Happy Birthday to my hubby!

Well, since last time I wrote, a lot has happened, including my husband turning 1 year closer to 30! Work has been going great! We actually recently hired 2 new people! See Melody, it takes two to fill your position!! hehe One girl has already started and one more will start the first of November.
We have also been visiting my parents and catching up with them this past weekend. They just got back from visiting my family in Guatemala for the past 2 weeks. Yes, that's right, I am hispanic even though I look albino!! My grandma was born and raised in Guatemala. Everybody except her have the "dark genes" all nice and tan, and then there is my family!! We actually surprised them on Friday night for a visit and my sister's little boy Finn was there spending the night with them. He has grown a lot and talking up a storm. Here is a video clip to share for those of you who know my sister!!

Like I mentioned before, it was also Luke's birthday last weekend and since I was not in town last weekend along with my parents, we celebrated his birthday last night with my family. I wanted to make him a birthday cake, so Katie Rowten and I got together on Thursday night and made him a birthday cake. It only took us 5 hours to do it!! haha Go Broncos! We went out to Hideaway Pizza and then back to our place for cake and ice cream!!

Today was just a nice day of relaxing when we could and also, well, first before I say this I will tell you, no I am not pregnant. haha But today we did go over to my brothers house and get a baby crib that was my niece's. They have recently moved back from Phoenix and are trying to get rid of all their extra furniture and everything else. I'll put in a quick word for them...they are going to have a huge estate sale next weekend on Saturday and Sunday at their house they are renting right now. If you want their address, just let me know!!! You won't want to miss it!

Well, I've kept you reading long enough....again I apologize for not writing in forever. I know I've taken advantage of all of you cause I check your blogs all the time, but don't write in mine while I'm doing it! So again, my deepest apologies are to you!!! Hope you all have a great stress free week! Until next time...

Busy month is almost over!

Oh shoot....I just typed my post and accidently hit the back button, so now I have to redo this...Well, this crazy busy month is almost over! We have yet to spend one weekend at home this past month, so I'm a little ready for another month to come along. Last week we got to go down to Quartz Mountain Resort for a couple's retreat with my church from back home. What a blessing it was for our marriage! Our marriage will never be the same (for the good!). One fun thing was all the wives got their husbands a gift without them knowing and we put them all together, and the husbands had to go pick out which present he thought was his. Of course Luke picked his present out really quick since they put it up on a hanger above all the gifts. (I got him a nice Denver Broncos polo).
This weekend we are busy with Day in the City today and also my best friend/roommate through college is in town with her husband staying with us. Day in the City went well for us; we went to the Oklahoma City Rescue Mission to help out with their "pantry". I put that in quotes because when we got there, it was actually a warehouse that everything was in bulk and we had to rearrange it all and take inventory. So I definitely got my workout for the weekend and will be quite sore all over! The neat thing is that some of the homeless that live there helped us out.
Work has been crazy lately due to one of the girls being sick and then Melody could only work part time due to her pregnancy. And I just got word that she just got put on permanent bed rest until the baby comes because she is already having contractions regularly and starting to dilate. She is not due until the middle of December so please keep her and her baby girl in your prayers. Also please pray that we can find someone to replace her at work because our work is hectic with only 2 of us there. Well, this is getting long, so I will stop here. Hope you all are having a great weekend! Until next time...

Another busy weekend in the Carnagey household!! Friday night I went to a DC4K meeting after work, which I am totally pumped for!! (Luke didn't go since he's sick) Yesterday, I was determined to get Luke out of bed and get him up and around to help him feel better, so we went to eat breakfast/lunch at Jimmy's Egg. The whole time we were there he said that the room was spinning. So we made a quick trip to Wal-Mart for a couple of things and came back home where he took a 2 hour nap. That hour up wore him out. So, I don't think my goal was achieved! Needless to say, I think he is going back to the dr. on Monday. Last night was my dad's birthday party in Yukon which was a lot of fun! And for today, we are going to try to make it to church, depending on how long Luke can last, and then I'm going to Yukon this evening to spend the night with my parents. Tomorrow, I am headed to Lewisville, TX for Tony Hall's funeral. Tony was an amazing Christian man. Growing up, I went to the camp that he was the director for and later was a counselor for him after high school. Through this life here on earth, we all have those that we look up to and know that we can follow in thier footsteps because they imitate Christ (1 Cor. 11:1). Tony was one of those people for me. He lived everyday like it was his last. He was ready for the day that he could spend eternity with his Savior. God bless Tony Hall! I ask that you all pray for his family that he leaves behind. His wife Jill, and 2 little girls who are 7 and 4.

I'm off to get ready. Hope you all have a great Sunday full of God's blessings as we worship Him. Until next time...

Where to start?!

Well, since the last time I posted a lot has happened. Yes we FINALLY made it to Seattle and had a great time with Luke's sister and her family. You can check out our trip in my pictures. We got to play with their Wii (so awesome!), go to the Seattle Aquarium, the beach, the Pike Place Market, be there for the kids first day of school...(Bella's very first day of kindergarten!), and I also got to meet Luke's mom for the first time. It was very eventful and TONS of fun! It was hard to leave. Of course there was excitement on our plane ride home as well when we were half way to Salt Lake City, the flight attendant came over the speaker and asked if there was a Dr. on board to make their presence known....no response. Then if there was any medical personnel or nurse...no response. So we thought there was someone in first class that was going to die with no help. Luckily that person was fine and we had a relaxing rest of the flight.
This past weekend, Luke and I parted separate ways to join each of our families. I went to Yukon for my mom's side family reunion and to work on scrapbook stuff with my sister. Luke went to Tulsa, where his family from Colorado was visiting and they went to Grand Lake for a day. When we got back on Sunday, we went straight to BK group and had a good time with our friends.
After this was all said and done, Luke started to feel sick yesterday morning, and woke up this morning talking about 2 octaves lower than normal! He went to the Dr. and found out he has a sinus infection, and a bronchial infection that could be strep. So we are taking it easy and I'm trying not to breath much around him!!
This is getting pretty long, so I will close here if you are still reading!!! I probably won't get a chance to write til next week due to another busy weekend! Have a great weekend! Until next time...

Tears and Laughter

Well, I am writing this post in the Dallas/FW airport. it is 5:00 p.m. right now and waiting for our flight at 8:50. Seriously. We are trying to make it to Seattle to go see Luke's sister and her family, but for some reason everything is going against us. We had an hour delay in OKC which they said would make us miss our connecting flight to Seattle, so they took our boarding passes and switched them to another airline which would only put us an hour behind. When we got here, we realized we could have made our original connecting flight, but went to the new gate where they started to board when we arrived. In the middle of boarding, the captain came out and said there was a problem with the plane so we would have to stop boarding and everyone would have to get off the plane. Well, after almost an hour wait, they came back and said our flight was cancelled due to a bird hitting the plane in the previous flight which broke some part of the plane which they could not fix at this time. So all 60 passengers ran off to the ticket counter. When we got to the front of the line, they told us all direct flights for today were full, but we could either go through Oakland or if we ran, we could make a connecting flight to Portland that left in about 10 min. in a different terminal. So, with all of our bags in hand (we did not check any bags in) we took off running. By the time we got to the train stop, there was a sign that said the next train for that terminal would be 8 min. So, with our heads hung low, our backs hurting, we went back to the ticket counter and explained the situation. By this time, I'm in tears. The lady was sooo... sweet and got us first class tickets for a flight going out tonight with food vouchers. To make the day even better, as we went back through security, they looked at our boarding passes and said, "Congratulations, you have been selected to have additional screening, please step to the side." At this point I just started laughing. So, now we are at our gate with a 4 hour delay! The neat thing is that we made some friends with a family who was kind of in the same situation. Well, this is getting really long so I will stop here. I will update later in our trip if I have time. Have a good and safe Labor Day, until next time....

Tea for Three!

This weekend was nice and relaxing. My boss has been out of town, so I got to have all day Friday off!!! It was girls day!! My two close friends from back home Grace and Angie hit the town!! We first went for lunch at Inspirations Tea Room. I was a little curious about this whole tea room to begin with, little too "fru fru" (sp?) for me, but when we got there, we were greeted by a lady whose hair literally stood a foot above her head. Now I know those of you who have been there know EXACTLY who I am talking about. Anyways...when they brought our food out to us I was amazed by the enormous size of sandwiches they had (picture on right...yes, that thing beside the canteloupe!) I for sure didn't think that Angie would finish her sandwich due to the size. But she pulled through!! Needless to say, it was an experience I won't forget!! We did have a good time, and afterwards, we went "shopping". I put that in quotes because everywhere we went, they would find something, carry it around the whole time, and as soon as we were leaving, they both would put what they got back on the shelf! So we saved a lot of money!!!

Today was also nice and relaxing since my boss won't be in til tomorrow, so we didn't see any patients today. Made for a good quiet Monday!! The most scariest thing happened on my way home from work though. I was at a stop light and a boy on a bicycle was going across the intersection right in front of me and the car to my left did not see him coming and when her turn signal light turned green, she took off and hit the boy on the bike. I screamed and so did the girl in the car to the right b/c we both saw what was happening and couldn't stop it. Luckily, the boy was ok, just shookin up, and went on his way. So, moral of the story....ALWAYS look both ways before you cross the street in the car! Well, gotta go finish supper! Hope you all have a great week and remember Brinley, you have to come before Friday!!! Until next time...
