All About Alex

My lovely sister tagged me, and I must say it's kind of fun. It reminds me of the game my sister did at my bridal shower only this time...no trick questions! Since some of you have never met my husband, this gives you a chance to know a little about him, and us. Enjoy!

1. Where did you meet your husband? Craigs list when I was looking for a job. He helped me find it.


2. How long did you date before you got married? 1 year and 4 months
3. How long have you been married? 1 year 2 months (today! Love you babe!!)

4. What does he do to surprise you? Sometimes he'll randomly bring flowers home for me.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes

6. What is your favorite quality? I don't know that I have a favorite but if I had to choose just one I would say his honesty. He won't say anything that he wouldn't say to your face.

16. What is his favorite music? Like my brother in law James, he love true hip hop but he enjoys just about all genres of music

18. What is his favorite color? Blue

19. Will he read this? Nope

People I tag? Janice! Your turn. I want to know more about you and your hubby! Have fun!

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe 2009 is now over and it's 2010. This past year has brought some big changes for us. We moved from Las Vegas to Salt Lake and we welcomed our little baby boy. Erick Robert Loa was born December 22, 2009 at 4:08 p.m. He weighted 8lbs 15oz and was 21 inches long. He gave us a bit of a scare while I was in labor but everything turned out well and he is doing amazing. My dr and the on call pediatrician cleared us to leave the next day. We were in the hospital for less than 24 hours after Erick was born and I'm so glad that they didn't make us stay longer. It was good for Alex and I to be home, in our beds, in our little comfort area with our son.

We had Alex's mom, dad and his wife Barbara here along with my parents. It was a full house and a bit crazy at times. Now, everyone is gone and it's just our little family. It's been a good day and we're loving having our little baby boy here now. Erick has been very mellow and when he's awake, he generally is just sitting there with you looking around. So far, he sleeps pretty well at night and doesn't even really wake up to eat. Alex and I feel so blessed as we have received so much help from our families. I'm excited to see what the new year brings.
