Christmas, Week Two!
 
"The best thing about the nicest time of the year is getting to spend it with the ones you love the most!"
 
 
 
 
Monday, December 10th - Boone, then back to High Point for Yamato with Zach. Then he surprised me with a ride to look at Christmas lights and a trip to Krispy Kreme!!
 
 

Christmas bow on my car - Tuesday, December 11th (I put it on there before then though).
Also on Tuesday, I did a little Christmas shopping, tutored at Barnes & Noble (me and Jimmy looked at Christmas books!), and then I got to have dinner with Sarah and Holly at IHOP!
 
 
Wednesday, December 12th - I spent some time at Barnes & Noble just looking at books and magazines.
Ran some errands with Ashley - got some gifts at Bath & Body Works.
Then church, and went to visit a special friend, Denise!
 

 
Thursday, December 13th - me and Ashley went to get Christmas trees/snowmen painted on our nails at the nail place!
Then I took her to dance and when I picked her back up, we went to Kepley's. YUM. (I love Kepley's at  Christmas).
Then Zach and I went to a surprise birthday party! Lots of fun.
 

Friday, December 14th - I worked during the day.
My brother found out he got into Appalachian!
Then Zach and I took Granny to the Fox 8 Holiday Concert at the coliseum. Elvis made a special appearance! They commemorated his 35th year of passing by doing an "Elvis Christmas" special at the end. It was nice!

(Leaving the concert. AWW.)
 
 
 
 
Saturday, December 15th was lots of shopping! I went to Belk's in the morning by myself, then went back with Granny, then we took Ashley, then I came home and chilled before Rebecca, Alex, and I went to eat at Alex's House, an awesome restaurant in HP, and then back to the mall to work on some shopping. Then chilled at Granny's for a while!
 

Sunday, December 16th - a good morning at church :)
Then lunch and getting the tree with the family (little late this year haha).
Then Rebecca took some pictures of me, Michael, Ashley, and Honeygirl on the HPU campus. The pictures are to give as gifts for family!
Later that night, Granny, Ashley, Zach, and I went to the Christmas choir concert at church and to eat at Laha.

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
