Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Mom is doing well. The weather is so nice outside. It is blue skies and sunny and the temp is in the upper 50's. Makes Mom happy as there is no snow at all anymore! Even the snow banks are gone finally! Winter I believe is officially over with or at least no more snow for us until November-December! I can handle that and I can't wait for the weather to warm up where the balcony door can be open and the heat/ac doesn't have to be on. Those are definitely the best days! 
 Not much is happening today at all. We are taking it easy after the 2 very busy days that we have had in a row this past week. It felt good to get out and go places but because Mom doesn't do that too often now it makes me pretty tired. Last night I was in bed at 9:30 pm and Mark said I was fast asleep within 15 minutes. I was just so tired from not sleeping the night before. I feel very rested today. We were up around 8 am and Mark was out the door by 9 am to run a couple errands while Mom was chatting with Meme. When he got home we made breakfast together ( homemade waffles and maple bacon), Mom did the clean up, got ready and we just got done taking the pups for a nice walk. Mom also cleaned out her car as well. I have laundry going right now and later I will vacuum and mop the floors and I will be done for the day and able to relax later tonight! Sunday I have a nail appointment and I need to grab things at the grocery store but that is it. A couple hours out and then back home! Earlier this morning Mark went into his email for work because he has had the last 3 days off and he was stunned to see that he was on the schedule to go back to NY on Tues-Thursday. last he knew the dates were changed to the 15th-17th. He was not prepared for that at all.Neither was Mom through. The weather will be in the 60's and party sunny all those days so it will be good driving weather. I can't wait for this to be finished so he doesn't have to make this drive again. Mom will be busy those days that he is away as well. I will have school during the day and on Wednesday I have maintenance coming to work inside the apartment plus I have to get things packed for our travels that will begin on Sunday to Ohio. It will be a very busy week for sure for us both. Mom just hopes that Princess does better this time while he is gone. Mom needs to get some sleep. Please be with Mark while he is driving again...going there and coming home and also watch over Mom during that time as well. Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom will keep you updated on things as I know of them.
 Mom will be calling Grandpa later this evening to say hello and also to see how they are doing. I will touch base with Aunt Beck on Tuesday while Mark is gone. I have spoken to Meme a few times and all seems to be well there. Mom has been debating on a couple things lately. I have a chance to trade in my vehicle for a different one and I am not sure what to do. It is the style and color that I really want. It's a big decision and I have a few days to really think about it. I know I will do the best thing for myself so I am not worried at all. Mom will keep you posted on the decision I make and when I do! Not much else is going on though. It really is a boring, "down" day. Mom will go relax after I am finished this letter to you and then I will think of what to make for dinner. I can't believe it is already 2:15 pm. The time has flown by today. I will light your candle in a bit and whisper to you later this evening like I always do. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. I miss you terribly and 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. Hope your night is everything that you need and want it to be. Have fun though and come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Thank you my sweet precious son. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with another letter to you so until then... good night and sweet dreams later this evening.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray for the day:

We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:20–22, NIV

Lord God, we thank you for having revealed yourself on this earth in the midst of sin, need, and oppression. We thank you that we can have joy in all you have done both before and since the coming of Jesus Christ, our Savior in everything. To you be praise and thanks. Our hearts leap up with joy in you and in your deeds. Grant that we may be faithful to the end, victorious in all things through your Spirit, who helps and blesses us on our way. Grant your help to all who call to you and who long to rejoice in you. Amen.
