Blog Brag

I need to have a little blog brag about two of my sweet sisters. First we will start out with Morgan. Mt. Nebo FFA had their annual banquet tonight. At this banquet they announce the new officer team for the upcoming year. If you were wondering who is now stationed beneath the rising sun, or aka the Presiedent, Morgan is the one. She is only going to be a junior, but she has worked so hard and is just the smartest,cutest, and funniest girl. Everyone says that we look just alike now only if I could be as cool as her! I am so proud of her and she really derserves this. I just want her to know how much I love her.
Now for Fallon. Two weeks ago Fallon competed at the State Gymanstic Meet. She placed 1st in two of her events and 5th in the other. In the words of my pappa, she had a really good pass going until she ate it and her face hit the mat... It was AWESOME! Well that is my father for you. I am so proud of Fallon she goes to tumbling for six hours a week, and practices at home. She is so sweet, the most caring person that you will ever meet, and loves everyone.
I love both of my sisters so much and want them to know how proud them I am. Even though I am their older sister I look up to all of my sisters so much. They are such great examples to me.
Morgan is the one on the left, and Fallon is on the right.

Called to Serve

"Welcome to Relief Society." If you were to attend the Snow College Married Ward on a Sunday when the 2nd counselor was conducting the voice that you would hear would be mine. I was recently called to the Relief Society Presidency.
I have felt that there was going to be some change in our lives, more directly to mine, but I had no idea what it might be. Saturday afternoon I got a call from our Ward Secretary asking if I could meet with the Bishop the next morning before the block.
When I arrived in the Bishops office he said "Meagan why do you think that you are here." I said " I am going to get a calling to be in the Relief Society Presidency." I don't know how I knew.I have been a little on the edge these past couple of weeks with everything that is going on, so I think that our Heavenly Father let me in on the secret of the calling so I could prepare myself.
We were sustained and set apart later that afternoon. I love all of the ladies that I will be serving with. They are all such special spirits and I can not wait to get to know them more. It was so spiritually filling to hear them all be set apart, and to have all of our husbands there supporting us. I love Travis so much he has just been so good about supporting me in everything and especially this.
This means that I am will be the main person in charge of enrichment night, so if any of you sisters have some good ideas I would love to hear them.

Our Crazy Past Couple of Weeks

This past weekend was amazing. It was the State FFA Convention in Logan. It was so amazing to get to see the girls again. I have never had closer friends, they were more like sisters to me and I love all of them dearly. I do not get to see them very often and so it was wonderful to get to spend three whole days with these lovely ladies. Even though it was so great to see my gals again. It does not even compare to the other event of the weekend.
And the 2009-2010 STATE FFA REPORTER IS EMY PETERSON.


I am so proud of Emy. She has worked so hard for so many years to reach this goal. She did so good with her on stage question and worked so hard to make her individual presention perfect.
She was the second person called in the Saturday session when they announced the new officers. I was sitting next to my mother and all of my sisters. They had just announced and the new state reporter from the Mt. Ne and by then we were on our feet screaming and crying. Emy deserves this so much. She is the sweetest girl and has had a really tough year. It was so good to see her smiling. I want her to know how much I love her. She will be the best officer ever, and have the most amazing year.

EASTER
Travis and I were also able to celebrate Easter together this year. We started out the festivities with Easter eggs, which I totally think capture our personalities. Mine was sparkling pink and Travis of course had a John Deere egg.


I also thought that we should celebrate with our own little Easter baskets Travis thought that it was a little cheesy, and that you should only do baskets if you have kids, but I held strong and....
Now for the saddest thing that has happened to our little family in a long time. Travis does the cutest little things all the time. For Easter he decided that he was going to get me something that he was sure I would love. That is how little Tedd and Izzie became apart of the Dyreng Family. I loved my two little ducks, I built them a little habitat and named them, they lived in our kitchen. We took them to my parents and let my sisters and brother play with them. The next day we were going to babysit Kera's little kids Hallee and Hunter. I thought that it would be a great idea to take the little ducks down so that they could play with them. It was so cute. Hunter would pet them and then laugh and Hallee would tell the ducks that she loved them and then feed them and just giggle. It was adorable. I sat out there with them for about forty five minutes and then ran into see Kera's fireplace. I thought that it would be okay to leave them out there with the ducks for just a couple of minutes. I guess that those couple of minutes were just a couple to many, because soon Hunter came running in and said Aunt Meagan your ducks... they are dead. I thought I must not have heard right and went running to the door. Travis beat me out into the garage. It was true Little Izzie and Tedd had perished. Hallee had thought that since the ducks had wings they must fly. She tossed them down the stairs to see if she was right. Other things must have happened, but I did not stay out there to check. Travis gave our little duckies a very nice burial in Kera's new backyard. I will admit that I cried later over the loss of my little duckies.
It was really sad to see Hallee though she did not understand that she could no longer play with her little yellow friends. We will miss you Tedd and Izzie Rest In Peace!

Home Update.

I can not believe that it has almost been a week since all of this happened, and I really should have written about it sooner, but I think like everyone else that was involved we just needed so time to get our emotions under control.
My last post was about my parents moving out of their house this is the amazing follow up story for all of you that may have not heard it. Last Friday was a great day. Travis had a really long drill weekend.(Not So Great I Really Missed Him!). So instead of being home by myself I decided that I would head over to Nephi and help my mom pack up some stuff. Friday night was pretty relaxing we rented a movie, bought a ton of treats and just hung out as a family. It was a really nice way to spend what we didn't know at the time would be the last night in that house. I went to bed pretty early and woke up the next morning to a phone call from my mom. She was frantic asking if I could load the dishes do anything. There were people coming to our house right now. I immediately went into panic mode. I was whirling around the kitchen trying to pick things up. My mom walked in a few minutes later and told me the incredible news.
My dads cousin Pat (I love him) had called their house that morning. Pat stated that he had this great idea during the night. He had a subdivision in the lower part of Mona. There was an empty house in the subdivision and Pat asked our family to move into it while my dad had the operation and recovery period. What a blessing. At my grandparents all four of the remaining siblings would of had to have slept in one bedroom, and everyone would of had to share a bathroom. In the house that Pat offered everyone has their own room, and there are plenty of bathrooms.
I can not tell Pat and my Heavenly Father how grateful I am for this blessing that they have given my family. The story only gets better. We had so many loved ones come and help us move that we had my parents house completely moved out to Mona by 6:00. So many people came and just saw what needed to be done and just started. Sweet Aunt Jill was the first one on the scene, and the last one to leave . She packed up the entire kitchen. We really do love you so much. Family and Friends all took time out of their Saturday to help my family.
I can not even express how blessed I am for the in laws and beautiful sister in laws that I have. Diane, Allen, and Natalie all came to help us. It was so sweet of them and they will never know how much it meant to me. Diane and Allen just cleaned out my moms pantry loaded it up and then set it up in the new house. Natalie played match maker, and both sides of the family are really hoping that works out :).
I would just like to thank everyone that came and helped. I would like to thank you all personally but there is just to many to mention and I fear I would leave someone out. Just know that I love all of you and I am so grateful for the love and support that you show my family. Pat I will never be able to express the gratitude that me and my family have for you. You have given us a blessing that nobody else could. Thank you.
I thought that my testimony was strengthened before but I will never be able to express the gratitude and the spirit that was felt that day. Even though everything should have been a mess, and emotions should have been high. There was a strange peacefulness about the day, and I know that Heavenly Father did that.
The flood gates have really been opened to my family and blessings poured down. I love them so much and I am so grateful that these things could happen to them. My mom got her dream of returning back to Mona, and my dad soon gets his surgery. Oh ya and to add to the blessing list the doctor has donated his cost and the company that makes the nerve blocker has also donated the machine. I don't know how we became so blessed, but thank you Heavenly Father.
Thank you mom and dad for being the people that you are. You deserve this more than anyone. Thank you Pat. Thank you everyone that helped. You were like my families little angels that day.
