Nine Years

Mr and Mrs Brett Bergener~

Our Introduction 9 years ago as we exited the LA Temple as husband and wife,

sealed eternally together forever. I love you Brett!

We made it to #9.

It hasn't been easy but it has definitely been worth it! I know there are a few more trials, some lessons, and a lot more love to be had in the years to come. I couldn't be the wife and mother that I know I need to be without the guidance that I receive from my Father in Heaven and through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with modern day prophets. I am so fortunate! I love Brett, and I love these precious children that are sealed to us too. Nix has a look that makes him seem so old to me, a lot of the time I just start to smile and realize that he is so little still, so smart, but still so little. He asks questions all the time, and I love answering the questions he asks, I feel so smart as I explain things in the most detail I can, which obviously creates more questions. Tino makes me smile as he explains things to me in his language that hasn't been created before. Maybe other 2 year olds would understand him perfectly. I also smile when I stop and think, this being inside me will be outside me really soon. Terrifying, but WONDERFUL! I'm excited. Nine years and counting!!

We celebrated by sending the kids to play at their wonderful Aunt Amy and Uncle James' house. Then we enjoyed a nice dinner out at Salt Creek Grill. It was fun talking and laughing just the two of us. We ordered a bunch of stuff and shared everything including my favorite chocolate souffle, they gave us a cake with a candle in it to blow out. We wished for a better year together than the years passed. It really keeps getting better. Our dates are always so fun, you really appreciate them more when you have kids too. My wisdom to share with married people: be selfless, forgiving, and keep dating!! Life can always be better with hard work and a whole lot of LOVE!
