Hmmm, a bio... what to say, what to say... My name is Sarah Elizabeth Shook; recently married to Mr. Brandon Dean Shook.  Brandon and I being together is in the Lord's gracious will.  Despite our blemishes and hick-ups in life, God chose to reach into our lives and lead us to each other.  I am 20 years old and my desired profession is to be stay-at-home wife and mother; helping my husband by running the house and also with my little shop on Etsy called LostInIvorySeas, click here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/lostinivoryseas.  I am very much still in diapers as a shop owner, but I will get better slowly. 

I work currently at a local veterinary clinic, so I am an animal lover.  I prefer the outdoors such as: bike rides, camping, walking, tree climbing, swimming, and exploring!  I prefer explore the outdoors than explore a television or computer, however I do love an occasional good clean movie(BBCs, Hot Led and Cold Feet, Megamind, It's a Wonderful Life, etc) Ever since I was a child I had a hard time focusing and enjoying a book.  You could say I,m not a book worm. I do love learning, but I have a hard time getting into a book.  The only one I really like diving into would be the Word of God.  I feel like if I'm going to invest the time to read I need to read something that is living and active and something that wont return void.  The other books that interest me are geographical books, cultural books, history books, etc etc. I don't much like fictional books.

It excites me going through our (Brandon and I) journey of marriage.  

We are only 5 months in so we are still newlyweds :) Of course it seems like we have been together forever.  The Lord has taught us so much already.  Brandon is a wonderful creation.  He is kind of a gentle ox. He wont show his strength, but oh my goodness he surprises me sometimes.  I don't think I have ever met someone so humble and faithful.  Fun fact: we have practically the same hair.  Both long, dirty blond, and curly.  Many people say we look like brother and sister.  I don't really see it, but oh well.  Brandon has a wonderful sense of humor.  He will practically do anything to make me laugh... I mean ANYTHING!

This section is devoted to our son... Peri.

Oh the story of Peri... Peri was dumped at the clinic I work at when he was just a couple months old.  He walked up dragging his back legs.  We found a scab on his left shoulder and you can feel a pellet under his skin on the right shoulder area, so we suspect that he was shot and it resulted in paralysis from his shoulder blades down.  We couldn't find anyone to take on this little guy that we found, and if no one took him we would have to put him down.  So........ I took him. He is not able to go potty on his own, so I have to help him. He uses the potty just like us :) He acts like he doesn't depend on me, truly he would not be here if it weren't for me.  I just see it like how so many youngsters are with their parents.  He thinks he can rule the world, but really he can't even go potty with out my help.  Silly silly Peri. He has such a cute personality.  He acts like he doesn't care about what we are doing, but you will always find him in the same room as you.  He loves Brandon so much.  I get jealous sometimes. Oh and by the way I got the name Peri from Paraplegic. Some find that funny some find it sick.  Take your pick.

My maiden name is Blake, I love my Blake family.  My sister, Kristen, is married also.  Now my dad keeps bugging us with wanting grand-kids.  "In due time, dad, in due time".  My sister and I are so much alike.  People say that we don't look alike, but they can tell that we are sisters because of how we act.  Movie quotes make up 75% of our sentences.  Jumping around acting like mohicans. Accents are our favorite.  My mom is wonderful, such a wise woman she is.  My dad is the most kid-like out of all of us.  Always making a joke, or comeback. Goofy goofy goofy.

I am a big fan of diy's and hand making things, so you might see how to make things or recipes on my corner of this blog.  I love to laugh, so you might hear some stories of the day to day funny's of Brandon and me.  I so very much desire to be a God fearing woman as described in Proverbs 31.  I want to have "willing hands" to be of service to my family and anyone that the Lord sends my way. I hope you enjoy my little spot in this blog.
