Christmas: Week THREE

-
So I'm REALLY behind on blogging...things got crazy in Christmas chaos.  I wrote a lot of this earlier, but now I'm adding things as I remember them.  I remember watching Christmas movies at night but I don't remember which nights haha. So here is what I remember from week three. The highlights :)


Sunday, December 11
-Church in the morning
-Lunch with Zach & his family
-Ice skating in downtown Greensboro with Katie and Ashley!! It was so much fun.  I definitely wanna go again.  Once we got the hang of it, we got going a little faster...but me and Katie couldn't quite master the art of skating backwards like Ashley did haha
-Christmas program at church with Alex and Ashley.  Loved the music.  It was beautiful.
-Then we went shopping at Belk's...taking advantage of their extended Christmas hours!
-Went home and attempted to work on homework... haha





Monday, December 12
-Worked in the costume shop for a few hours.
-Had Kepley's for supper with Zach!! Mmmmmm

Tuesday, December 13
-Exam in the morning...presentations to be exact. STRESSS!!
-Hobby Lobby with Blair and Brooke
-Went to see Flash at her house in Wallburg - recovering from her surgery.  Got 2 hot dogs at Sheetz in Wallburg (I think it's kind of a big deal that they have a Sheetz now).  The hot dogs were DELICIOUS and I enjoyed the nice country drive and listening to Christmas music.
-Went home and my mom had brought pizza home...so I ate some more and then felt sick.
-Ashley's first band concert at the middle school!!!!!!!!!! She has first seat in the flute section.  It was so sweet.  I loved going back and seeing SW Middle school and fondly remembering my days there haha

 Some of us at the band concert


Wednesday, December 14
-Last day of my ed. technology class / presentations
-Worked in the costume shop by myself and listened to Christmas music :)
-Lunch on campus / last minute cramming for my American Humor exam with Zach
-After my exam, I went straight to Sweet Shoppe Bakery and got a box full of Christmas treats to celebrate the end of finals week. Sweet Shoppe is less than a minute from High Point University, and right across the street from the school (Wesleyan Academy) I attended for elementary and part of middle school. My mom would take me and my brother to Sweet Shoppe at least once a week when she picked us up from Wesleyan.  (It's kind of weird to attend a college that basically shares a campus with your elementary school, right??) ANYWAY, Sweet Shoppe is a very memorable and happy place for me, and since I love constants, I love Sweet Shoppe.  Not to mention the fact that their treats are the most delicious things I've ever tasted.
-Church that night

my box of Christmas treats!!!

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

-
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
