Welcome to the Gardner's blog!

After graduating from college in May, getting married in July, and starting a new job in August, I've decided to blog about this crazy/busy/changing/fun season of life! :) I do not claim to be a good writer and by no means do I think that my posts will always be grammatically correct. So, this is your fair warning.

I'm not going to be super intense about what I write about or how often for that matter, I just really want to use this as a tool to look back on this season of life as well as a way for family and friends to keep up with our day to day happenings!

So, with that said I don't even know where to start. The last 5 months or so have been VERY eventful! I'll give you a quick run down of the "main events".

May 11, 2012 - I graduated with a Marketing degree from Clemson! Praise the Lord. I love Clemson and had a wonderful 4 years of being a student, but I was definitely ready to graduate! (Gray graduated in December 2011 from Clemson with a degree in Sociology)

July 7, 2012 - I GOT MARRIED to the most handsome man on the planet. He is also known as Gray. We were engaged for about 10 months... the slowest 10 months of my life. Now that we are finally married, we are living in a tiny one bedroom apartment in Clemson.

August 2012 - We began working for the local church we were members of while in college, Crosspoint Church. Crosspoint has a discipleship program that is called Generation LINK. I will talk more about Generation LINK later, but to sum it up as much as possible, we are working at the church, taking seminary classes, living in biblical community, and being discipled by one of our pastors and his wife.

We are truly blessed. This season of life has been very fast paced and a lot different than anything either one of us was used to, but it has been beautiful. The Lord has proven himself faithful over and over and we are trusting in him more than ever.

That is just a tiny bit about the "main events" of life lately, but I am excited about being able to ramble more about them in later posts!

love,
