FREEDOM!!!!!

That's right folks! The Carnagey's are going on 2 weeks of full health!! (knock on wood) This past week was our first Sunday in over a month to go to bible class and church! I felt like we needed to go forward and place membership again! It has been waaaaay too long. But it was awesome to see everyone again and not feel like you had to wear a mask and yell "Unclean!" as we were walking down the hall! This post may get a little long, so I apologize in advance, but we had a great weekend full of surprises and remodeling, so if you like picture books, there will be pictures to go along!!!

First off, before you get too bored, I have to share crazy story about my sister's 30th surprise party I threw this past weekend for her. To make a long story short (sorta)...I had talked to my bro-in-law about setting up a surprise party at Johnny Carino's (one of the only restaraunts that has a side room these days) and the choices were in Yukon for lunch or Edmond for dinner. Lunch it is!!! So, master plan everyone there at 11:45, birthday girl there at noon. So everyone shows up, noon rolls around, no sister. 12:05.....12:10...12:15...no sister. Call Ben....no answer. Sister's friend calls Ben, he does answer and she hands me the phone. Conversation: Me: "What's going on?" Ben: "I'm in Edmond, where are you?" Me: "And I'm in Yukon, oh boy!" So he's mad now, my stomach is in a knot, and the plan is busted....so we think. But thanks to my wonderful sister, when Ben got back to their table from "using the restroom and making a call" she asks, "Was that a page from work?" And he replys. "Yes....yes it was....and we have to go." (what a genius!!) Ben works in the medical field by the way and is the manager over nurses at Deaconess Hospital. So they leave and he makes this nice big story up about something that happened and now he needs to take care of it. But by the time they reach Yukon, like any other great man, he decides that they can go ahead and eat at Johnny Carino's in Yukon and then take care of business!! :) The thing is that all of us think have no clue and think the plan is busted until she walks in and is in complete shock when we yell "Surprise"!!! So moral of story....always confirm the plan that day! Here is a picture of the cake that Katie Rowten helped me make for the party....like stated before from many others....she's a genius at cake making!!!

Now on to remodeling pictures...This past weekend, Luke and I bought a new bedspread, repainted our room, and refinished the wood work which made a HUGE difference in looks. My wonderful husband spent all day Friday (his day off) and started priming the walls and refinishing the wood. Then we spent all Saturday evening and Sunday painting. Here are a couple of before and after shots. Tell me what you think!!
