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...

GOD IS GOOD!

Just a real quick update to let you know that Luke does have a job!!!!! God is good! As that is great news, it is also bitter sweet since 2 other guys got laid off. Please keep these two guys, especially John in your prayers as we praise Him for answering our prayers, but pray for those who now need jobs. Thanks to all of you for your concerns and prayers! God blesses us with a great Christian family! Love to all! Until next time...

Needing prayers

Good afternoon loyal blog readers or stockers!!! I come with a BIG prayer request for Luke and I. As I have mentioned before, Luke's work is going through a reorganization time. Which in other words mean laying off employees. The time has come down to Luke's level of employees. All the managers and big wigs have already been moved. So today and this weekend we ask if you could please keep us in your prayers. Luke will find out Monday if he still has a job. If he does get canned, then his last day will be on Friday the 28th. Right now, Luke really has no idea where he stands. I know God is good and no matter what, he will provide and take care of us, but at the same time, I've been in a zone lately and I'm trying really hard to have a peace of mind about it all. So if you talk to me this weekend and I'm spaced out, just hit me and get my attention! Love to you all and hope you have a great Easter weekend!! Until next time...

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted....sorry! Our life isn't as exciting as all of our friends who have kids or expecting, so it's hard to write something interesting happening in our lives daily!! Well, I don't have pics on this computer, but I will edit later and put in some pics of my nephew Finn's 2nd birthday party we had last weekend. For his gift, we took him to see Sesame Street Live with Elmo!!! We didn't know for sure how he would react to "big creatures", but he LOVED them!! And on a side note, I really enjoyed myself as well!! We will have to keep that in mind when we have kids! It was a fun environment! His Cookie Monster birthday party was fun as well. But word to the wise...always watch your kids when you tell them to blow out the candle. Finn thought blowing meant eating! He had his whole mouth around the flame about to bite down when we all yelled and Amber grabbed him and pulled him back! Close call!
Well other than that, not much more has been going on besides work. Speaking of work...please keep Luke in your prayers. Sprint (who he works for) seems like they are in a rocky spot. The rumors we have heard aren't the best and he's stressed and nervous about it all, so please keep him in your prayers. I hope you all have a great week filled with God's blessings! Until next time...
