I made a goal to post more often as to keep those friends and family members interested in keeping up with our adventures informed since we now live in a different state than most of them. It's a much more difficult goal than you would think. I find myself having all these fantastic adventures with Michael and forgetting or procrastinating posting about them. Here is yet again another "playing catch up post."
Michael and I enjoyed an eventful last few months of 2011. We spent a few days in Texas (for the BYU vs TCU football game at Cowboys Stadium!!) with Michael's brother David and his wife Melissa and their children. Melissa and I were in heaven! (Go Cowboys!!) Michael and I have decided we like Arlington, TX as our future place of residence.

November saw a milestone in our lives...I made my first Thanksgiving Dinner!! I can't find the pictures, but I assure you that my turkey was absolutely perfect. I'll post pictures if I find them. :) Michael and I spent Thanksgiving with my Grandma and Aunt Jackie. It was a great day full of good food and even better company.
December was rough. We made it down to Vegas for Michael's birthday and Christmas; I even threw him an awesome BYU vs UNLV Rivalry birthday party. Sadly, Michael's dad was very ill (we were afraid he might pass away) so it was less than the usual Gardner Christmas this year. I'd never seen my husband really cry until this trip. It was heartbreaking to see him so sad and scared for his dad.
January - March of 2012 has found Michael and I separated and not enjoying it one bit. I have moved back to Vegas for my final semester of school and Michael has stayed in Provo to work and go to school as well. We're not enjoying this arrangement in the least, but at the end of May I will be finished with my Communication Degree so we're sucking it up and enduring to the end.
*February 24, 2012 marked the one year anniversary of my Grandpa's death. I still miss him every day.
