letter, tape, pictures, package, phone call... :]

daniel flew out from salt lake to georgia and then to belgium yesterday! he got to call me in each airport! it was so much fun to hear his voice after two long months. he sounds great, but he's feeling a little nervous about leaving the m.t.c. i also got a package full of goodies yesterday. in the package dan sent a c.d. of all the pictures on his memory card. they were really fun to see and it still had a few photos from our trip to texas and his setting apart. he sent a tape too. on the tape he bore his testimony in french and it was really cool! i love having such a close relationship with a true servant of the lord. i'm so proud of him and i feel like we have both been waiting for him to actually go to belgium forever! he is and will be an outstanding missionary and i look forward to hearing from him now that he is out in the field.

ski bums.

this week was spring break. i went up to sun valley with a couple of friends in our rockin' mini van! we packed a cooler of food, crashed at a friend's, and skied all day long! it was a blast and the entire trip was less than fifty dollars, which makes it all the better! i had never been to sun valley and it turned out to be a beautiful place and the mountain was much bigger than our little pepple creek! it will certainly be a spring break to remember!

daniel got his flight plans! he leaves the mission training center on monday, march 30th. he is getting really excited. I can't believe he's been gone for two months today...only twenty two to go! but who's counting. Haha! i am super pumped to talk to him on the phone on monday. it will be nice to hear his voice! it has been so fun having him out there and he is a great example to me. i truly love hearing from him! i got another letter and pictures today. belgium here he comes.

daniel has been gone for six weeks today! it has been so fun to hear from him. he is doing really well and the language is finally starting to come. i'm so excited for him. i have already learned so much from him and we have become even closer through our letters. daniel has been much better at writing than i ever imagined...or expected! haha! i already have a binder full of letters from him. this past monday i received another letter and pictures. i thought i would share a few...

rookie.

i decided to start a blog! i thought it might be fun because i love looking at other peoples and seeing how they are doing. i'm a rookie blogger so hopefully i can figure out how to work all of this soon!
