LeT iT sNoW!!!

The Holidays are upon us! Woo Hoo! I love Christmas time and the special feeling it brings! The house is decorated, most of the shopping done, and some of the gifts wrapped. I'm trying to finish everything else, and its taking some time, but hopefully it will be done for Christmas! Decorating the house is one of my favorite things about the holidays. So as always... Here are some pics of our decorations!

Our Stockings are hung by the chimmney with care.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

And Our Christmas Village

Instead of getting an ornament every year, we decided that we would get a piece to a village. We have a few extra pieces because that is what Jim and Celeste give me for Christmas too. I have loved villages for a long time, and I'm so excited to get ours out every year!

And just another decoration.

Santa came early again (as he has every year, and probably will until we have kids), and he was good to us as always. He brought Justin what he calls "baby Samsung" which hangs on our wall in the bedroom. (Its baby because its smaller than the Samsung in the living room).

I guess this baby will have to do for awhile...

Santa also brought me a sewing machine, because my old one broke and I really need to be able to make some Christmas presents this year. And he also brought me a new MP3 player, which I'm really excited about! Justin wants to get memberships to Bradshaw's Gym, so I needed a good MP3 to go and work out with him. :) We are trying to get ready for our cruise too! I'm so ready to go. Justin doesn't quite share the amount of excitement that I do, but I think he is more excited than he lets on too. We are just waiting for passports to come in so we can finish all of our preboarding stuff, then we will pretty much have everything in order to go. Well that's about all for the Berg home. We have been really really busy, and the calander is full for the rest of the month, so I'm sure my posts will still be far and inbetween but... Happy Holidays Everyone!

This Afternoon....

We got a crazy idea to bake some fun stuff..... and so we did! We are so sick of having nothing good to eat around our house, and way sick of the money spent splurging at the stores on yummy food like this.... so we actually made our own!

Chocolate covered pretzels......

Yummy cracker mix...

Halloween Sugar cookies...

Muddy Buddy Chex Mix...

And......

Carmel Apples of Course!

Don't worry... the majority of everything is in the freezer....It has to be put away because it really won't help me with my diet I'm starting for our.....

CRUISE!!!!

Woo Hoo! We decided that it is time for us to go on a cruise. We are hoping to go on a 7 day Carribbean cruise in January! We got the days off.... now we are trying to get everything done for our passport applications and trying to get everything booked! We are so stinkin excited!

Other than that, nothing else is new. We have just been staying at home and going to work... That is the story of our lives!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Bring on the Fall!

Well, its that time again. This summer has just flown by, I can't believe that it is pretty much gone. I am so exicted for fall to set in. I love the freezing cold mornings, crisp leaves, short days! I'm so ready for fall! I have alot of outside projects to finish this weekend so that we can really be ready. Justin has been working really hard on our shed for us. And his work is really paying off. The outside is almost complete! I can't believe that our backyard went from looking like this...

To this...

And finally.... THIS!!!

Its still a work in progress. Justin went to put up our vents the other day... And they were blue! So we won't be able to finish the siding until we make another trip to Utah within the next couple of weeks. We are painting the door red, then we are going to put up the white trim on the door, to make it look like a real barn door. I'm so excited! Here is one more picture that shows the best part...

The Turbine! I think it is so stinkin cute!

I didn't take any pictures of the inside... because it is a mess. We are hoping to start the electrical, and the insulation this weekend... Then finish the loft, and maybe then I will take a pic!

While Justin's been doing this...

I've been doing THIS!!

Dang blogger won't let me delete, or turn this picture around. Sorry!

These are my dang cute little girl, and little boy quilts. I still need to app. them so they are a little hard to see right now, but once I get them finished, they will be So cute!!!! And just for the record... No we are not expecting a baby. I just want to get these done before we have one, because once we do, I won't have the time to do them I'm sure!

This is my other project.... I'm hoping to get done before Christmas. This is a stinkin cute tree skirt, and I love it! Man, Valley Fabric has the cutest patterens! The babies will have to hold on for awhile... I have to start Christmas presents in the near. Future... Yes Christmas is coming fast!

Justin and I also found the time to go camping. It was a much needed get away. And was a total blast! I feel bad for people who live in the city that don't know how many stars in the sky there really are, or don't get to see deer beside your camp. It is so beautiful!

Seriously... how much prettier can your front yard get?

Justin and I have been trying to get fancy in the kitchen too. We made salsa a few days ago, and yesterday I made homemade bread! We haven't been able to have homemade bread forever because our house has been so hot! It tasted so good!

We don't have much else planned for the rest of the summer. Just finish up our projects that we didn't get done at the beginning of the summer. Hopefully we will knock a bunch out with our extra long weekend. Justin has the phone and is on call, so we can't go anywhere anyways! We will probably make a trip down to the fort to have a navaho taco and some root beer! Hopefully I can post some fun finished projects after this weekend!

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!
