Christmas, Week 3

-
*Christmas: Week THREE!*
 
 
Monday, December 17 - craft party at Granny's!
We decorated stockings and made lots of other cool things!
We also made cookies and talked and had a great time.


 
 
 
 
Katie's stocking


(my stocking from the craft party and Zach made one a few days later :)
 
 
Then there are a lot of things that happened - I just realized I didn't take any pictures on Tuesday, Wednesday, OR Thursday. Oops.
 
 
 
Anyway, on Tuesday, I worked...
Then tutored at the library.
Then Zach and I went to J&S (FAVORITE).
Then Zach, Sarum, Chanelle, and I rode around Greensboro looking at Christmas lights.
(I so wish I had gotten a picture of the cool ball lights in the trees!)
 
 
Wednesday, December 19:
Had lunch with Flash. Always a good time.
Ashley and I ran errands, and later that evening, we took Granny to the Christmas event for the community at HPU.
They had hot chocolate, cookies, Santa, horse-drawn carriage rides, and choirs singing. We had lots of fun.
I love my alma mater :)
 
 
Thursday, December 20:
Went to church to help deliver food to families that needed it for Christmas.
Ran some errands.
Hung around the house for a while.
That night, Sarah, Alex, Chanelle, Sarum, Jolina, Zach, and I took our yearly trip to the Tanglewood Festival of Lights!
Always so much fun.
 
 
Friday, December 21:
The world did not end.
My mom and sister and I went to Belk to do some shopping and then had lunch at the mall.
I took Granny over to an old friend's house to visit. I love elderly people!!
I worked for a while.
Then I picked up Granny and we went through a live nativity/reenactment of the Christmas story at a local church. They had free apple cider and cookies. It was so nice.
We rode around and looked at lights.
Then went back to Granny's and watched Michael Buble's Christmas special!
Later, Chanelle, Sarum, and I did some late night Christmas shopping at Wal-Mart.
 
 
Saturday, December 22:
I mainly worked all day, but afterward, Zach and I hit up Belk since it was open til midnight.
 
 
 
Christmas nails
 
 
 
Sunday, December 23:
Church!
Took pictures in our Sunday Christmas best :)



 
 
 
Honeygirl trying to recover. She's been so sick all week :(

 
 
Also on Sunday, Ashley and I went to a Christmas play at a tiny local church. We didn't really know anyone there - just decided to stop in because we had seen the sign for it. It was so sweet. I really loved it.
 
 Then...
Christmas party at my uncle's!

 
 
Monday, December 24:
Honeygirl watching "The Year Without a Santa Claus" while sick :(


 
 
The rest of these pictures are also from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I've already written all I can write about them, so I'll just provide the links if you wanna read about those.

We rode and looked at lights and saw these awesome huge trees in people's yards. Hope they don't mind that we took pictures with them!




I got some nifty gift cards this year :)
 
 
 
Christmas was wonderful.

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
