Mayberry Days!

-
 
"I miss Mayberry, sittin' on the porch drinkin' ice cold Cherry Coke, where everything was black & white..."
 
Zach and I love to go to Mt. Airy, NC, and we haven't been in a while, so we decided to go last Friday.  We didn't know (until my dad mentioned it) that they were going to be having their annual "Mayberry Days" festival, celebrating the town of Mt. Airy (aka "Mayberry") and the beloved Andy Griffith Show.  Also along for the fun was Sophie, Zach's cousin's adorable two -year-old!
 
We found out it's a pretty neat experience.  There were tours and people dressed up as the Andy Griffith Show characters, and all of the cute little stores were open with their fall and Christmas merchandise and the soda shops were full of people.  It was like going back in time (just like every visit to Mt. Airy is!). 
 
I barely remember my dad taking us to Mayberry Days when I was younger, and of course I've been to Mt. Airy many times in the past few years, but this was something unique!
 
 
 
It was such a fun time!

 She loved the purse store!!


 
We painted nails while waiting for our lunch at the soda shop. Her hands are so TINY!
 
 haha!

Sophie got a lollipop :)
 





And I had to post a pic of the cool purchases that were made! The Elvis purse is one I picked out for myself, and Zach picked out the Appalachian purse all by himself and got it for me! How sweet.
 
I also got my dad an Andy Griffith Show dvd set and a country hymns album because his birthday was this past weekend. 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

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
