Recently.

I wanna share more of the fun and happy things I do, and so much awesome stuff has happened recently, but I will start with this past weekend.
 
This past weekend was pretty wonderful. On Saturday morning, I got to enjoy my first AXO Theta Rho Theta (alumnae chapter) event. We had brunch at Cracker Barrel. I got to meet some lovely ladies I hadn't met before and reunite with some I hadn't seen in too long! It was really nice.
 
 
 
I also got to see Brooke and her family and Lovelyn again, and got LC to go from crying to sleeping so sweetly. What an accomplishment! I love that baby.
LOOK HOW CUDDLY AND PRECIOUS SHE IS!!
 
 
 
 
On Saturday afternoon, I met some friends at the UNC spring game in Chapel Hill. The game did a good job of satisfying my craving for football. Football in the spring = :)
It was a super nice day. The weather was fabulous. It was a really fun day -- much needed. It was good to get away to somewhere besides HP or Boone. Not that I've been unhappy either place, by any means, but it's just nice to visit somewhere you don't get to go a whole lot! Especially somewhere as beautiful as Chapel Hill. I've always loved CH in the Spring. My middle school Latin class used to go there for convention in April! I've missed it. 
 
 
 
 
I got to spend a lot of time with my precious Huskador baby. I love her to pieces, and she just basks in the spring weather.
She currently really enjoys riding in my lap while I drive as we listen to Hillsong (she loves "Hosanna") and I pet her soft and sweet fur.



 
 
 
 
On Sunday, we had a really nice time eating our usual family lunch. We went to one of my favorite places (Rainbow - my grandma is part of the reason we all love it so much).
Later that afternoon, I got to meet the new baby of my friends Zak and Cursty. Baby Zaylen is precious. I didn't get a picture! But I can't wait to see him again soon.
 
 

On Monday evening, I got to go back to HPU to lead a little ceremony for the graduating girls of Alpha Chi Omega. Most of these were girls we started the chapter with, and so it was very special and hard to believe that they are already graduating! I had a lot of fun seeing everyone and it was neat to be able to be there for the first time as the alumnae chapter president. I love wearing my badge and pearls and getting dressed up :)
 





Sorority sisters, babies, a football game, good food...
It was a fab weekend spent with family and great friends!

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
