Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I won't lie to you though... I am tired as all heck. Another night with what seems to be very little sleep for me. I was awake at 5:45 am and just couldn't fall back to sleep. I laid in bed until 7 am though when everyone else was up. We fed the pups and Mark made his coffee. Mom went back in and lounged in bed for about a couple of hours and then I got up, made something to eat and then came right in and started on all the things I needed to get done today. I was able to get the water, gas, house fees paid for Florida and then I booked the rental car for when we get there, I paid a few more bills and then made 3 phone calls as well. It has been super busy but I think Mom is done now. I think all the paperwork stuff and calls were finished as of this afternoon. Now it is to finish the packing and then I can sit back for the next couple of weeks and just enjoy the days. Maybe I will even have a chance to start on one of the projects for my course. I have not been active in that since Mark got sick back in May. That was almost 5 months ago. My goal when we get down to Florida and the packing and house is all set up is to get cracking on that again. I would like to take the travel agent course as well and get that going and finish it up before the end of the year. Those are my goals for the 1st few months after the move. Mark will be busy with work and I am sure Meme and Bob will be getting their stuff unpacked and settled in. I made a call today about a couple of things and it is surreal to me that in less than a month now, we will no longer be living where we are but we will be in Florida. It is crazy. Mom is doing well with it for the most part but my emotions are starting to get the best of me. I am excited, nervous, scared, guilty and so much more. I seem to be quiet these past few days. Mark said so himself that I am not so talkative. I haven't spoken to Meme in almost a week and Grandpa and I have only spoken once this week as well. I know that everyone is busy but I also think that Meme is still a bit mad at me and she is just wanting her time and space. That is fine with me. Mom has been busy so the night time being quiet and not doing anything has been nice. Mark has been working a lot into the night hours this whole week as well. Monday-Wednesday he worked until 8 pm-9:30 pm after working all day and last night he played his video game. Mom has had some time to herself and all I have done is snuggled on the couch with a blanket and watched my taped shows. I am trying to get rid of them because I will loose whatever I don't watch because we have to give this equipment back. I think I have 10 movies to watch....lol. I will get there. That is what my weekends are made of lately. Mom is packing and getting stuff set and after I watch the movies. We are not going anywhere so that we are not tempted to spend money. We need to save what we can as this whole move is really expensive, not to mention Mark's truck needs to go in the shop and get fixed before we leave. Anyways.....
 Mom will touch base with everyone over the weekend. Aunt Beck said that she would call me during the week. I will be sure to have some new updates for you over the weekend. Saturday will be Mark and I going through his office to see what we can pack up and then later in the day the garage will be done. Sunday we will be going out so that I can get my nails done and then do a bit of grocery shopping. Then we will come home and watch football. Then once again it will be Monday and it will be back to bringing Mark to PT, him working, Mom doing what needs to be done and so forth through the week. Mark will be going to meet his new boss on Tuesday. He will be gone for about 3-4 hours. That will be nice for him. It will give Mom some alone time too. I think that is all that will be going on for the weekend ahead and next week. It will be busy. It is also the last full week in September. Grandpa has 2 more shifts and he is fully retired and Debbie has 5 more days. Meme has 7 more days until she does. That is crazy. Last time we spoke about it they all had like 3-4 months! Time is flying by. This is also the last weekend that is considered Summer. Autumn/Fall starts next week. Mom will be changing the pictures up on here again now. October will be Fall/Halloween, November will be cozy pictures/Thanksgiving and December will be all about Christmas/New Years. I have already started gathering the pictures. 
 Tonight I will whisper to you like I always do. Smile and I will smile back, my sweet precious son. I will light your candle in a bit too. Have fun while I try to get some sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you like crazy and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will forever be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You will live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter to you. The day time will be busy. Until then....good night and sweet dreams. Mom needs to get going and get the night routine stuff started. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty – and I will meditate on your wonderful works. Psalm 145:3–5, NIV

Lord God, our Helper, we thank you for walking among us and for letting many experience your protection. Even when we are dying, you protect and help us so that we need not pass into death but may enter into life. So may our hearts be lifted up to you. Grant that the light in us remains undimmed, and that we may come before you in sincerity. Lord God, create good out of evil. Let light dawn in the darkness. Fulfill your promise, for our hearts are not concerned with human desires but with your promise. You will carry it out, and we will be able to say, "Our faith was not in vain, our hope was not in vain. Lord our God, you have blest us a thousandfold." Amen.
