Flashback Friday - Full of Fun Stuff

-
 
Flashin' back to some events that have occurred in early Junes past today!
 
 
 
 
#1: My brother graduated high school on June 5, 2010. I was so proud of him, and wrote a whole big thing that I'll post later.
(That was the last big event that Grandma was able to attend. :( I'm SO glad she got to see him graduate.)
 
 

 
 
 
 
#2: Went to Carowinds with some friends in June 2010 and rode The Intimidator for the first time. It changed my life. I remember riding on it, thinking I would die at first, and then all of a sudden everything became clear and life seemed to make so much sense.
I guess a headrush will do that to ya.
Anyway, it was one of the best days of my life, and that's how I remember that it was June 8, 2010.
That's the day I became interested in Zach, thanks to Justin Hite.


 
 
 
 
#3: Chanelle and I attended the SW High 2009 graduation, and watched Boots and other friends graduate. Yay!

 
 
 
 
#4: MY high school graduation - June 9, 2007. This is with my art teacher, Mrs. Coggins.  I took art all four years and even did a full year of AP art my senior year. It is because of her that I'm still in love with art ad creating things to this day. She pushed me to work with materials that I wasn't comfortable with (didn't wanna get messy HAHA), and now I'm completely fine with getting paint all over my clothes and skin and in my hair.
 High school was a wonderful experience for me, so this was one of the saddest days of my life. But I sure do have some great memories to look back on!

 
 
 
#5: Movie nights with Brooke! This is from June 2010 as well. We watched Bride Wars. Love that movie!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm also pretty sure I graduated from 8th grade ten years ago yesterday. I'm looking for pictures from that, but haven't found them yet.  That was literally one of the saddest days of my life (I'm so dramatic) because 8th grade was one of the best years of my life and I didn't ever want it to end ever. I wanted to be 80 years old and still in 8th grade because I loved it so much.
I remember crying with my friends as they played the 8th grade slideshow to "The World's Greatest" by R. Kelly and thinking my world was ending.
 
It was just beginning.
 
 
 
 
I love going down memory lane. :)

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
