For Zachary James Pratt

Hi Zach, feeling a bit lonely these days but I will have to get used to it. Cody has taken the next step towards independence and moved into a condo with Robbie. It was really tough seeing one of my babies leave home though Cody probably wouldn't see it that way. He is even signing a lease so he can start to build a credit history and is setting aside money each week for rent. I am very proud of him, he packed up all his stuff, drove the moving truck, took things apart and put them back together again and is now totally settled in. I don't know if school is in the cards for right now, I think he just needs to spread his wings and see how things are on his own for a bit. He is doing very well at work managing the dairy department and checking up front so money doesn't seem to be a problem and he has a very creative side, not unlike you, that he wants to use writing songs and trying to perform. He has been making some contacts these past couple of weeks so we will have to see...

Hey Zach, hope you will be wearing green tomorrow. I am in green today at work and will be again tomorrow. Getting together with friends for St. Patrick's day including Lisa who's as close to Irish as you can get. It will be raining all weekend and has been for a week now but we do need the water so we'll have to put up with it I guess. Nana and Granddad are at your Uncle Gregg's place in Hawaii until the end of next week. They are having a relaxing time which is good since they do too much when they are home and need the rest.Cody has been working a lot and things have been crazy at my work as well. Who knew that Cody Pratt would be filing income taxes this year for the first time but at least he will get a nice refund out of it. Lots of new responsibilities are coming his way but he is handling it all really well. Anyway, this was just a quick note to touch base and wish you a very Happy St. Patrick's day. I miss you and love you with all my heart. Love, Mom X...
