Coming this Spring, Mr. & Mrs. Bertram :)

Hello our family!!
I am so sorry that it has been so long since either one of us has blogged. Andrew has been super busy with school and Sheri was waiting for this special announcement!!
So as we are sure most of you know, we are engaged!!! Finally right:) Here is the story from Sheri's side!

I was suppose to be catching a ferry Wednesday night to Tswassen to meet up with Andrew so that we could leave for Saskatchewan in the morning for his cousins wedding... Michelle had spent the day with me and at supper time she informed me that Stevie G had forgotten his marriage certificate at camp and we had to go and get it quick and bring it back to Ladysmith so that my parents could take it with them to his wedding.
Once we got to camp Michelle started heading towards the stairs, we enjoyed the view for a moment and I could see something that kind of looked like fire at the end of the dock. She wanted to go down and see if someone down there had a key to the office. It made no sense to me so I argued with her that we should just go to the lodge and see if we could find someone; but Michelle being the stubborn girl that she is insisted that we go to the water. About half way down the stairs I started to suspect something, my knees became very weak and I started to think about what I would say if it was what I thought. The rest of the walk down was me trying not to fall over :P We got to the pier and Michelle was just smiling big, trying to play it cool, but then she started to cry... I asked her if it was what I thought and she tried so hard to not give it away:) I got to the end of the dock and Andrew popped out from behind a wakeboard rack and lead me to the top of a candle outlined heart, he proceeded to read me the sweetest note and at the end got down on one knee and asked me to marry him :D I of course screamed yes and then screamed some more!!

We are so excited and so happy and are so excited to finally start living our lives together united as one by the greatest lover, God!

The date is June 2, 2012 and we would love it if you would be there to celebrate with us (please fb or email me your address)!

So here is a quick update on us...
Andrew has started his schooling at CBC in Abby and is in the Counselling and Caregiving program and doing amazing. He loves what he is learning even though there is more than a ton of reading to do. He is one studious man;)

I am working at a farmers market in the Deli and really enjoying it, learning a lot about what it means to have a job to be with people rather than the work (ex, I am not a huge fan of slicing meat, but enjoy the people I work with!). I am also trying to get licenced to sell insurence, not really what I want to do forever, but know it willl help pay the bills :)

As far as prayer requests, please pray for us as we have started a new journey as an engaged couple. Pray that I wont get super stressed and that Andrew will know when to tell me to chill :P Also I have been having a really really hard time with eatting for about 6 months and it is a constant battle, please pray for wisdom for both of us as we are trying to figure out how to beat this!

So this is our news:D
We will see you in June if not before!!
