Quick post comin to you live from Vail, CO!! Look for Luke and I today while your husbands are watching the Broncos crush the Chargers!!!! We will be in the endzone behind the field goal on the front row!!!!! Happy Birthday Luke!!! Go Broncos!

On the Road

This post brought to you Live from Hays, KS! That's right folks, we are on the move for the next week! Our first and only vacation of the year is finally here!! Well, I know I have kept some of you in suspense with the last post. :) The great news is that Luke got a new job!! He will be an engineer for Cox Communications now. He will put his official 2 weeks notice in next Monday when we get back. We are so excited and many prayers have been answered. Thanks to all of you out there for your prayers in the past for Luke's job situation.

Well, we FINALLY got our new car on Thursday night and we absolutly LOVE it!!!! My advice for anyone looking for a new car...look at the Mazda 6. And if you do go by, mention our name!! (had to put in that cheap plug for us!) Here is a picture of the 6...

One of the many awesome things about this car is that we can make it from Edmond to Colorado on one tank of gas!!! How awesome is that!!!

Well, that's all I have for right now, but stay tuned this week to some updates from our trip! Until next time...

3 Month Update

Well, here we are again folks. Another 3 month delay! Same song, third verse...work is crazy busy for me right now. I have enough time at night to stalk all of you, but don't have time to blog for myself! :) I have a few minutes before I have to leave for a baby shower so I will update you on what has happened in the wonderful Carnagey world!! All of the new stuff has actually happened in the last 2 weeks. First...we got a new pet that we named after Elizabeth because she was so excited and wanted one too, right Elizabeth?!! Here is a picture of her!

This is not the exact picutre as you can see b/c I can not get the picture off of my phone, but this picture looks alot like her! We found her on our front porch this past week just waiting to get inside! Her stay wasn't long since tarantulas are really not my favorite creatures, so after a little jumping and screaming like girls from my husband and myself, he put it underneath the shed of an abandoned house across the street from the Mullins! Just ask Elizabeth how she is sleeping now after seeing our new pet!! :)

Another new thing we got was a new car! We traded in our Jeep Liberty for a new Mazda 6 which gets twice the gas mileage now! You may ask, why haven't I seen it yet? Well, we are asking the very same question! We bought it over a week ago and still are waiting for the car to come in that we ordered. We called everyday last week and when we asked when it would be here, the answer would be, "Tomorrow." and "tomorrow" came and "tomorrow" went. Supposedly it will be Monday (tomorrow) when we will finally get it. I knew my mom was right when she said never trust a car salesman!! Learned my lesson now!

We have one more new thing going on, but you will have to check back later in the week to find out since it is not final right now!! (I love keeping people in suspense!)

Luke and I will be taking our only vacation this year on Friday!!! It is a surprise 30th Birthday trip for Luke that I have had planned for the last 4 months. I can not give you the details right now since I don't know if any eyes will be looking at this or not, but when we get back, I will post lots of pictures!

Well, it is time for me to go! I hope you all have a great week and I will see most of you on Thursday night for Girls Night!!!! Whoop Whoop!!!! Until next time...

May/June Update! I know, I know...sorry!

Good honk! "Amy, you are a horrible blogger!" There, I said it for you!!! If you want to discuss this issue more, you can leave me a comment!! For some reason it is hard for me to sit down and focus to update. So...I guess monthly updates are what I'm best at right now! So for the month of May....

Luke and I had our 4th year Anniversary!

My parents also had their 35th Anniversary so we took them to the Melting Pot for a surprise celebration!!

In June, I got to be a counselor at the camp that I grew up at. I have been gone for 3 years, so it was good to be back! I had the high school girls in my cabin and had the awesome experience of studying with 2 of them who became Christians!! It was a great spiritual refresher as well for me! Here is a pic of my girls!!!

Wow...now wasn't that a short 2 month update! As you can see, we live a pretty boring life around here right now! Work is insanely busy for me right now since this is our second week to be paperless. Talk about stress! Whose idea was it to go green again?!

Well, that is all for now... I will be on the edge of my seat to see if anything exciting happens worth blogging about this month and if not...well probably see you next month!! (or I may just surprise you!!) Until next time...

Moms and prayers

Look at me!!! 2nd time in a month!! Watch out! Well, we had a good mother's day this year. We went to Yukon for the weekend to spend it with my mom and family. It was nice having my entire family at church!! Doesn't happen often even though we all live 30 min. away from each other!! Since I'm the only non-mom, I guess they decided that I had to plan things to do. Uh....no! So I put it right back on them and made them choose where we were going to eat. All in all it was a good day! I hope all you out there had a great Mother's Day since I think everyone out there is now a mom or mom-to-be!
Now on to some recent stuff this week and side note prayer request. This past Friday, Luke started to notice that the tip of his tongue started to go numb. Not a big deal to mention anything to me. Well, as the day went on, he realized that the lower right part of his lip started to go numb as well, which he then mentioned to me. The next day, the right bottom jaw was numb he noticed when he was brushing his teeth. So on Sunday I mentioned it to one of my friends who is a dentist in Yukon about it and he said it might be a wisdom tooth hitting a nerve, but he needs to go have it checked out. So Monday morning he goes to our dentist and talks to him about it, but refers him to see an oral surgeon, but they can't get him in until next Monday. We thought that would probably be fine, until during the morning on Monday, he noticed that now half of his tongue started going numb. Oh boy! So I got on the phone, made some phone calls...get R done! He ended up going to see another oral surgeon yesterday morning. They ran x-rays and did other things that tooth dr.'s do and couldn't find a cause for the numbness...everything looked fine mouth wise. So, they sent him to our PCP who did 5 different blood tests on him, other "brain tests", and are sending him to go have a MRI/CT Scan done. Our PCP doesn't think it is anything really huge, but at the same time doesn't want to rule anything out without tests being done. So...now comes your part with us!! Please pray for Luke and ask God that we can find a cause for this and that there is a cure, hopefully minimal!! Thank you in advance and I will keep you posted on what we find out! Love to all, until next time...

Slacker

To my loyal readers, I apologize for the long silence. (Like you haven't heard that apology before!) So lets catch up! We have continued to do some remodeling at our house. We just got done with our office/future nursery. We had a door that went from the house into the garage through one of our bedrooms. Weird I know, but the people before us thought that was a great feature. Yeah I guess....especially for your kids who are so eager to "go to bed" early to see what trouble they could get into! So we walled up the door, painted a new color, and moved our office desk and computer out into the living room area which we love now! My husband is quite the handyman! Can't even tell there was a door there!! See photos below...

Now you see it...

Now you don't!!

Life at work has been a little crazy. We are shorthanded at the moment, so it makes it a little busier, which I like, but makes me exhausted by the end of the day. We are also trying to go paperless at our office. I thought it was so awesome at first, but now getting farther into it, going green is not as easy as you think! At least we'll make those tree huggers happy!

Some other great news is that our car has become officially ours as of tonight @ 7:25 p.m.! We paid the rest of our loan off!! It's nice when you can turn a 6 year loan into a 2 year loan!! God is good! And if my calculations are correct, we will pay off our jeep by the end of this year and be debt free!!! Well, except for the lifetime mortgage loan! I think they should go ahead and just call it a lifetime loan!! Makes more since!

Well, I think that is about it for now! Now it's back to stalking all of you!!! Until next time...

Catching up

Well, I've been stalling on posting until I can put up pics with my post, but I still have no pics so I decided to go ahead and write before it turns into another 2 months. Last weekend we took my brother, sis in-law, and my niece bowling (pics I'm waiting on). We had a lot of fun and it was the most important day in bowling history!! That's right folks...Amy Carnagey FINALLY scored over 100 points WITHOUT bumpers!!! It's ok, I can give you my autograph and some pointers later when you see me! :)
This week has been good as well. We got brand new windows all throughout our house with a new sliding back door. Thanks to Champion windows, the Mullins for the referral, and Uncle Sam/Mr. President for the money!!! I would highly recommend these windows to everyone! Even though our house is torn up and blinds scattered in all different rooms, it is well worth it. I think we might go ahead and paint our other two bedrooms now since everything is already moved away from the walls! So more remodeling in the Carnagey house! Woohooo! OH...quick funny story about installing the windows...my 2 yr. old nephew and sister were here with me when they were installing the windows and Finn looked out the window and saw one of the men smoking. He came running into the room and said, "Mommy, Aunt Amy, that man is having a birthday and he is eating it too!" Thinking he was eating a birthday candle, we both busted out laughing! I love little kids' perception on life!
Today we went and did the Mike McDonald Fun Run this morning. Due to my crippledness, Luke and I just did a fast pace 3 mile walk. And good honk it was freezing out there with that wind. I wore shorts thinking that by the time we got started I would warm up. God had a different plan of freezing me and numbing my legs to the point that I couldn't feel them anymore so it seemed bearable. It was good to see Kathy and all of the McDonald kids again!
Well, I think that is all for right now. Hope you all are having a great weekend and will see most of you tomorrow!! Until next time...
