Welcome Holland!

Our friends, Bryan and Aleta, had their baby girl this past Wednesday-May 13th. They named her-Holland Gwen. She weighed in at 7 lbs 9 ounces and is 20 inches long. We were able to visit them at the hospital and Savanna had a great time. She was so excited and kept saying "Baby, baby" over and over again. She even once called her, "My baby!" Holland is a cute, little girl and slept peacefully most of the time we were there. Congratulations, Aleta and Bryan! We know you will be great parents!

Here is a picture of Savanna meeting Holland. She is not paying too much attention to her here but that only lasted a few seconds. Of course it had to be when I was taking a picture of them.

How We Met

We met when both of us lived in the same apartment complex and were attending the same singles ward. We became acquainted as friends when one of Ashley's roomates was interested in one of TC's roommates and always wanted to hang out at their apartment. Ashley came along for moral support. Ashley has to admit that her initial impression of TC was not the greatest. She was wondering why he was trying to act like such a "tough guy" by shaving his head and going by TC. One day she asked him why he didn't grow his hair out to which he replied that he could not and she also learned that he goes by TC to distinguish himself from his father who is named Thomas Clark and his grandfather who is Thomas Clarence. TC relates that when he first met Ashley he thought she was cute and was contemplating asking her out or another girl in the ward. He did think Ashley was slightly immature because she was engaging in often frivolous activities such as throwing water balloons out her apartment window at people walking by and wrestling with guys in the apartment lounge. (She has grown up since then, TC says!) TC decided to give it a go and ask Ashley out after he came home from a trip visiting his sister, April, in Arizona. His roommates related that Ashley had expressed an interest in him. (Actually Ashley's roommate was trying to hook her up with TC and told his roommates Ashley wanted to go out with him. Ashley did not entirely object.) So TC called Ashley and asked her to go with a group to Pirates of the Caribbean. Their first official single date was to Wendy's (Way to go, TC, lol) TC and Ashley dated exclusively for about a year before becoming engaged in December of 2004 and were then married on April 23rd, 2005 and it has been bliss ever since!
