Adrienne -
My name is Adrienne Shields. As Sean mentioned earlier, my age is not important. What is important to me is my family, friends, our beliefs and morals as well as the work I do. I work as a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in child, adolescent, and family therapy. My work is often challenging as well as rewarding.

My personal life changed for the better when I met Sean in February of 2003. It was a blind date arranged by two mutual friends and I was nervous! I arrived for our date and immediately noticed he was so handsome (that did not help the nervousness). Over the next two years we became almost inseparable and were finally married in April 2005. Sean is kind, intelligent, and funny! I feel very blessed that he is a part of my life.

We share the same beliefs in God, the importance of family and friends, and often times the same sense of humor. He can make me laugh even when I don't want to.

Hobbies -
I love the art of photography. My friends will testify to the fact that I have often recruited them or their children to be my models so I can practice using different lighting! I have spent much time walking through the Antique Rose Emporium (www.antiqueroseemporium.com) as well as Martha's Bloomers (www.marthasbloomers.com) taking pictures of the flowers, fountains, and statues. These are beautiful places and I hope that you have a chance to visit them yourself.

My other hobby is scrapbooking. This is a new hobby for me and I am trying to become more creative! I am looking forward to creating a scrapbook for our little girl.

In my spare time I love to read psychological thrillers.

Sean -
My name is Sean Shields. I turned 32 this last year (2007) and am looking forward to becoming a father for the first time this year. Adrienne and I love to keep busy and tend to do major events all at once. I guess we don't like being bored! Within the period of just over a year we have gotten married, built our first house, and had our first child. Adrienne is a beautiful, devoted and caring person as well as wife. I have never been more happier and blessed than I am now!

I like to stay busy in my own areas as well and I completed my last class for my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology with a focus in Network Management. I have been attending Kaplan University at their on-line campus and I will officially graduate in February 2008. I work at Texas A&M University as a Lead Microcomputer/LAN Administrator, which really just means I fix "broken" computers. I also own my own consulting business and I work on computers and networks in my spare time. I enjoy computer games tremendously, golf, and reading.

Hobbies -
I enjoy playing computer games. My all-time favorite is Counter-Strike 1.5. There have been a few revisions since then and I really like Counter Strike Source which is the MOD for the Half-Life 2. Battlefield 1942, and Unreal Tournament 2004 are also some of my favorites. When I have time and the weather is good I enjoy golfing with friends and co-workers. Bluebonnet Country club is my favorite place to golf and they are planning a major renovation within the next two years, to include a 2 or 3 story plantation style clubhouse addition. I also enjoy reading novels and my favorite authors are Dean R. Koontz, Stephen King and John Saul. I enjoy anything to do with computers and networking as well as web and graphical art design.
