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! This conference was a little tricky. We are moving in a matter of days and so the house is in chaos and every moment …
All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens …
Sarah is such a bright light in our family. I mean, just look at that face?! She is sweet, brave, resilient, kind, and has an awareness of others that is beautiful. A day spent with Sarah is bound to be an amazing day and we love our little girl so much. A couple months ago, …

Last November, Lydia had a sleep study done – you can read about that HERE. After the sleep study they recommended she get put on oxygen. This was a hard blow for us. We also scheduled an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat doctor as well as with pulmonology. Oxygen Welp, it hasn’t been …
Ever since we got back from Disneyland our house has become a topsy-turvy crazy mess! The weekend before Valentine’s Day, Mark was offered the position in Colorado and on Valentine’s Day, he formally accepted! It was the best. The only downfall is our life has become consumed with all of those details involved. But we …
