Snowboarding

Brock and I hit the slopes on Saturday for some snowboarding fun. We went to Bridger Bowl; it's about 16 miles out of Bozeman and it's super pretty.

We have decided since we are so close to many Ski Resorts here in Bozeman, we better live it up! So, last week I bought my own boots so I don't have to rent any more when we go. We are going to get me my own board too but I think we'll wait to see if they'll go on sale at the end of the season.

I must confess, I am still a beginner and spent most of the day fumbling down the mountain but I think there's improvement! Brock's a really great teacher and is full of patience when I make errors so that helps.( he's also quick to tease me for them too). He was teaching my "Toe-Side" turns on Saturday, we'll see if I can make it happen next time.

We have plans to hit the Mountain up again on Friday for some more fun! I hope my body has the strength and energy I need to pick myself up all day!!!

Keep on Keepin' On

Okay, so I had to put a fun Valentines background on...I couldn't resist any longer! I think it's way cute and fun!



Also, today is my niece Kaitlyn's birthday! So happy, happy birthday my sweet little niece, I love you lots and wish we were there to help you celebrate. We hope you have a happy day and have fun raking in the goods from a birthday party.

Burrr......

I had to make note of how cold it is today because I think it's the coldest weather I've been in for a really long time. Last week it snowed a couple days and now the cold has really set in. We didn't keep up on shoveling the snow and now I am really dreading it because it's so cold. Yesterday when we got home from Church our garage had a hard time closing and this morning we have frost on the inside of our windows and a little on the inside of our front door. The good news is that it is going to warm up...to a whopping -5*F! Yes, I'll be able to put on my shorts when I go out!

Winter Time

I really don't have much to report these days, life has slowed down a little for us in the Belnap household. The only news I have to report is that Brock and I are going to buy me my own snowboard and boots so I don't have to rent anymore when we go. We plan to get some good use out of the beautiful mountains here. I am so excited.

Winter Past: Cedar City

My cute brother Jonny and his sweet wife Heather just announced that they are expecting their first baby! I am so excited I can barely stand it, I am pretty sure they are excited too. I've already decided on some good names for their baby: Brock if it's a boy or Kimberly if it's a girl. I am almost positive that they'll use my suggestions because I Am Their Favorite Person. Well, Congrats you two crazy kids! Love you!

Happy New Year 2008

Holy Smoko', I can't believe another year has passed. I remember my mom always telling me when I was little that "time flies when you get old". I never could believe that as a child when every second seemed so long at times. Time really does fly!

This last year has been a whirlwind for us. This time last year we were just settling into our new house, jobs and ward. Here we are, again, just settling into our new home, jobs and ward in a new state. EEEKKK! You never know what the Lord has in store for your life and the paths he will direct you in. Brock and I have both felt the Lord's hand in our lives with all of our new adjustments. We are grateful for paths we've been on and are now on and we continue to put our trust and faith in the Lord to continue to direct us.

Our New Years Celebration was really fun and relaxing. We had some friends from our ward over for dinner, games and to ring in the New Year. We had a lot of fun and laughs. New Years Day we slept in, went shopping and saw National Treasure 2. We are excited for 2008 and all of the new adventures ahead!

Time really does go by so quickly! It's been 2 years now since Brock finished school. He finished December of 2005 and immediately began working for Wells Fargo in St. George. I can't believe how much our lives have changed since then, it's crazy.

We are certainly glad that we are done with school!

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
