Hi pumpkin! Happy Monday to you. Hope you are doing all kinds of neat things wherever you may be. Today has been a pretty good day for Mom considering that I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I was able to do some housework, collect the garbage, sort out some stuff to donate, do laundry and now I am writing to you. A few emails came in today with good news so that was awesome! The rest of my day will be doing this letter and then doing a bit of relaxing. Mark has been working all day and now he is gone to his PT appointment. He will be back in an hour or so.
The weather was really brutal Friday-Sunday and today it is as well but we are going to be getting some rain again here soon. It rained earlier as well. Tomorrow looks like the same thing except we will be 30 degrees cooler. Mom has her nail appointment in the morning and I will be going to do a bit of shopping after but I will be back in the afternoon to write to you so don't you worry!
Last night Mom spoke to Meme for a while and then we had dinner, did the dishes, and then Mark and Mom played a video game together....Angry Birds....lol! We had so much fun and we laughed. It was a good time. We decided to go to bed around 10 pm so we could get some sleep. Mark slept well and so did the pups but as I said above, Mom didn't. I will tonight though.
I spoke to Debbie for a bit today. It was nice to catch up with her. Grandpa had a rough night of no sleep so he was still sleeping at noon time. Poor guy. He has to take a sleeping pill and when he takes it, he fights it and ends up staying awake. Hopefully in the next few months he can start getting better sleep and relax a lot more after he retires and then moves. Bob was not doing better at all yesterday. I kindly reminded him that he needs to stay hydrated and eat plus also take care of himself. He really worries all of us a lot of the time. Everyone else seems good. I will touch base with Aunt Beck this week as I believe that next week she is on a plane to Italy for a couple weeks! Never heard from Bean and I messaged her again. Oh well. Not much I can do about it. Mom will update you as I know of things.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to do the rest of my studying as everything with the home should be at a stand still for now until the appraisal and then closing. Not much left to do except book a few things and that won't happen until the beginning of September or when we leave. This is really getting real now. The countdown is at 81 days....less than 3 months now. That is crazy. We started this whole process back in April. At that point we had over 7 months. Time is flying that is for sure.
Mom has started a new candle today for you and it has been burning bight for the last 3 hours. That is the last of the smaller candles that I have, The rest are bigger but I honestly do not have many at all now which is great. I do believe they will all be gone except one before we start packing things. Mom is keeping a candle so that I can light it the very first night we get there for you. We won't have our belongings yet but I will have that candle....lol! I think Mom is planning to start packing things up in the middle of August of all the things we do not use or touch on a daily basis. Going to get a head start so there is no stress. First of September we will be starting to put our stuff we want to sell up on a few sites. Hopefully we can sell it to make a few dollars for our flights and rental car. We will see!
Well, Mom is going to finish this letter up to you and go sit with the pups as they are going crazy because Mark is gone. If Mom sits with them they are better. I will whisper to you later so smile for me and I will smile to you. Come visit me in my dreams tonight if you can. Have fun while I get some much needed sleep! I miss you like crazy, Tyler. 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. Until tomorrow my sweet precious son..... good night and sweet dreams later.
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
Here is the prayer for the day:
You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom Luke 22:28–30a, NIV
Lord our God, we thank you that we may be your children and that we may hope in your Spirit. Your Spirit rules us as people whom you want to draw to yourself, as people who may serve you in their lives here on earth. Grant that we may be childlike, so that your Spirit can rule us more and more and what is good may come to many people in all places. May many come to know that their lives are not merely temporal. May they realize that they can live and act in you, and through you may experience the good that is to come to all nations on earth. Amen.
