Snowy Festivities February 2014 #throwback

-

I realized today that I started this post over a year ago and never finished it, which is a shame, because this is such a carefree and sweet memory - I wish I'd written about it when it happened instead of just sticking the pictures on here, saving it, and promising myself I'd finish it later.


Anyway, last year at about this time (actually it was early February), we had a snow(ice)storm a lot like the one we are in the middle of right now. I was in Boone, and we did some really fun things while we were "snowed in" and didn't have to work or go to class.


We worked on Valentine crafts and getting ready for the "single ladies Valentine's party" we had on Valentine's Day...




We celebrated Jennifer Aniston's 45th birthday by watching He's Just Not That Into You.
(JENNIFER ANISTON IS FLAWLESS!!!!!!)...



We drove out to a Christmas tree farm in Ashe County and took in the view and the silent, beautiful majesty of untouched snow in God's Country...


























I FaceTimed with my little snow bunny, who was back in HP...




I decided to accept the "snow challenge," which meant jumping in the snow in shorts and a tank top and videoing it. I can honestly say I've never been so cold, but once I thawed out, I got REALLY hot and thought I was going to die. So there's that.




The "Snowpocalypse" of 2014 made for one of my fondest memories in Boone (there are so many!). Looking at these pictures makes me so happy :)

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
