The CK Daily – A Weekend of Celebration!
Happy Wednesday!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed a weekend full of football and family. I was rooting for an ECU win and boy was it a tough loss to NC State – but here’s to the next game!
This weekend we celebrated my younger brother’s 18th birthday! We did several things leading up to his big day but this weekend was the cherry on top. My parents invited our whole family to join us for a day of fun at Candytopia and then lunch at Sugar Factory. It was a blast! We all had such a blast celebrating him and the adventures to come in the year ahead. I think it’ll be a celebration we will never forget!
Do you have a birthday celebration you’ll always remember?
I hope you have a great week!

In recent times we’ve seen our lives shift in ways we never expected. Countrywide shutdowns and fear-mongering headlines have led to unnecessary alarm and panic. All these worst-case-scenario predictions are leading people to question whether our situation may be more ominous than we initially thought.
One of the interesting spikes in searches we’ve seen is related to the zombie apocalypse. People have shown increased searches for survival guides, stockpiling food, and have even wondered whether the coronavirus is the beginning of a zombie apocalypse.
