Thankful Thursday - Satellite Edition

Even though she didn't do it today, for a long time Sarah has been doing the Thankful Thursday post on her blog. I think that is a great idea - doing something each week that brings you back to the good things that are happening in your life. Thus, my first Thankful Thursday post.

To start off, I'm so very thankful to come home from work tonight to find out that Tom Glavine, my favorite baseball player ever, will officially be returning for another year with the Braves. I know a lot of people out there would rather see that spot in the rotation go to a younger player, but I'm just not ready to see Glavine go yet.

On a related note, I'm thankful that just a little over a month away is baseball season, and with that comes going to work for the Braves again. I can't wait. I love Turner Field. I love the Braves. And, even with all the negative press recently, I still love baseball.

I'm thankful that my classes are much more interesting this semester. Most of the work this semester is reading, and I won't lie, I have such a hard time getting myself to just sit down and read my textbooks. But I'm in classes that are actually my focus of study, which will always be better than college algebra or macroeconomics.

I'm thankful for Sarah and I having the opportunity to host our Sunday night small group. I'm really excited about being a part of this group.

Most importantly this week, I am thankful for Sarah. She has been such an example to me the past couple weeks, and months. She is so much quicker than me to completely put her trust in God. I need to be like that. She is always my biggest supporter in school and work. She makes sure that I remember that she is always by my side. Now she'll be the first to tell you that she has her faults. But she's the best wife I could have ever asked for. I don't deserve her, but I'll never let go of her. Thank you babe. I love you!!

Satellite - Guster
Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite

Elevator to the moon
Whistling a favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite

Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
You're my satellite
