Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? I have to say that Mom is dragging butt today. Just as I suspected I did not get much sleep last night due to the plow trucks. It started snowing here around 10 pm. Mom feel asleep around 11:15 pm and I was up a few times during the night plus the plows started around 2 am and Mark was up at 5 am and I was up at 7 am. I was out of bed this morning and making breakfast at 8:30 am. We ate around 9 am and then Mom did dishes and then decided that I would start studying because it was so early and then I would take a shower and get ready.... well...it is 3 pm and Mom has been trying to focus on studying all day long and I still have not gotten ready at all...lol. I am just having a hard time with this final exam. It is driving me nuts. I decided to put it away for a bit and write to you to see if that would help me. We will see. Mom went into her college site and I wrote down all the classes that I have finished and what my grades were.... I have completed 22 courses and my grade is sitting at an 93~ A. Mom is super happy. I have 20 A's and 3 B's. After this course I think I will have 20 A's and 4 B's. I am okay with that! Mom is going to work on her studies over the weekend to get a head start on my last course so that I will be completely down by next Friday! It will feel amazing! I will keep you posted my sweet precious son as I know that you have been by my side through it all and you are so proud of Mom. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the strength I needed when I didn't think I could do it. It means more to Mom then I could ever express but I know that you feel it deep in your soul. 
 Last night was quiet here. Mom and Mark had dinner, I cleaned up the dishes, and then Mark was on the phone for a bit while Mom took a bubble bath. After that it was after 8 pm so we decided to watch some TV in bed before going to sleep. The phone did not ring at all. Tonight Mom will make dinner, do the dishes and I think it will be a night of snuggling on the couch watching TV all night seeings how we have not done that in 6 nights. I think Mark is going to play his game tonight seeings how he did not do it last evening. That is fine by Mom. I have a bunch of shows to watch that Mark doesn't like...lol. It is a great time for me to catch up on them. Tomorrow is Friday! It will be the 1st day of March as well. It would have been Nana's Birthday too along with Meme and Bob's Anniversary. Lots going on tomorrow. Today is Aunt Jacqui's Birthday. Mom wished her a happy one and asked if she was enjoying her day. She said they were relaxing and she ate birthday cake for breakfast. Sounds like Mom's kind of day! Mark will be busy working all day and Mom will be doing her usual....studying and finishing this final exam! We don't have any weekend plans at all. I think I have a nail appointment on Sunday but that is it. One day we will go out and the other day we shall stay in. It's suppose to rain all weekend anyways. Hopefully it will melt all the snow that we just got. We got about what they said we would. Looks like about 4" -5". Not too bad but it stinks seeings how we could see all grass yesterday and there was no snow. Hope it will be that way again and very soon! 
 Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all today because I didn't chat with anyone last night but today is a tough day to say the least for my sweet friend Dani. I have been thinking of her and her family all day today. February 28th of last year was when she lost her sweet son to cancer. He passed away early that morning. Mom had the chance to see him a couple weeks before he gained his Angel wings and for that I will forever be grateful. I am sure that Eli is up there with you and learning all new things for his next journey, but there are just so many family and friends that miss him here in the physical world just like we all miss you bunches. Mom wishes no Mom this kind of pain (Dad's too). If you see Eli give him a hug from Mom and tell him that Sherbear loves and misses him. Thanks pumpkin. Mom wishes that she could see you, hear you and hug you. I look at your pictures many times a day and lately they make me so sad...more than normal. I am not sure why though but I tear up a lot lately. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will light the candle for you this evening in a little bit when it gets dark and I will whisper to you later this evening when I go to bed. Smile for me when you hear Mom and I will smile to you. have fun while Mom gets the much needed sleep that I need tonight. Come be with me or visit me in my dreams if you can. Thank you! I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now Mom is going to try and go back to her studies. Wish me luck on that....lol. I will be prepping dinner in a bit as well plus feeding the pups. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams my bright shining star. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Psalm 57:10-11, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you that you have always been gracious to us, revealing your great goodness and power in ages past and in the present. In this revelation we live, O Lord our God. You are the almighty One, who works wonders on earth and who rules the heavens so that we can be blest and helped on our earthly paths. Let your goodness and your justice be revealed throughout all the world. Arise, O Lord our God. Let your light shine in us who believe in you. Let your light shine into the whole world. Let your name be glorified. You are indeed our Father, both in heaven and on earth. You give our lives security now and in eternity. Amen.
