 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you over the weekend but it was crazy busy as I knew it would be. Mom was busy all day long. Here is how the weekend went:

Saturday~ Mom and Mark were yup early and we got the pups fed and walked and then got ready to go run our errands. We went to the post office, the grocery store and then 2 other stores and got back home at 12 noon. We had lunch and then Mark went to his office to do some work and Mom started packing the landing, master closet and the hall closet. Then I started working on straightening out all the stuff in the the master bedroom. We made dinner around 5 pm and then watched a movie until 8 pm. Mom stayed awake for about an hour and then I was out like a light. I was so tired.

Sunday~ We were up at 7 am. Mom got the pups fed and walked while Mark got ready to leave to teach at the college. Mom made breakfast and then started right on packing. I did the bathroom and then the master bedroom. After that I did not stop. I started right on my office. I cranked the tunes and away I went. I didn't even know that it was late until Mark called to tell me it was 3:45 pm. I couldn't believe it. The day went by so fast. I continued packing until 5 pm and then went downstairs to feed the pups and walk them. We had a late dinner. We chatted with a friend of ours and then binged watched a tv series until 10 pm last night. Mom crashed at 10:30 pm. 

Monday~ That is today! Mom has been up since 7 am and on the go since. I got the pups set and while Mark started work at 5:30 am, Mom made the bed, got ready and then started in my office closet. I had to go through so much stuff. I got it all done and had about 1 hour before my appointment showed up. I chatted with Auntie Kristina. At 1:30 pm to about 2:30 pm someone came to give us an estimate on the cost of our move. After that was finished, I came upstairs and called Auntie Kristina back. I did some emails and calls and now I am writing to you. It is now 4 pm. In less than an hour I will be getting dinner for the pups, walking them and then making dinner for us as well. It will be an early night as Mom is quite tired today. I will probably watch some tv and then call it an early night. Tomorrow I have errands to run and then pack just a handful of things and that is it. I am done packing! Now it will be about ordering furniture, and then making calls to change our address over. Looks like I will have about 9 days of rest before we move and do the whole unpacking thing on the other side at our new home! I think that worked out perfect!!!! Mom couldn't be happier!

Not much new to report for updates I am afraid. I haven't spoken to any of the family in about 1 week. I will try to touch base with them during the week but Mom feels she shouldn't be the only one who keeps reaching out. It is quite sad actually that I have to be the only one to do that. It gets frustrating but right now I can't think about that stuff! I will update you when I know of things my sweet precious son! 

Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. right now I have a few things to do before 5 pm. Mark is napping and the rest of the house is quiet so Mom will take advantage of this...lol! I will light the candle warmer for you tonight and whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight. Have fun and come visit Mom if you can. Thank you so much. Please continue to watch over us and keep us healthy and safe. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are and always will be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Continue to fly high and free, pumpkin. I miss you more than words....until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams.

Always,

Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💙

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright but as always I am running behind. Go figure, right? I have been up since 7 am and got the pups fed and walked and then I sat downstairs for about 30 minutes. Came upstairs, made the bed, got the pups settled, got ready and out the door I went to get more boxes and groceries. Got home around 11:30 am and put everything away and then came upstairs to start the day with emails, calls and checking on family and a couple friends. This weekend will be all about packing packing packing. Mom has a virtual appointment on Monday with a moving company to get a quote on how much it will cost to get our stuff to the new house. Then the rest of the week will be making calls and changing our address over. We are T minus 20 days now! I can't wait. We will be out of here before all the crowds start up again!!!! Mom will keep you posted on the progress. I know that it will be busy over the weekend so I will probably take one day off and just pack all day. Mark is teaching Sunday and will have my car so I can't go anywhere. I will probably write to you that day. 

Last night was quiet. Mark was gone and arrived home at 10:30 pm. Mom talked to Aunt Shirley and then her friend, Deb. I started at 7:30 pm and was still on the phone until 10:35 pm...lol After that Mom pretty much crashed!!! I will be relaxing tonight. My muscles are so sore from lifting and packing already. By the time I get to bed at night, I can barely move. It feels good though as I am using muscles that I don't usually! I think tonight will be dinner, a walk and then clean up and then watching tv until bedtime. I want to get an early start tomorrow. I have to run a few errands in the morning and then it will be all about packing in the afternoon. 

Mom doesn't have any updates for you at all today. All is well with everyone. I will update you when I do have some new news. I will light the candle warmer tonight and whisper to you before I fall asleep. Smile for me and I will smile to you. I hope you have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. I would love that. I am so sorry that this a another short letter to you tonight. I wanted to write instead of missing it altogether. I know you understand as you see everything that I am going through. 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. I miss you more than words my sweet precious son. I will be back over the weekend with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams later. Please continue to watch over us and keep us in your loving care. Keep us healthy and safe, please. Thank you, pumpkin. I love you to infinity and beyond.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is writing to you now as I have to get the pups fed early this evening as Mark is teaching tonight at the college. It is already 2:45 pm and I have about 30 minutes before I have to get things started. 

Mom was up early this morning getting the pups fed and walked. After that I stayed downstairs for about an hour and got things situated. I came upstairs and I came right into my office and started to sift through emails, make calls and answer texts. I am still waiting on getting a call from 1 lady. Mom is tired of the run around that we are getting when it comes to when we can order furniture and appliances. We have no idea when that green light will be given and time is ticking for us to get them delivered before we move. Mom still needs to call movers to see when we can book them and I have to wait for that as well. It is super frustrating. For now all the furniture is picked out and saved on my computer. It is just a matter of being able to submit things and pay for them. Hopefully by the beginning of next week we will be able to and all will be well. 

Tonight, Mom will be doing what I always do while Mark is teaching. I will feed the pups, walk them and then I will have dinner by myself. I will then come upstairs and get ready for the night routine. I think tonight though I will take a long bath and relax before watching tv. I need a break from all the house stuff. Tomorrow I will start fresh and new and start packing up as much as I can upstairs. We have a virtual call on Monday with a mover to go over quotes. Over the weekend will basically be the same. Sunday, Mark teaches again so I have the day to pack and get a lot done. No worries though. I will crank the tunes and away I will go! 

Mom will light the candle warmer for you this evening. I will whisper to you later tonight as well before I drift off to sleep. Smile for me when you hear me and I will smile to you as well. I hope you have fun tonight doing all kinds of things. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. 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. 

I have no updates for you at all. I haven't really spoken to anyone. I will update you when I do though. I will try to call Grandpa tonight to say hello! Mom is sorry that this letter is short but I have to get going to feed the pups before Mark heads out. It is after 4 pm and I am running late. I am so sorry, Tyler. I will be back tomorrow though with another letter to you. Until then...good night and sweet dreams. I will forever miss you my sweet precious son.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💙

 Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is crazy busy but I wanted to write to you before it got too late. It is already after 5 pm but the pups got fed and walked early because Mark is teaching at the college tonight. On those nights I make sure to feed them early so that Princess will eat. She has been very good for Mom the last few times Mark has left. She has ate her dinner, walked for me and also lays on the bed with me too. It is progress! Ozzy does everything no matter what. He is a Mommy's boy! 

I am so sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday. It was really crazy. Lots of calls, texts, emails, and in between, Mom was packing things up for most of the day. I stopped at 5 pm to feed the pups and walk them and then make dinner for us but after that I continued and then took a shower and got ready for bed. Last night around 9:30 pm, there was an incident that happened. There was no water in the house. I called and there was a main water break outside of the resort community and they said it started at 7 pm and it wouldn't be fixed for 8+ hours. Mom had to wake everyone up and tell them not to use their toilet. Mark and Mom got water from the pool to fill buckets up with just incase. The water was back on at 5 am. Everything was good. We are all good too. I think we got to bed around 11 pm. 

Mom was up at the usual time this morning. Mark was as well. We fed the pups and walked them. He went to work and Mom stayed downstairs and packed some more. I finished at 10:30 am. I got ready and I was out the door at 11:30 am. I had a ton of errands to run and then had a nail appointment. I was home at 2:45 pm. I grabbed something to eat and then came down to my office to check emails, make calls and then I spoke to Auntie Kristina for about an hour. I got off the phone with her at 4:15 pm and fed the pups and walked them while Mark was showering so that he could leave. Tonight, I will be looking at furniture for the new home. I will flag it so that Mark and I can discuss it and then make the decisions to order it all! Tomorrow we have the home inspection for this house. I think everything will go well. I am not worried one bit. We did all the money exchange for the new house yesterday so we are good there. We are closing a lot earlier than expected. First it was the middle of April, then April 7th and now it is March 24th. We have exactly 22 days to get all this together and set. Mom is finished packing the downstairs and I did it with 13 boxes. That is how much is staying here. We are taking very little. The house is so much smaller than this one so we have no choice. I am ok with all that but Mom is still fighting with Meme about it. She has over 100 boxes again and she is bringing so much bigger stuff too. She is not going to be happy with sticking things in storage, but I told her already that she had to...period! Mark and Mom will have about 35 boxes and 16 bigger pieces and that is it! Not too shabby and our move will only cost very little! Mom will keep you posted on this! 

I hope that you are having fun when I am sleeping at night and during the day time you are doing all kinds of things that you need to do and want to do. Come visit Mom in my dreams if you can. Thank you. Please continue to watch over us all. Keep us safe and healthy. Thank you my sweet precious son. I miss you so much 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. I will light the candle warmer in a few minutes. I will whisper to you before I fall asleep tonight. Smile to me and I will smile to you. I am going to close this letter to you for now and go find Princess. she is hiding somewhere. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. Fly high and free, pumpkin!

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
