Quote

Hi again, I know what your thinking... Megan blogging to days in a row? CRAZY! But I wanted to share a quote that Lyndee posted this morning on face book that I totally LOVE!!

You are what you think. Think it Today, become it tomorrow. Nothing can Help you or hurt you as much as the thoughts you carry in your head.

Nothing much has changed since yesterday. Justin with the help of his dad and brother got the floor of our shed done today. I'll post pics as more of it comes up. Right now the lights in my house are flickering from them using the power outside so hopefully they don't trip the breaker. It was a long Wednesday for me today. Wednesday means ortho day, which means working with a bunch of teenagers, but it was a good day and only got crazy once. I love my job! It ended wonderfully! I got to take out about 8 stitches by myself! It was so cool! I've done a few before, but usually had some one with me, but today I did it! It was my favorite part of the whole day! Well... I best be off doing my quilt block ( Class is on Saturday) so if I want to get the next one free I had better get movin on it!

Just Living Our Lives

Well, where to begin! This past week and a half has been completely hectic! I had a week off last week and it was wonderful! I love working, but at the same time it was nice to have a few days off to do what I wanted to do. On monday I got my hair cut and dyed, and I completely love it! I went more blond and got it cut pretty short. It is so easy to take care of, and is so stinkin cute, even when I don't have time to do it! Tuesday night my mom and I went to the Bridger Valley Home Show. It was a blast! I had no idea that there were so many beautiful houses in Lyman, it really makes me want to get on the ball and paint my house! On Wed we went to Lagoon, something that we both love doing, but only get to go once a year. But it was a blast. The middle of the week is the time to go! We didn't ever wait in a line over 15 minutes, and we got to ride the rides we wanted to go on a ton! Thursday was my relax day, even though it was pretty busy too. And Friday and Saturday we were at Home Depot...blah! Friday was ok, and so was Saturday... for the first 3-4 hours or so... we ended up leaving from the valley at 6:30 a.m. and we didn't get home until 9:30 p.m. Granted we had 2 trips of lumber to bring home but it was still a really long day! So what are we building you ask?... A shed! We have been planning on it all summer, but finally got our butts in gear. Justin, Jim, My Dad, and Bronson have all worked on it off and on the past 2 days, but at least the floor is almost done and the ground is level! I'm so excited for it to be built and done! It will have a big gambrel roof, with a loft in it! And the best part is... we are saving a ton of money doing it ourselves! We looked at the kits at home depot, and for them to be installed and everything was well over 6 thouand dollars to build, when we are building ours for about 2. It will be wonderful once its completed! After the shed is built, we will be awaiting the well permit to come in... so we can start our wall and water tank so we will be ready for the sprinkler system and sod next year. Which reminds me that I need to have Justin fill up the weed eater so that I can try and weed wack in the morning so we no longer will have a jungle. That is all that we really have been up to for the past couple of days. I actually got up and walked with my mom and sisters this morning, which felt really good and my turbo jam dvd's finally came in today, so hopefully I'll be more on the ball with my exercising too. If any of you are like me, and hate running, and don't have very much ambition to exercise yourself then turbo jam is the way to go. I borrowed my mom's and loved it so much that I bought my own, and it will be completely worth it! We dont' have much planned the next few weeks, probably just working on the shed, and going on bike rides. I'm into the cooking thing again too, which has been nice. I loose all ambition for cooking for a week or two, then the next few weeks I love to cook, its kinda weird, but oh well at least I'm doing it now. Well that's all for now thats going on in our lives. Hopefully some day we will have something fun to show!

Alive

Well, this will be just a quick post, before my amazing hubby gets home!! I'm really greatful for the ot he has been working both last weekend and this weekend... But I'm really missing him tonight! We are still alive, just have been working nonstop the past couple weeks, so I have nothing really to talk about. Not next week, but the week after I get the week off for my vacation so we are trying to plan a few things! Lagoon is something on the list and we are really looking forward to it! We need a vacation after all of Justins overtime and all of my deep cleaning! It seems like whenever he works any ot I end up cleaning the house like crazy! I'm going to finally get my hair cut and redyed too! It will feel so good to have it done again!

Last night Justin and I went on a date. We had dinner with his parents in Evanston. We ate some really really good prime rib and then Justin and I went to The Proposal! It was such a good movie, there were 2 times that are close your eyes parts, but overall it is an awesome movie and will keep you laughing the whole time!

Well, its not long, but at least everyone knows we are still alive! I'll post more fun soon I hope!

Catch Up

Wow, since joining facebook, I have kinda ignored my blog. So I guess its time to catch up! We have spent the past 3 weekends doing yardwork. 2 trips to the dump, and about 20 garbage cans later, our yard looks tons better. We straightened out our gravel, took junk to the garbage, made flowerbeds minus the flowers, just got them ready for another year. We had to go to homedepot to buy a weed wacker, and ended up getting some flowerpots and flowers that I planted, and I love having some color! Annie graduated, and I'm way excited for her. Its just so weird that she is old enough to move out and go out into the real world. We went to her graduation and then Justin and I went to Star Valley for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was wonderful to just get out of the valley, away from the house, and have a few days off of work. We are so lucky that his grandparents have a beautiful home up there that we can go stay in and have a few days to ourself. We went shopping in Jackson, went golfing, watched movies, and just spent some good quailty time with each other. Now I'm home, and Justin is working swings so...I'm glad we had the weekend. Happy anniversary Honey. I'm so lucky to be married to you. You are so wonderful! I love you!

Inside our Lives

Wow, a am totally in shock that it is already May. Last month I turned 21, Landon turned 16, and Rachel turned 13. It is so crazy how fast my brothers and sisters are growing up. This was the toughest birthday for me so far, I really didn't want to turn 21. I was happy and content at 20, but you can't really stop a birthday. It was fun, I went to Provo with my parents while Justin stayed home and worked. When I got home the kitchen was clean... weird Justin doesn't usually clean the kitchen on his own, but he cleaned it because his family and my family suprised me and came over with a cake. It was pretty fun. Thanks to everyone who made my birthday a special one.

These are the knobs that Celeste bought me for my birthday to update 0ur dressers and nightstand.

And here is the book my mom bought me that I have really wanted to display, and one of the trees we bought from Ikea.

Justin and I also started painting our house, something that we have needed to do, and haven't. But since we bought a car instead of doing a yard this year, we decided that we would do the inside home improvements this year, so we started with our bathroom. Its not all the way done yet (edging is a pain), and we need to go buy new trim, but its done for the most part, and completely livable. Its pretty wild, but we love the colors. I want to splash some pink, and a brighter green into it, but well, funds are always low aren't they, so we just do what we can and will use what we have for right now. Justin also put shoe shelves in our closet for us. When Celeste was building her house, she read a thing that said nothing should be on the floor in your closet, so Justin, Bronson, and Kade, put shoe shelves up for me, yea:)

One side of the bathroom, its blue and dark brown, don't mind the trim not being up!


Here is looking from the other way, I couldn't get a good pic of the shower, it looked too black, but it looks nifty too!

Here are half of the wonderful shelves the boys bought for me :) Thanks boys!

We also got to go speak to the youth in our ward last week for a fireside with Weston and Lacy Maxfield. We got to speak about going to the temple and what it ment to us. I was so greatful for that opportunity. When you sit down to think of what to tell the youth about the temple, you remember just how wonderful the temple is. Justin and I are sealed forever, and we will be able to go live with our heavenly father again someday. It is wonderful to think about all the blessings we have recieved this past year from going to the temple. It will be 2 years since we've been married the first of next month, and will be 1 year since we have gone through the temple a week after that. What an amazing year for the both of us. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for the opportunity that we had to go to the temple.

My calling is going good. Some weeks it seems like I reach out to the kids more than others, but we have fun and learn along the way. Next week we will be singing for the first time since I've been chorister, in sacrement, and while I'm a little worried about it, I'm so proud of the kids in my ward and all the hard work they put into singing for their mothers. I'm so grateful for my calling, I'm loving every minute of it!

Last Tuesday Justin was able to take the day off with me and go to a Dr. appt (no, no babies on the way). It was so nice to go stay in a hotel the night before, and just get away for awhile. After my appointment we went to Tai Pan, and Ikea, and Costco of course. We didn't spend much (I'm sure Justin was thrilled that we didn't), but we did get some vases, bamboo plants, and 2 other plants, curtin rods, place mats, ya know, the good old things to make your house a home. After that we went to the zoo which was so much fun, neither of us had been there for a really long time, and even though they are kinda low on big animals right now, it was so much fun to go and see all the animals that they did have.

Speaking of the animals, here is the quilt block that we are doing this year. The pattern is from Geralyn Powers. This is the first thing that I have ever really hand sewn, and I love the way its turning out. The first two quiltblocks are totally done, the lion I still need to sew around.

Jan/ Feb Quilt block, there was alot of work on this one.

March Quilt Block

April's Quilt Block

This is the cute lion, Jana had some fuzzy material she gave me for the mane and tail, and I love it!

Other than that, the Bergs have been pretty boring lately, hopefully one day life will slow down a little bit, I'm sure it won't, but its always worth a hope:)
