My name is Connie Bergman. I have lived in the Bismarck area my entire life. I married my high school sweetheart, Brad, in 1983, one year after graduating from BHHS. Since we were so young, we chose not to have children immediately. We needed the time to mature and experience life.
On April 3, 1990 we were so excited! We had our first son, Gabe. With being the only child for five years, Gabe was spoiled, but also responsible for his age. This worked to all of our advantage, because he became the most important big brother on June 14, 1995. Triplet siblings, Caleb, Abby, and Jesse, were born. God miraculously changed our lives and what a wonderful change it was.
After nine years of employment at Dillman Eye Care, I had to make the tough decision to resign. Gabe was six years old and involved in many activities. The triplets were one, walking, and into everything. I needed to be home with my family. This was the beginning of my next journey, home daycare, eight to twelve children everyday for seven years.
Now that my children are older, I am able to work outside of my home. I was honored to join Advanced Smile Arts on March 8, 2004. "I am loving every minute of it", as Cramer on the sitcom Seinfeld would say. My coworkers adopted me as part of the family immediately. Each patient is such a joy to be around. The knowledge I’m gaining is incredible and I’m so hungry for more, I just can’t get enough. I am so thankful to have this wonderful opportunity.
I have very little spare time, with trying to support all four children in their many activities. I enjoy listening to Brad’s many musical talents. Occasionally, I do try to scrapbook to preserve all of our precious memories. We are so fortunate to have such a supportive family and friend base, so we do try to spend any extra time that we have with them. God does have a purpose for my life and I hope that it somehow involves you
