Family Reunion

Back at the beginning of October Cole and I traveled to El Dorado, AR for a family reunion on for my Mom's side of the family. We really enjoyed spending time with extended family that we don't get to see that often. We ate lots of good food and shared lots of laughs.

UBC Fall Retreat

This year for retreat, the college ministry at our church decided to go to Castle Bluff, a retreat center that is about an hour and a half east of Fayetteville. We divided students into teams for a competition that lasted the entire retreat and on Saturday after lunch, used the facility's zip line and climbing and repelling walls for a little recreation. The retreat commenced with us stopping on the way back for catfish at the Kings River store just outside Kingston, AR.

Halloween

At UBC where we go to church, the college ministry started a Halloween tradition about four years ago which became a really big hit. We have a costume contest called the Runway where people come and strut their stuff in their costume down a real runway. It's so much fun and the costumes get better and more creative each year. The first place winner this year was a chinese dragon. Cole went as sleeping beauty for the first half of the night and as a snowglobe the second half of the night. The snowglobe suit was built out of plastic trash bags and he attached a small air pump on the inside to keep it inflated. He then made himself look like a snowman so when he got inside his "globe" he looked like a snowman inside of it. I went a little more simple and made a snow white costume and yes I did have 7 dwarfs to go with me.

Recently, we had a student from the BCM take pictures of us on Old Main lawn. She's a budding photographer and we figured we would give her some practice! Enjoy the pictures!

Bikes Blues and BBQ

Last night, Cole and I took one of my best friends, Ravonne to Bikes, Blues, and BBQ. We mostly ate really good food (talking about the taste here, and not the health), listened to the bands, and looked at the bikes. The food made a great photo op.

80's skate night!

So last week after a round of the flu and a very hard day at school for me, I went along with Cole and the college students at our church to the Springdale skating rink. We had an 80's skate party where all the students had to dress in 80's style clothing to go skating. We had a blast skating to great hits like "Living on a Prayer."

Update for the past month and a half

So, there have been a lot of changes for the Penicks in the last month. First of all, sorry I haven't posted. Problems with both computers and internet has limited my ability to post. Anyways, Cole and I have moved apartments from a one bedroom to and two bedroom. I'm not sure how we fit all of that stuff in that small apartment...by God's grace I guess! Also, if you haven't heard, I did get the job in Springdale that I interviewed for in July. It is such a blessing to be in the school you want to be in!!!! We have started another school year meeting new freshman at the U of A and hope for another fantastic year of ministering to college students for the glory of our heavenly father. We are so excited to see what God does this year and how he continues to transform us for his will. More posts soon!
