Ahh, Back to Writing

-
So I've been extremely busy and haven't had time to blog, but now I am MAKING time to blog.  The only problem is, sooooo much has happened that I really don't even know where to begin! This was definitely the busiest, most stressful, exciting, overwhelming, unique semester I've had in college.  And probably the best.

It's reallllly overwhelming to even know what to start with, so I'm going to go through my planner starting where I left off with blogging, and go from there I guess.  But I think I'll do that tomorrow because my middle name is Procrastination (when I was little I thought my middle name was "And" hahaha I just remembered that as I was writing this, actually).  I also want to share what I'm doing right now (which seems like a whole lot of nothing, but it's really not).

Since graduation on May 5, I have been spending an awful lot of time at home, which is exactly what I wanted and needed after this insane semester.  I also needed to be at home because I HAD to start a deep clean on my room.  I'm getting closer to possibly moving out, and even if I don't move out for a while, I really need my room to be a WHOLE LOT less cluttered.  I have been finding bags of chips that expired in 2003 (gross!), birthday cards and notes from sixth grade (when we moved here), and anything else I could ever imagine being in there.  I really haven't cleaned it in years. I have a hoarding problem, and I'm also pretty lazy so there ya go.


Aside from finding disgusting and heartwarming mementos from the past 12 years, I have also been doing a whole lot of crafting! I have been selling my crafts and making some pretty good money too (so hit me up if you wanna buy something!).  Kathie Lee Gifford's dad always told her, "Find something you love to do, and then find a way to get paid for it." So that's what I'm trying to do! Y'all know I make bows, but my latest obession is painting canvases and putting quotes on them.  That way, I combine my love of art and writing :) I also made a couple of jewelry boxes as graduation/birthday gifts for two of my friends.






I have been shopping with graduation money (maybe spent a little too much), and working on cleaning up my grandma's house (I'm currently using it as a hangout spot until my parents sell it).

This is one of the bathrooms at the house. I put a cool lamp in it. That was my major accomplishment.


Speaking of my grandma's house, I also found some really cool stuff there, such as letters my grandfather sent to my grandma when he was stationed in Miami in World War II and a commencement picture from when my dad graduated from High Point.

 


I've also been taking Honeygirl on a lot of walks and doing fun things with friends, but more about that later!!

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
