Happy Thoughts Thursday!

After the ridiculous outpouring of love and support regarding my last post, I feel so lucky and ready to take on this journey with my mom. I can't thank everyone enough for the kind words, support, prayers, and encouragement that are being sent our way. My mind is right and when that happens, it's easy to pick out happy thoughts. So, let's do this.

- Baseball. It's happening soon, folks. I know the weather doesn't feel like it, but it's coming - no matter what. I really can't wait for night games, ballpark hot dogs, and the inevitable implosion by the Reds.

- Reunions. Matt, Andrea, and adorable Lily came to Indianapolis on Sunday, so we had a little grad school reunion at Scotty's. Although we were missing a few good friends, the food was great, the company was better, and I finally got to hang out with my new best friend.

- Free weekends. This weekend will be the first plan-free weekend Wheat and I have had together in months. Between Pacers and Cyclones games, trips to Lebanon, and other obligations, we have seriously had something scheduled every weekend since I can remember. With the playoffs quickly approaching for both of us, I'm hoping we get some FUN in before our lives spiral out of control.

- Penguins. Two penguins from the Newport Aquarium dropped the ceremonial first puck at the Cyclones game last weekend and the only thing that would have excited me more was if the Penguins were actually Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

- "I Love the Rain the Most" by Joe Purdy. Wheat introduced me to this song a while back and I love it. The driving force of the guitar, his voice, all of it. Enjoy.
