Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is so sorry that I was not able to write to you yesterday but all day long I was on the phone again getting things done for the house and just when I was able to write to you we got a really bad thunderstorm. It was a good one that is for sure. Lots of thunder and lightning and the rain was intense. It started around 4 pm and ended by 4:45 pm and then another one came through around 6 pm and lasted for a bit as well. That one was worse than the first one. We had to have dinner later than normal because we were sitting with the pups as they were shaking. We got to feed them around 6:30 pm and I remember Mom finishing dinner by 7:15 pm. It was crazy that was for sure. Mark and I loved it and we sat outside for a while during the first storm. The second one Mom video taped a bit of it but came in after 2 minutes because I was soaked....lol. Today started out being cloudy and overcast with rain but now it is partly cloudy and the sun is trying to peek out. The ground is dry so that is a good thing. The next 3 days are going to be brutal. It is suppose to be 92 degrees tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday it is going to be 98 degrees. That is the hottest by far this season. We plan on staying in tomorrow and Saturday but we have to go out for a bit on Sunday. We will be doing some shopping and then Mom has a nail appointment. We won't be out long though.
Mom slept in this morning. I couldn't believe it that it was 8:30 am when I woke up. I haven't slept in in a very long time. Mark was up at 6:30 am he said and he fed the pups and started right away working. Guess he enjoyed the almost 2 hours of quiet time. He got a lot done he said. After Mom was awake, I checked my email and such like I do every morning and then I got up, made something to eat, did the dishes, did a load of laundry, gathered the trash up, took a shower and got ready, made a couple calls that I needed to make and then I came into my office and paid bills and now I am writing to you. mark is at PT right now so I am listening to some music while I write and the pups are not being very good. They are barking at everything. Some days they are really good and other days it is impossible to get anything done because they are naughty....today is one of those days...ugh! Mom plans on shutting her computer down right after I finish this letter to you anyways. Tonight will be relaxing on the couch and doing nothing at all. I need a night like that. I am tired of being on the phone or on the computer. Mom can't wait to get back to my old routine of getting up, studying all day and then writing to you and then the night routine stuff. It has been well over 2 1/2 months since it has been that way. Crazy how time is flying by. If everything goes well then we will be closing on the property at the beginning of September. The next few months are going to be extremely busy and it will go by so fast. We have exactly 85 days before we leave! Mom is excited, nervous, has anxiety about it but I will be okay. It has been almost 6 years since we moved back to this area. It will be like moving to Texas all over again but I will adapt better this time. I will know what to expect!
Everyone is doing well. Busy with work, packing, different appointments, etc... I talk to Meme, Grandpa, Debbie and Bob either every night or at least 4 times a week. Aunt Beck and I speak about every other week as well. I have no updates for you today but hopefully I will have some for you over the weekend. Mom needs to get going so that I can get things ready for dinner and feed the pups as it is 4:45 pm. Mark will be home soon as well. It is getting dark all of a sudden. Looks like we may get another thunderstorm....lucky us!
Have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will whisper to you later this evening. Your candle is burning bright and has been since about noon. I miss you 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 live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter. Until then.... good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:23–24, NIV
Lord our God, we thank you for being among us as our Father, for letting us be your children on earth. We thank you that as your children we can find life in spirit and in truth. Grant that each of us may find how our lives on earth can be lifted up by your Spirit. Your Spirit can bring us what we do not possess, so that our daily work, all our striving and struggling for the outward things of life, may be pervaded by what is higher and greater. Your Spirit can keep us from falling into base and petty ways, from getting lost in earthly experiences which do not last, no matter how much they demand our attention. We thank you for all you have done for your children. Continue to help us, that we may serve you every day in gladness and gratitude. Amen.
