It is official...my nephew knows me!
The other day Luke was looking at the picture of Michael and me on my mom's fireplace, and saying RAH-RAH!
Mom and Christy had an end of radiation party for Grandma Hammond. Luke stood by the stairs looking up at my old room and kept saying An Rah-rah. He had said if to me on the phone a very few times, but it is great to feel loved, by him!
Luke is obsessed with balls. It is his favorite word. The other night Nick & Christy were at Target and so were mom and dad. Mom and Dad took Luke through the ball aisle. He loved it! When they left Luke noticed the balls outside of target (you know, the red concrete ones) He screamed "BAH!!"
We bought a ball for Luke for easter, I cannot wait to give it to him!
As many of you have read, I loooove cats. I miss Smokey, and we cannot have a cat in our apartment. However, about 3-4 weeks ago Michael and I found some horses at Purdue. They are just hanging out in a field behind the vet school. We have taken to walking around campus and bringing both horses a carrot every time we go down there. It is so nice to get some animal attention, and to walk. I will probably end up missing the horses when we leave in 2010.
Michael and I are coming home tomorrow for Easter weekend. I am hoping to meet Lincoln on Saturday, and do a little bit of shopping with my mom. Michael and I are saving our easter baskets until we get back home. It should make leaving home a little easier knowing that I have fun stuff waiting at home!
Crazy Caruso's do Chicago!

Saturday Mom, Christy, Luke and I went on an all day shopping excursion! We had so much fun!Monday, March 23, 2009
Cameos
I love Cameos. Necklaces, earrings, lapel pins, bracelets, basically anything with a cameo on it. But I am increasingly surprised that no one my own age seems to know what a cameo is. So, I thought I would educate anyone my own age who reads this and isn't aware of what a cameo is. 
I guess I love them because 1. They are vintage looking, 2. They are somewhat hard to find, and finding a new one is quite a feat.
Which brings me to this weekend. I called Grandma to see if she was home from her radiation treatment yet, and when I got to her house she showed me the pink cameo candle holders that she had gotten for me!
Friday I went to Target with Michael's mom. She bought me the cutest t-shirt complete with you guessed it...cameo!
Saturday I went shopping with Mom, Christy, and Luke. While I was in one of the stores I found a black belt with a cameo on the buckle!

Purdue v IU , shopping, birthday gift?
Today in Ross Ade Stadium there is this little football game going on. This game is against Purdue's biggest rival, Indiana. Last night a friend of mine called and told me he had a ticket that was free for my use. Even though it is currently 21 degrees in West Lafayette today, I will be braving the weather, because this is the type of game you just don't pass up! Last I heard tickets were selling for somewhere around $400, yikes! This game also marks coach Tiller's last game. Michael, who doesn't like football very much will not be going as it is too cold and he has lots of homework to complete and there was only one ticket offered. Both Indiana and Purdue are quite...hmmm how to put this nicely...terrible this year, so it really could go either way. Boiler Up!
Other excitement, yesterday I went shopping and found an amazing clearance rack at JCPenney. I bought shoes, capri pants, and shirts, all for 1.58. That is my favorite kind of shopping. Also, I got a birthday present in the mail from my good friend Julie. It is so typical Julie to be late, but it makes her all the more loveable!
I will be in town next Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. I can't wait to see Luke (he will be 1 on Friday), go shopping with my mom at 4 am, and see my grandparents who have been quite ill here lately!

Weekend with Luke & family and a political rant
This weekend Michael and I made a visit to Charlestown. We had a great time visiting (and shopping) with our parents. I'll let you guess who went shopping and who didn't :-).
The most wonderful part of the weekend was getting to spend soo much time with Luke! I miss my mom dad, nick and christy like crazy too, but not seeing luke for a month has been tough! I cannot believe how much he has grown! I saw him friday, and then he spent the night at my mom's house on Saturday night, so I got to play with him all night and starting at 4 the next morning! I can't say that I minded being up that early too much though, it is rare that I have the oppurtunity to see Luke so I feel like I really "drank it up" this weekend!
I also got to spend some time with aunt Deb! I miss her so much, and that is a little strage because I didn't really see her all that often to begin with!
Church on sunday was great! I was sad that I didn't get to see Brian, Maria, and Brooklyn but Josh delivered a great sermon! My mom and I both let Megan Birke know that I was going to be in that sunday and would love to see her (my mom and I didn't know that we both had said something to her). Megan and Chris did come to CIC, and it was so great to see her pregnant and adorable self! I have really been missing her! Even seeing her for the 10 minutes that I did was uplifting!
Now...on to another topic completely. This election makes me nervous. It has never been so important that we get someone in the oval office that really knows what is going on. I have been trying and failing thus far to get a job. We are praying dilligently and so are both of our parents. I don't think that my lack of job has much to do me, but more with the fact that the economy is in a really bad way right now. But I would also like to point out that it CANNOT ALL BE GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!!!!! From the year of his innauguration on, he has had to make decisions that other presidents have not! 9/11/01!!
I also am having a very hard time with Barack Obama. Some of you might remember that I got to meet Obama. Well take it from someone who met the guy, I don't think that he is honest. I feel like he made SEVERAL promises that he had given little to no thought about. I don't like to be patronized, and that is how I feel every time he speaks. He has a better than you attitude that I do not appreciate.
However John McCain and Sarah Palin do not make me feel that way. Governor Palin is definitely the most down to earth politician that I have ever encountered. I also really don't think that now is the time to throw a young LIBERAL into office. Yeah, that is just what our country needs during a crisis, to elect a president who seemingly doesn't have strong moral standards! If people think the country is in trouble with a person of morals in charge, I can only imagine the country with Senator Obama in charge.

Things I like about my new home, Things I miss about the old one!
Things I like about West Lafayette:
Michael and I have unlimited "us" time
Everything is nearby
College campuses have good deals on pizza
There are tons of places for us to ride bikes
I can buy Purdue hoodies at goodwill!!!!
Purdue football starts next weekend
There is always something to do!
The weather!
Things I miss about home
Mom and Dad
Smokey
Nick Christy and Luke
FAMILY!
Seeing people I know
closet space
Having a dishwasher
Good pizza
Everyone says it is hard and there is a looong transitional period when you get married. I have never heard a statement more true. Michael has his time frame and I have my own. We do things incredibly differently. I use margerine, he uses butter! Haha. It is really neat though to see us blending our lives together. I am starting to see both of us changing to make living together more compatible. We are even that annoying couple that finishes each other's sentences.
This week has been eventful for us. We made steak, macoroni salad, and green beans for our friend Forrest on Sunday. Michael started school on Monday, so he has been busy trying to get back into the swing of things. We are going home this weekend to visit all of the people and animals that I have missed. My birthday is next Thursday, so we are going to the Charlestown Pizza Company on Saturday night for dinner!
I got bored so I played with the text colors...
