Just a Fun Day (& more!)

-
Well, I would've written this blog sooner, but for some reason I couldn't get blogger to work.
 
Anyway, on Tuesday, I had one of the most relaxing days I've had in a while.
 
What did I do?
 
Shopped.
 
All day. 
 
 
First I went to Carter Brother's for lunch with Jennifer.  We don't get to hang out that often, so it was really good to get to catch up with her.  After lunch, we went to Friendly Shopping Center.  All that needs to be said about that is that we share a love for shopping and finding good deals, and some GREAT deals were found on that trip :) It was also a nice bonding time for us, haha.
 
After that, I met up with Brooke at Hobby Lobby, and we drooled over the overwhelming abundance of Christmas decorations.  Hobby Lobby is so wonderful and overwhelming and great.  And of course, Brooke and I also share that love of shopping and finding good deals.

My favorite thing I picked up that day, though, was at Hobby Lobby.  As a graduation gift, Zach had my diploma framed, and Brooke and I picked it up.

(Of course I picked out the frame. Can't you tell?)
 
 
It was a rainy, cloudy sort of day - the best kind of day for shopping, in my opinion. There's just something about shopping for hours on a cloudy day with a great friend...
 
And as a disclaimer, it's NOT all about the material aspect of shopping. It's just something I like to do! Especially with good company.
 
And after my long day of shopping, Zach asked if I wanted to go to J&S with him and his parents.
 
 
DUH I wanted to go. J&S is my favorite!!
 
That was a great day.
 
 
[[Also this week I got to spend quality time with two of my other friends, Leanna and Alex.  I joined Leanna in the HPU radio room as she did her campus radio show on Wednesday from 12-2 (one of my old time slots!!!!! so many memories! haha). It was so good to see and catch up with her!
 
And last night I had an adventure at Buffalo Wild Wings with Alex and stayed with her and her adorable dog Bailey in her apartment in Hickory. Lots of bonding this week!]]
 
 
TOMORROW I'm selling some of my artwork and PORT SOUTHERN stuff at a festival in Archdale. I'll let you know how it goes!

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
