. This week has been very quiet for the phones. Maybe I will have some over the weekend for you. I have a new candle burning for you and I will whisper to you later this evening. Smile for me and I will smile back. Mom hopes that your evening will be fun and filled with all kinds of things that you want and need to do. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you in the evening time as we will be busy packing some stuff up all day tomorrow and Sunday. Its time for Mom to get going as it is 5:30 pm and we won't be eating until 6:30 pm or so. Good night and sweet dreams and always know I love you with all my heart and soul.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

He says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth." Isaiah 49:6, NIV

Mighty God, we thank you for sending your light into all the world to reveal that you are the Father of all, to show us that you are leading them to yourself, the good and the bad, those who are near to you and those who are far away. We thank you that through all this your name may be acknowledged and honored. We thank you that we may live from your hand and that everyone may see your work on earth and be filled with praise. May the light which you have sent to earth in Jesus Christ shine brightly for us and penetrate our hearts so that we open ourselves to it with joy, and worship the Savior. Bless us and give us your Spirit; without your Spirit we can do nothing. May we receive help from you every day. Amen.
