Once we got unloaded the fun CONTINUED! We have spent the last week trying to get settled into our new home. Things took a lot longer than I thought it would {isn’t that always the way?} but we are getting there! All of the boxes have now been unpacked or placed out of my sight …
The last two months have been an absolute whirlwind! Moving is the worst. There is just no other way to put it. There are so many moving parts and it is just overwhelm every day. Just days after we returned from our Disneyland trip, Mark was offered a job in Colorado. We luckily had been …
Saying goodbye to our home…it’s hard. We came into this home pretty broken. It maybe sounds crazy to some, but we were shattered when we had to leave Garden City and move to Rock Springs. Have you ever had a dream that you never really thought would happen? And then IT DOES! And then it …
General Conference General Conference is easily one of my favorite weekends. It has become like a holiday in the Berning household, we have a countdown chain and everything, we LOVE it!

What a year. Maybe I can say this now that we are in our second decade of marriage but we were such babies when we got married. So much life has happened since then. So much good. So much growth. Everything we have experienced has brought us closer. And I am grateful every day that …
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has been a long time favorite of mine. Something about him and how he teaches seems to resonate in a special way with me. And this talk was no different. Elder Uchtdorf spoke of how to be a better disciple. I appreciated the study that Elder Uchtdorf shared about how we …
This last month Lydia got her first wheelchair! And she LOVES it! Several people had warned me that this was going to be a really emotional experience, but it really wasn’t – or at least, it was only in a really positive way! Once we got her all in, I was so happy for her! …
