Our visit to Cambridge July 2008

Hi, guys! Last week we were having some fabulous weather, and there were all these photos of people punting in Cambridge in the free papers they give out on the trains, and I decided it was time to hit Cambridge and see what we were missing! So Corey and I took Friday off to check it out. We had a terrific day, and you can see what we got up to below. There's more photos if you click on the Shields' photo album link on the right.

Lots of love,

Sarah and Corey

Look what we stumbled on on our way to Cambridge...

Barcelona 2008

Hi! Corey and I just got back from a week in Barcelona, our vacation for the year. The weather was wonderful, the beaches were clean and beautiful, and the city was amazing, especially if you like art and architecture! We also got to hang out with our friend Lyndsey and her mom for a couple of days, cuz she was celebrating her birthday in Barca this year, which was great fun! Corey may have more to say about it later, but you can check out the photos below, and if you want to see more, click on the photo album link at the right.

Lots of love, Sarah (and Corey)

Sarah's birthday trip to the French Riviera 28-31 March

Hi, guys!

So my birthday's coming up and Corey and I decided that this year we would go on trips together instead of buying presents for each other, and he took me to Nice (pronounced "niece") and Monte Carlo on the French Riviera over the weekend. I must say it's probably the best gift I've ever gotten from him, and he's given me some good gifts!

So, check out the photos, and if you want to see more, go to our web album:

Lots of love,

Sarah and Corey

Corey's Update (its about time)

Hello again; It’s me Corey just saying hi and giving the updates.

I know its pretty lame but it was before Christmas since I last updated the blog. I have included a few pictures from my Christmas visit back to the States below. It was really nice to see family and friends again and to see all the new happenings of our old hometown.

Our visit back was pretty nice except we found that we were busy running around too much (I thought anyways). I also did not enjoy getting sick. My immune system had unknowingly been “anglicized” and was not use to those “Yankee” germs. I was sick twice and one of those times was with that horrible 2 day flu.

Anywho, Sarah and I had our 5th anniversary this January. To celebrate we went to Canterbury for the weekend. It was pretty cool. I had never read the book but I can say it’s a nice place to visit. Nice to get out of the city every once in a while. I have included pictures below.

We also had a Superbowl party back in February. We borrowed a friend’s projector and stayed up to like 3 am eating all kinds of great American junk food. A good time had by all, except for the last 5 minutes of the game. Enough said.

Work has been busy. The weather has been pretty good. Recently it’s been getting up the low/mid 50s here and we are starting to see spring flowers blossom. Everything is going pretty good.

Enjoy the picutures
