Go Alyssa!

This past weekend Todd and I watched a soccer game.
Alyssa Wimmer and Lexx played together on
the same competitive soccer team for four years.
While they were in the same age group,
Alyssa is a year above Lexx.
Ms. Alyssa is graduating from William Jessup University
in December, so Todd and I decided we needed
to go watch her last home game.
I'm so glad we did.
 
WJU played against Menlo and beat them 1-0.
Alyssa almost made a bicycle kick into the goal
in the last few minutes of the game but it barely missed.
So exciting!
I was so impressed with how much she has
grown as a soccer player and a woman.
 
Lyss plans to move to Ecuador and work with
impoverished families in the jungle.
She is truly an amazing human being.

Go WJU!
 
WJU travels to Arizona to play in the championships.
I'll keep you updated as I hear more.

I remember Alyssa and her mom--not so much her dad. What kind of degree has her going to Ecuador? On another note, the yellow plum tomatoes look great :-) AA

Lyss is getting her major in psychology and a minor in International Relations (or maybe she's a double major - can't remember). She's definitely grown up to be a wonderful young woman.

And the tomatoes are pretty. I just like to look at them, not eat them. That's Todd and Alexxa's job.
