Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. We are back here at the office for another full day of having Mark work on things for his Dad and Karen. Mom has been busy with school today and studying. I needed to take a break from it and write to you as during the evening Mom really doesn't have any time to do it. Last night we were at the office all day, let at 5:00 pm and we were back home at 5:15 pm. We had dinner and then we went downstairs and watched tv while Mark worked until 1 am. We crawled into bed then just to be up at 7 am this morning. Mom is exhausted and so is Mark. He is such a trooper. I think it will be another night like last night so that he can finish things up. The plan is for us to be leaving tomorrow morning and making the first part of the trip back home. We will do the same as we did when we traveled here. Half one day and half the next day. We should be home by Saturday afternoon. Mom wishes she could help Mark out to get everything done but I can't. There is nothing I can do unfortunately. Mom will be writing to you tomorrow night from my iPad at the hotel so it probably will not be a long letter at all. I just wanted to give you the heads up. Mom will also probably not be able to write to you on Saturday as after we get home I will have laundry to do, everything to put away and then I need to bathe the pups. The rest of the night will be relaxing from it all. I will write to you on Sunday again though. Mom will be back on her routine. I know you understand and that is all that matters. Mom knows that you see everything that I do now. I miss you so much my sweet precious son. 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 live inside my heart,mind, body and soul. Never not feel that, okay?
 Mom messaged Meme this morning to touch base and I left a message for Grandpa. I will call them both when we are at the hotel for the evening tomorrow night. Aunt Beck and John started out on their own road trip. I know you are watching over us all and Mom thanks you so much Tyler. I wish I had more updates for you but at this time Mom just doesn't. It has been a busy couple weeks for Mom... between being sick and then leaving and then being here for the last 3 days... Mom is just ready to go back home and get back to our routine. Mark will again be busy with his work but he has no traveling that he has to do though which is a good thing. 
 Mom sure hopes that your night will be everything that you need and want it to be. I hope that you will have the chance to come visit Mom in my dreams tonight or sit near me so that I can get some much needed solid sleep. I will whisper to you later as well. Smile when you hear Mom and I will smile back to you. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for now Mom needs to get going so that I can finish up with my school work and also try and control the pups as they have been naughty today. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray for the day:

 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. John 12:26, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for this day and for the protection you have given us. Grant that we may find our joy in your grace and in your love. Help us to become truer followers of Jesus, who came in your love. Be merciful to us and help all those who belong to you. You know them all and the thoughts of their hearts. You know their struggle on earth and the temptations that surround them. Help each one, also those who are still far away from you. Give them hearts open to your Word and to all you have promised. We entrust ourselves to your care this night. Help us and bless us. May your will be done in all things, also in the midst of all the sin and misery in the world. May your will be done on earth as in heaven, and may your kingdom come. Amen.
