All These Things and More

-





These pictures are in no particular order, but these are some of the fun Christmas things I've been up to over the past couple of weeks!


 
 
 


Tonight we made stockings!
The stockings are like $1.00 at Hobby Lobby and $1.00 for a pack of two at the dollar store.
 



Grace and I made wreaths and other Pinterest-inspired Christmas crafts a few weeks ago!

CHRISTMAS TREE IN OUR APARTMENT! We had so much fun decorating it.
(Note the decoration on Kacie's door!)
 
 
It wouldn't be Christmas without a red glittery bow on the front of the Black Pearl!
 

Oh, and Honeygirl got a Christmas tutu...
 

and we went to the Jamestown Christmas parade. She loved it.

High Point Christmas parade in my snazzy red pea coat.
 
 
Family Christmas kickoff party, matchy-matchy with Jonathan.
 
 
Getting our tree for our apartment! We got it at a little tree lot run by the Boone Boy Scouts!
 
 

Getting my little tree for my room at home - always a tradition.
 
 

All decorated!
 
 

Grinch nails.
 

Adorable tree that gives off the sweetest light in my room in Boone. Ten bucks at Walmart, ten bucks well-spent!
 
 

Tis the season for Christmas bows...
 


And final papers.
(But doing homework at McDonald's made it more bearable)





Aaaaand... No Christmas season is right without a visit to Tanglewood Festival of Lights!!
 
 
 
 
 
More festive-ness coming soon!

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.

Our Busy Schedules Don't Mean We Are Successful

-
Yesterday I read a devotional about schedules. I love the Bible app (YouVersion), and I cannot start my day without having my coffee and reading my morning devotion on the app (in the afternoons I read a different passage from the Bible). Today the app told me that I have a 100 day streak! That means I have read a devotion in the app every day for the past 100 days. *Let me go off on a tangent and say that if you're treating the Bible app like Snapchat and just open it and click through a post to "save your streak" and don't really comprehend what it says, this method of accountability isn't really effective and you're just going through the motions to 'save the streak.'* Anyway, yesterday's devotional (from "Passion and Purpose" by Charles Stanley) was about not filling your schedule and how today's world is fast-paced and we feel the pressure to "keep up." How if we aren't busy, we feel like we aren't doing
