Our Wedding

Linda-

Honest, joyful and loveable,

Sister of Sue, Soua, Steven, Devin, Christopher and Lindsey,

Lover of the freshness of Spring, chocolates and sweet melodies,

Who feels like she should reach her full potential in life,

Happy when she has nothing to worry about,

Who needs sunshine, love and friends,

Who gives a hand, smiles and friendship,

Who fears snakes, the end of a good book and losing someone special,

Who would like to see peace, love and joy in every heart,

Is deeply in love wih Chistian Asilo,

-Moua

Xtian: An Autobiography (abridged version) 

Born in the Asian archipelago of the Philippines, Alfred Christian took in his first breathe in the provincial town of Pampanga. His family lived with his grandparents in their farm for a while until they decided to get a house closer to the city of Manila. They lived in a small house in Antipolo City. Because their father worked overseas, the family decided to move with him to Saudi Arabia. Leaving his home country gave him butterflies in his stomach. He wasn't sure how life would be in such a foreign country.

At the age of 6, Alfred Christian studied at a school whose curriculum was American-based while in the Middle East. He met many other students and friends whose families moved to Saudi Arabia to work. Though school was a one hour trip through the desert, Alfred Christian did not find any trouble adapting to the foreign country. He studied at the school till seventh grade until he decided to try the British-based curriculum at a different school. His family disliked the school's management and decided to move him back to an American-based school. After one year, he was accepted at a boarding school in the United States.

With the companion of his friends, he continued his studies at a Catholic high school in the city of Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin. Saint Lawrence Seminary was a diverse boarding school. In the beginning, it was difficult for Alfred Christian to cope in the United States without his parents. With the amount of school work and the openness of the environment and surroundings, Alfred Christian was able to adapt into the new area.

After high school, he moved to Duluth, Minnesota to pursue a degree in Finance. In the beginning, it seemed like a long journey. Time went by quickly. After four and a half years at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, Alfred Christian graduated with BA in Finance. He took the opportunity to move to the Twin Cities to find work. Finding work during the recession was difficult. He was able to work as a temp at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Seeking to find better work qualifications, he decided to work on acquiring his MBA. With his friend Marc, he decided to study at Argosy University in Eagan, Minnesota. At the university, he chose to do his MBA concentration in Finance and International Business. Currently, Alfred Christian is finishing up his MBA program. He will complete it by the end of October.

She grew up in the big cities and wanted to get away to a small town for school. He flew overseas to go to school in the United States. What started as a friendship turned into something more. Both has never been in love with someone before until they both met. From the very first day they set eyes on each other, they knew that they would be spending the rest of their lives together.
