2008 was great year...here are the people that have made it that way:
Michael-my best friend in the world, you get me, you make me happy, and you love me unconditionally. Being married to you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never thought I could be as happy as I am, and it is all thanks to you!
Mom-after Michael you are my best friend. It is so wonderful the relationship that we have. We think alike, sound alike and shop alike. You gave me the most beautiful wedding that I could ever imagine! I miss you every day, but you did give me everything I need to go out and conquer the world...at least my part of it.
Dad-I can't believe I actually got you to dance with me at my wedding! That meant so much to me. I love you so much dad!
Luke-I never knew I could love one little person the way I love you! You are such a sweet baby, it delights me so much when your face lights up when you see me!
Nick & Christy- I miss you guys so much. Nick you chose the best sister I could ever ask for. I just wonder what she sees in you (HAHA). Christy, I love you and as far as I am concerned you are my sister!
Debbie & Joe- I love you more and more each day. Thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams. You are the best inlaws anyone could ask for.
Megan Birke-I don't know how I would have made it through all of my wedding emotions etc, without you. You are such a beautiful person and so are you Leigh Ann.
Tawana- You are just one of the most beautiful people alive! I love you aunt Tawana!
Maria Tibbs- You made all of my wedding dreams a reality, thank you for all of your hard work!
CIC- I never realized how much I enjoy coming to church with all of you until I moved 3hrs away. I miss everyone there.
There is a quote that we used to end our CIC new years service with and that is what I will say this year...Next year, in heaven.
I pray that everyone had as wonderful a year in 2008 as I did. My life has been so blessed with love laughter and people to share important moments with. I also pray that 2009 will be a good year for everyone that I know. May God bless you and your family in the new year.
Crazy Caruso's do Chicago!

Work Christmas Party & Extra Special date night
Wednesday morning was our work Christmas party. We had a fancy lunch with salmon, shrimp, and a bunch of other things that I don't like. We each had a secret santa gift. My secret santa got me a $10 starbucks giftcard! Just what I had been wanting (I guess that is why I put it on my list and underlined it 2x). I was also nominated for employee of the month! I didn't win, but still it is nice to know I am doing well. Then the hotel gave us our Christmas gift a $15 Walmart giftcard,
They also gave everyone a number when they came in. They drew numbers and when your number was called you got to go up to the table and pick a gift. There were some really nice gifts, like there were several 1 night stay gift certificates at various places in Indiana. I wasn't drawn early enough to get one of those, but I did get something that made last night extra special! There is a restaraunt, La Scala, that Michael had been wanting to try since we first started dating. However, this restaraunt is about $20 per person, which is a little high for us. I got a $20 gift certificate for La Scala. Which brings us to last night...
Yesterday was kind of a hard day for me. My mom was hosting the Smith family dinner last night, and I was unable to attend. I don't get to see that side of the family very often and I really missed getting to see all of them. But Michael was so adorable in trying to cheer me up. He put on a santa hat, and we danced, and sang Christmas songs, maybe that will be our new tradition!
Then, I got all dressed up, and so did Michael. We went out to La Scala and Michael had a dinner with veal and other stuff. He really loved it. I on the other hand...didn't see anything that I wanted. Well, other than dessert. We had a fantastic time at dinner and we opted for tiramisu for dessert, which happens to be my favorite of all time. Michael also was such a gentleman last night. When we first started dating he always opened doors and offered me a hand when getting out of the car. Since we have been married that hasn't been happening as much. It was really great to have a date night out and to feel so special!
Now, if you are wondering what I ate for dinner other than Tiramisu, I didn't eat dinner at La Scala. After Michael ate, and I had dessert, Michael took ME out for a special treat. I have been dying to have some Papa Johns cheestix. That is exactly what I had for dinner last night. We are an unconventional pair, but we sure do have fun!
Michael and I get to come home on Wednesday and I am off until that following Tuesday! We will spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my parents and Hammond family, and then we will celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the Carusos on the 26th and 27th. I have pre-planned lunch with Megan Birke, and I cannot wait to see her baby bump! We are going to church at CIC YAY!!!!!!! I can't wait!
