Within the last year The Bergman Family has been "Thankful" for many things: Most of all for God's love and guidance to help us face the many challenges that we have had along the way. Thankful for our strong faith in His love and for family and friends. We build our Trust in the Lord and thank Him for the many Blessings He has bestowed on us. For with faith in God all is possible.
Jason, Tina and the kids have been really busy. Jason has been taking college courses online to further his education. He is still unemployed but is building his knowledge to improve his education and hopefully find a suitable job in Computer design and technology.
He is doing well and has been working extra hard so that he may be able to change his career path. Walmart just wouldn't be the place to shop for Christmas gifts if Tina didn't devote so many hours working. The kids are involved with many sports activities, the football season just ended and Jason helped coach Dakota's football team. Dakota played for Northridge this past season and did very well, he is a fast runner and likes the game. Kate was a cheerleader and lead the girls with all the cheers. Jason and Tina devote alot of time making sure the kids got to practices and games. Fred loves to get involved with the kids, one time he even went and worked on the chain gang. It was fun to go and watch the games and see Dakota play and Kate cheer. Dakota also played baseball and Karen played softball during the summer. This year the twins (Dakota and Katie) are in the 3rd grade and Karen is in the 5th.The kids sports and school schedule is very full and they are constantly on the go. Matt is now a freshman at Northridge High School which he is enjoying. He is a good student and likes to hang out with his new friends. He's not much into sports but has a good work ethic. Matt helps Tina's Uncle with his farm and has a willing determination to help us with anything. Time flies and the grandkids are growing up right before our eyes.
GREAT NEWS!!!! Jessica and Matt got married October 9th.....it was a beautiful intimate wedding. Small in nature due to the financial challenges the economy presents all of us. They were married at UD where they both went to college followed by a reception at the Bainbridge Hall. If you would like to see pictures, they can viewed on Jessica's facebook photo link. Matt is working at Dave Dennis as a car salesman until he can further his career with the Dayton Police Department. It has been his desire to build upon his degree in Criminal Justice and be a policeman. This has been challenging! But he is a great guy filled with determination and drive and soon he'll accomplish that goal. Matt has been with Jessica since their junior year of high school and they are very happy. Jessica is now teaching at Holy Angels Catholic School. She is teaching 6th grade Math, Language Arts and Religion. She taught at Miamisburg Neff Elementary for 2 years but due to budget cuts she was let-go. Teaching at a Private school has been a whole new experience. Between teaching and planning her wedding she was very busy. Her spare time is next to none. Matt and Jessica have planned a honeymoon to Disney during the Christmas holidays.
Joe graduated this past May from Northridge. He was working first before college at ANC in Fairborn, but unfortunately was recently laid-off. The search for employment has been frustrating. He would like to work for awhile, build his finances and then start his education at Sinclair or at a Technical School. He wants to be a computer gamer along with a technical writer and create programs of new computer graphics and design for games. Joe still occupies his time on the x-box and is nationally ranked with his wins. Just the other day his opponent was Russian and actually lived in the Soviet. Amazing how one can play against others from all around the world. This summer he played on stage at Kings Island, maybe you saw him on Youtube? If not, he can be viewed by going to youtube, type in superjasonb and look for rockbandfritz, Joe is the big guy with the cowboy outfit.....it's hilarous.
Grandview Hospital is Fred's second home. He works his 3am shift and sometimes longer. His 56th birthday is right around the corner. I only have to blink and the years fly by. Fred gave up his Bengal Season tickets this year after being a loyal fan for over 25 years. Now he just watches them on the TV and gets very frustrated with their inability to win. Fred does spend time going to the grandkids games. He is their most loyal fan. He does seem to get as irritated with the officiating at times as he does with the Bengal games. This football season he watched Dakota and tried to give him winning strategies and pointers. Hit them low and hit them hard. Dakota tried to make grandpa proud. One game Fred even joined the chain gang so the game could start. Fred and Jason still bowl with the Knights of Columbus. Jason has already gotten his 300 game ring and with every week tries to get it again. He missed a 700 series by the 7 pin standing this past Monday nite. Fred loves his sports whether it be the kids playing, the Bengals, the Reds and even the Dragons. If he were given a choice I am sure his spare time would be filled with them all. Fred takes dad to Frickers for their chicken specials, to get Dad some down time for fun. Fred went to Vegas earlier this month and stayed at the Planet Hollywood and enjoyed some time with Frank and Debbie trying to be BIG WINNERS......
[Suzanne is] still Office Manager at Nation Grinding, going on 17 years. It was touch and go as to whether the shop was going to stay in business but with the grace of God and alot of hard work, I think we are going to survive. I am still involved at church and cantor twice a month and am a Eurcharistic Minister. It was fun helping Jessica plan her wedding and amazing at all the expenses.We have only been planning since she was a little girl, just kidding! She made a beautiful bride and I am proud to be her mother. It's hard to believe how quickly our children grow up and make their own lives and memories.
Thanks Suzanne
