CROAKIE DOKIE!

-
I have a BIG announcement to make :)
 
 
...........I have started my OWN business - a company called "Croakie Dokie!"
 
The idea started maybe a year or so ago when Chanelle was joking around and said "You should start a croakie company called 'Croakie Dokie!'" We all got a good laugh, and I thought maybe it would be cool if I wasn't so busy.
 
Well, a few months ago, Croakie Dokie popped back into my mind.  Being in grad school with a lighter schedule, I'd actually have time to get a business up and running.
 
So I talked to Zach and we started writing a business plan, and I downloaded Adobe Illustrator and worked on some designs, sent a few ideas to the manufacturers, etc etc.
In early April, we got all of the designs set and the croakies were started!
 
On April 24th, the croakies came in!!
As I opened the box and looked through them all, I felt so overwhelmed and excited. All of my hard work had paid off. I saw that when I looked at all 400 shiny, colorful , beautiful croakies (some were for Port Southern - Zach's company)!
They were perfect.
 
I opened my business with a Croakie Dokie launch party on Saturday April 27th. 
(What a roller coaster it has been - Libby Hill closed down on Friday the 26th, and I launched my business the very next day. Talk about mixed emotions!)
BUT God saw one door closing in my life and helped me open another one immediately.
I feel so blessed!

I am so excited about this business venture! I can't wait to see my company grow and evolve. I'm not much of a business person, but I sure am learning! This process has been eye-opening for me and I can't wait to see what else I learn and how Croakie Dokie opens doors for me.

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
