On lock down...

What a week!! Last week I was out all week from work dealing with a 102 fever for 5 days, having an allergic reaction to my antibiotics, and my body deciding for a day that it would not hold any food in. I've been feeling a lot better, but still have congestion in my chest and head. And now, this past weekend Luke started to get a fever and congestion and went to the dr. yesterday and was diagnosed with the flu. Oh boy! Round two, ding ding ding. So the dr. has him and me both on flu medication (along with the medication I am already taking) since he is contagious. He now has to stay home for the 2nd week in a row. He was such a sweet husband and stayed home with me 3 of the 5 days last week since I was pretty much useless! So please say a prayer for both of us that we can get back to feeling 100% healthy and normal since we are going on 3 weeks now of continual sickness from one bug or another. Since Luke is on "lockdown", we are going to have a nice, noncontact, relaxing night tonight!! It's hard on V-day to not be able to kiss the one you love, having to wash your hands every time you touch him, and have to sleep for the third night in a row on the couch!!! So, I hope you all have a V-day full of hugs and kisses with your spouse!!!! Until next time...

Spoke too soon!

Well, the bugs are attracted to me. I woke up on Saturday to a sore throat, cough, and fever. Happy Birthday to me! So my birthday was spent laying down as much as possible, heading to Yukon to have lunch with my family, and then going over to their house afterwards to sleep. So our fun birthday bowling plans got put on hold. It is now day 3 of fever over 100, with a VERY sore throat, horrible cough, and now congestion. I went to the dr. today and he thought it was the flu, but the test came out negative. He is confused on what I do have since both sets of glands for viral and bacterial were really swollen. So now I am on antibiotics and have to stay home until I can kick this fever to go back to work. Lucky me! I miss everyone, since it seems like FOREVER since I have spent real quality time with my friends due to being out of town for two weeks and now sickness. Again, thanks Elizabeth for the yummy supper you made us on Friday...sorry we had to eat and run! Love to all. Until next time....

Getting back to normal!

Well, it looks like the Carnagey family is getting back to normal. I'm feeling great now and Luke is almost there!! Woohooo!!! Thank you all for your cards, thoughts, and prayers for my family this past week. We are so blessed to have such great friends!

What a day...

Well, today was my g-pa's funeral which was sad, but uplifting and it was nice to see all of my family. I am feeling better now (thank goodness), but Luke started to feel bad at the funeral and on our way home, he started throwing up in the car. Not cool! So, now it's my turn to take care of him!! So everyone beware of the Carnagey household! Hold your breath if you come anywhere near by! Hopefully this will only be a 24-48 hour thing like mine was. So please keep us in your prayers.

Remember me?

Well, since it has been over 2 months since I have updated, I don't know if anyone will remember me!!! I've had people get on to me for not updating in forever, so I finally have some time to do so....here we go!!! Last 2 months in short....

Thanksgiving we went to Idaho to see Luke's grandma. Since I am unable to take off work during the Christmas season, Thanksgiving is our time to get a way to see Luke's family. We had a great time stuffing ourselves and we actually got to Idaho and back on time,

which we thought was a HUGE shock if you know our traveling history!!! Here are a couple pictures of our trip.

Then we are skipping a whole month to Christmas. We had a wonderful holiday with my family. This was the year that both my niece and nephew enjoyed opening up gifts and enjoyed what they got, not just the box and tissue paper inside!!! For Christmas I got a new camera (Canon Rebel XTi) from my hubby and absolutely loving it!!!!

Besides the holidays, our life these past 2 months have been about the same during the week...work, eat, sleep! Fridays, we are doing DC4K which we love! Those kids brighten up our day everytime we get to spend time with them!

On a different note, please continue to keep my family in your prayers. I got a phone call late Thursday night that my grandpa (my dad's dad) passed away suddenly. Even though he was 94, he

was still in good health. It will be sad to never be able to get to go to Grandpa's Farm again. The hard thing for me right now is that I am here suppose to be with my family, but thanks to food poisoning, I am stuck here in the hotel room with my hubby as the rest of my family are together. I am actually feeling somewhat better than earlier today, but still go back and forth. I pray that I will be feeling good for Monday to go to the funeral.

Love you Grandpa/P-pa (great g-kids called him)

Hope you all are having a great start of the year, and hope to get better at this!!! Until next time...

Crime Scene Picture

Here's a look at the "branch" which I call a big tree that came back through the fork of our tree to knock my dad off. It's pretty impressive! This will be our task today to tackle the tree and cut it the rest of the way down, and then tomorrow off to Yukon to be with our lumber jack dad!!

Where do I begin?

I know I say life has been busy everytime I have posted it seems, but lately, life has been busy and HECTIC! The busy part was last week, but the hectic part was yesterday! This past weekend we went up to Fairland, OK (farmtown of 600) and celebrated my grandpa's 94th birthday. It was also a family reunion, so it was nice to see all of my cousins as well. My brother got a condo that his work owns out on Grand Lake so all of my family could stay there and had a wonderful time! The trees were turned every color which made an awesome background for pictures, so I ended up taking over 400 pictures! You can see some of them in the link to the right!
Then yesterday happened....
My dad had come by my work on Wed. to ask if he could come over to my house on Thur. and cut down the two trees that we have been meaning to do for a while. I agreed and told him I would check on him at lunch. Well, right before I left for lunch the girls said that he called and I need to call him back. He told me to not leave that he was almost there. When he pulled up he smiled and asked if I could follow him to the dr. office down the street to have his ankle x-rayed. WHAT?? He said he was on the last big branch on the first tree and when it fell, it sprung back up and hit him off balance where he fell 8-10 feet and landed on his ankle. Later he told me that when he sat up, his ankle was off to the side, but popped right back into place so he thought it was ok to hop on one foot and drive to my work. Crazy man. Well, when we got to the dr. office, he didn't realize that you couldn't just walk in to get an x-ray, so we had to go to the ER. So I made him scoot over and drove him to Edmond Hospital. While we were waiting to go back, he suddenly started to get hot and light headed. I went to ask a nurse for a wet wash cloth, and when I came back he told me, "I'm going down." I started to yell for a nurse to help, and by the time the nurse came out to the waiting room, he passed out. Luckily I had put him in a wheel chair to begin with. I wouldn't have been so scared until he started to make weird moans and noises and then started what seemed like to me, convulsing. I was yelling Daddy the entire time trying to get him to wake up. I knew in my mind he was having a stroke or something. Another nurse came out to help b/c we couldn't get his legs up in the wheel chair to take him back. He finally came to when we were wheeling him into the room. They said he was ok, it was just due to him being in shock. Also, it was miraculous that his ankle ended up not being broken. The dr. said he would have bet his whole pay check on it that it was broken, there was no way it couldn't be by the look of it! I should have took him up on that! They said it was a sprain and he probably tore most of the tendons/ligaments in his ankle. So he is now on crutches for a couple weeks. Here is a look at his ankle that I took a picture of last night!
Well, I hope your week is going a little bit better than mine!!! Next week, hopefully it will be stressfree and calm!!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Until next time...
