Cheeburger Cheeburger Challenge!

Last week, Bruce Chick gave the PC guys a challenge in order to drop a quiz in class. Each person had to eat Cheeburger Cheeburger's 'famous pounder' which is actually a huge 20 ounces (1.25 lbs)! (Can you imagine eating that much beef in one sitting?! I love red meat and all, but...ugh. I don't think I would be able to finish one of those!) Walt finished 3rd. Go babe! Josh Blount, the guy holding the burger, finished in 1st place. The entire class made it on the wall-of-fame! The picture is horrible quality but that's what the lady at Cheeburger gave me.

Congratulations Jeff and Katie!

PC in DC

The Pastors College students and their families went to DC on Saturday. Steve, our tour guide and generous host, took us for a tour of the National Mall and out to lunch at Union Station. It was such a blessed day to be with all of the other families and learning cool facts about the monuments and memorials.

Before the tour even began, we noticed a Pentagon helicopter hovering over Arlington National Cemetery. Steve said it was doing 1 of 2 things- either looking for snipers because the president was about to fly in or a dignitary was given a tour. His guess was the president was about to fly in because the helicopter was so patiently hovering over the area. So interesting!

In Awe of God's Creation

Back from the one-stoplight town of Franklin, WV and missing the beautiful fall colors we were in awe of all weekend...

Germany Valley

Strolled around Spruce Knob Lake- check out the gorgeous spots of red
(my favorite fall color)
It wouldn't be a complete Alexander trip in less we stopped for a coffee break :)
Seneca Rocks- we hiked this steep and beautiful trail to the top

As you can see, West Virginia in the fall is so breathtaking. These pictures don't do the real thing justice either. Chris and Diem, I thought of you guys as we drove up the mountain because you would absolutely love it up here. I recommend it for your camping vacation next fall. We were constantly in awe of God's majesty and marveled at His beautiful creation! Simply amazing! My favorite part about our weekend getaway was that I experienced it all with my babe. We absolutely loved every minute of it and so thankful for the Teter family for their warm hospitality! And to top it off, we got to hear our senior pastor from home preach at Living Faith Church. Oh the memories made!
