NASCAR, Luke Bryan, and a Wedding

-
Some really fun things happened in late May/early June that I never got the chance to share...
 
 
Like getting into our FIRST EVER Luke Bryan concert when it had been sold out for weeks, and we drove to Charlotte without tickets and somehow found someone that gave us tickets for $20.
 
BEST CONCERT EVER,
even though it was raining.
 
 
My Facebook status the next day:
 
[[[ "Last night, my ride-or-die, Ashley, and I drove to Charlotte for the sold-out Luke Bryan concert that we DIDN'T have tickets to. We were planning on listening from the parking lot because you only live once right? Some people called us crazy but HAHA WE GOT IN FOR TWENTY BUCKS AND IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I'VE EVER BEEN TO!! It was an outdoor concert and pouring rain the whole time and I even woke up this morning with my hair still wet but now I firmly believe that "RAIN IS A GOOD THING." ]]]
 
 
 
 
ANOTHER Luke Bryan concert a couple weeks later in Raleigh, that we got into for FREE, and it did not rain, and we made some new friends and got to dance and sing the same amazing songs again, except this time Luke did some improv covers and sang "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis
(my second favorite song EVER, and I'm the biggest Elvis fan you'll meet), and I lost it. People probably thought I was insane yelling, "THIS IS BETTER THAN BEING ON MY HONEYMOON RIGHT NOW!!!"






 
I could go to a Luke Bryan concert every week. :)


 
 
 
 
Abbie got married! Not only was the wedding beautiful, but one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to! So much dancing and music and good food! And I got to see a lot of my AXO sisters that I've missed so much!










 
 
 
And I cannot forget about my first NASCAR race experience! It was everything I dreamed it would be - bright lights, smell of burnt rubber, cars so loud you couldn't hear yourself think... The Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte!! Woohoo!!!

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
