This news is long overdue... 11-27-08 10:42pm EST
My parents had been missing Peachy (a golden retriever we had for 14 years, that was 15 years old before they put her down for her really bad arthritis and just b/c her body was deteriorating so much of old age) so much and wanted another one. Only, my dad is allergic to pet dander, so he was searching the internet for dogs that are cute but that don't shed. Finally he found the dog he thought was most ideal... A golden doodle is a mix of a golden retriever and a standard poodle, so they're curly haired (like poodles) but look just like golden retrievers. Almost 3 weeks ago, Dad, Mom and I went to look at goldendoodles over the mountain. An amish man breeds them and labradoodles and he was selling them for a good price. Well... this is the result of that trip...:

Here is Zora Adora (female--Dad came up w/ the name, and it was the only one we all agreed on :)):



She was born September 5, 2008 and as of tomorrow (November 28) she will be 12 weeks old! :) Ain't she adorable? ;)

split_rockI "adora" Zora Adora! What a sweetheart! How big will she get? 
pjits already been three weaks??!!! thats crrrraaazzzzyyy!! "time keeps on slipping slipping.. into the future" yep that is zora adora the explora!! lab puppies are still cuter =P 
pjhaha.. i just saw that i mispelled weeks.. well used the wrong word.. i thought about changing it.. but then u wouldnt realize why i am a math and/or computer science major and not an English one... 
rogueangelAwww. She's so cute! :D 
ittybittyAwwww..... 
lizsmithAbsolutely adorable - the perfect name. I'm sure she's giving lots of love. I miss Peachy, and I don't even live there! But I'm really glad your parents and Zora have each other. All will benefit from the love. :) 
aslan419She is adorable!!! I love watching her on webcam. She's so well behaved for being so young. At least for the most part anyway!!! :) Love ya! 
dragonsong1986AWE! she's so cute! 
lizsmithSuch a sweet thing you told me - thanks! :) 
i_am_a_sheephow cute!! I love Golden retrievers!

The Gift by Jim Brickman 11-19-08 06:53pm EST
Mix 95.1 FM (a local radio station) is playing constant Christmas music now (started this past Monday). Today, this song came on and I love it! I remember hearing it years ago, but had forgotten all about it. I guess I like it even more now that I have someone I could dedicate this song to... :) Enjoy!


MusicPlaylist
Music Playlist at MixPod.com

be_with_me_lordVery pretty! 
i_am_a_sheep:] 
aslan419I have this album. I think that Mama and Papa got it for me one year for Christmas. I like it a lot! :) 
dare2dv8We seriously need to catch up. Maybe I'll call you later. But I don't even know what state you are in...

Jim and I are planning on being up in PA for the holidays...maybe we could meet?

I love you. I was just talking to Jim last night about how it's been almost 2 years (if I'm thinking right) since we've seen each other. Crazy. :-P

Well... 11-05-08 09:13pm EST
Whatcha think of the president for '09-'12? Don't you all rejoice at once... Seriously, though, I think there will be a wake-up call for our country. Neither candidate was a candidate of my choice--if I had my way, I would have voted for Mike Huckabee. Matter of fact, I should have wrote him in...

A certain someone has an updated blog. :D Oh, how I love him so! :)

**I deleted the playlist... I wonder if the sneezing/coughing from "Interjections" was what deterred people from venturing back to my blog?... haha. :))
trevaesaI agree that neither candidate was a good choice and that this will probably be a huge wake-up for Americans. 
i_am_a_sheepI hope that America learns from her mistakes... 
justlookingthat song is going to be stuck in my head all night. lol 
pjoh no.. hey.. my friend has that phone... its not that great.. I love you too honey!! thanks for the update.. and the update about myself =P now i dont have to update about myself.. and i got an update about urself.. haha!! i love you!!!! 
dragonsong1986I didn't like either one either... 
be_with_me_lordI just pray the punishment on our nation isn't too extreme 
aslan419By the way it was Indiana... hahahah!!! I agree that I would have rather had Mike Huckabee but out of the 2 choices that we basically had I definitely wouldn't have chosen the one we got!!! 
enchanteYou're welcome. 
aslan419Zora is absolutely adorable. I'm surprised that you haven't posted any pictures of her yet! Love you! :) 
leo_coolsteri love our troops i just think they need to be app better dont you think

Wonderful news! :) 10-25-08 03:31pm EST
Welp... My darling sister squared and brother-in-law (and Aslan :)) made it to Germany safely. I found out Wednesday after work that I will be an aunt... Stacey is pregnant! Not sure when the baby is due (I'm now being told she's due in July sometime), or when it was conceived, all I know is they are very excited and happy! I haven't even been able to talk to them since they've gotten to Germany b/c of the 6 hour time difference. Please pray w/ me for them and the baby! :) Thank you!

As far as my preparation for moving to Texas... 7 weeks until P.J. comes here to help me pack, the Lord willing! Less than 2 months! That is pure craziness, but in the best way, knowing that we'll never leave each other again after we reunite this time, the Lord willing. :) I'm in the search of finding a job in the medical billing/coding field down there, and P.J. told me I'll be staying w/ his grandma when I get there, which I'm thrilled about! She's such a sweetheart, and I know it will be beneficial for both me and her.

Hope all is well for each of you! Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Have a great rest of your weekend, and keep God first!
split_rockWonderful news all around! How are your folks dealing with all this excitement in their daughters' lives? 
phoenixsongThat is great. I'm very happy for you, Sar! :D 
dragonsong1986Thats wonderful! I'm so happy for your sister and brother-in-law! I'm also so happy for you in your move! Thanks for the update. *hug* 
lizsmithWhat exciting news about Stacey & David! I'm happy for them and for all of you. I'm sure your parents are thrilled! 
be_with_me_lordVery exciting news for you! 
crystal_91No problem, my boyfriend is currently in Iraq and his mother died over in Iraq 3 years ago so I am a big supporter of our troops 
lizsmithHi Sara! How are you? Do you remember how I mentioned going to antique stores to find yourself some furniture in TX? Well, just wanted to tell you about my "find" today - a chair AND ottoman for $150 at the antique store here in town. It's one I really enjoy going to. I find books and all kinds of interesting items. They're good places to go for gift items too. But the chair and ottoman have that burgandy red that will complement my couch and love seat in my livingroom so well. I was very excited to find it. 
aslan419My due date is 22 June, one day after David's birthday. Maybe he/she will be born on Mama's birthday! :)

Gospel Meeting coming up! :) 09-09-08 09:48pm EST
Who?: The disciples who meet w/ the Shippensburg church of Christ, but EVERYONE and ANYONE who wishes to learn more about the infallible word of God is invited. :)

What?: Gospel meeting w/ John A. Humphries. He will be presenting "Lessons of Great Value from the book of Luke" throughout the week, the Lord willing.

Where?: The building where the Shippensburg church of Christ meets on 412 East King Street, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257. (**Please feel free to leave a comment if you want directions and I'll give you my cell number and/or e-mail, whichever you prefer.**)

When?: September 14-19. We meet Sunday at 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and weekdays at 7:30 PM.

Why?: To "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". (2 Pet. 3:18)

We hope you are able to join us in learning more of His will for us as well as encourage each other to do our best in service to our King. :)
lizsmithwe're having our meeting this next week too! Ours is with Dale Smelser. The Triggs are planning to come over from Martinez Thursday for 2 nights. I've invited the Smelser men for dinner Friday evening so the Triggs can visit more with them. That way the "preacher men" can have some preacher conversations! Then after services Friday night I'm having several folks over for games, snacks, and desserts. (and oh yeah - I'm sure we'll be talking...) 
lizsmithHi Sara! I've thought of some other "furniturey" things (like the word I made up?). Yard and estate sales are good places to go to obtain furnishings. I have 3 real wood bookcases I've found at estate sales that I really like. It's easy to tell they were custom made for the family at the time. I love bookcases. Surprisingly, antique places/malls are a pretty good place to go. One near my house I like to go to occasionally sells furniture at pretty reasonable prices. They don't only just sell antiques. A couple from church here learned about a business in a nearby town that sells former hotel/motel furniture. They bought some for their daughter when she moved into an apartment. They just did some cleaning up and refinishing of it. You may have already thought of these things but thought I'd pass them on to you. Take care, dear! 
i_am_a_sheepI wish I could go! 
lizsmithHey Sara! Hope you have a good Gospel Meeting week. It's neat to realize you and your family and I will all be worshipping each night this week - separately physically - but together in spirit! Our evening services are at 7 which I prefer. Years ago we changed our Wed Bible study to 7, but the meeting times were kept at 7:30. Then one meeting someone inadvertently put 7 on the announcements, and it's stuck. Nice when school is going on. We're having a pot luck today at the Ivies after the morning service. Have a great day - love to your family! 
just2seeusmileI wish i could come!!!! :o( Enjoy!! I'd love to hear some things you learned if you dont mind after the meeting! 
pjits somebody's birthday today!! happy birthday honey bunny!! 
lizsmithAnd whose birthday would it happen to be???? Happy day! :) 
rogueangelI missed your birthday~ Sorry, Sar, I love you!! 
lizsmithSorry you had to work and couldn't meet with Steve & Mary - what a bummer - missed seeing you in the photo! 
split_rockThanks. It's going well. How are you doing? Long time, no hear! 
lizsmithThank you, Sara! :) 
rogueangelCould you say hi to Ryan for me plz? Yanno, the boyfriend? :D Make sure you tell him who you are and who your bf is...I've told him lots about you! 
justlooking^^ I'm her boyfriend, don't worry I'll take good care of her. :) God blessed me with her and I don't plan on messin' it up. :) 
rogueangelYeah...I'm sorry. :(
I wasn't on, and then when I was, I was talking to Ryan, and I can't talk on the phone and IM.
