Oh sorry,

I had missed where you had said she is going to Stanford. I wanted to know if you meant the youth Olympic team or the adult team. I had assumed you were referring to the adult team, due to you using the word "full", but I wasnt quite sure. Reason being, I wanted to catch her play, so that I knew which team to look for.

Anyway, Im happy for her, and on behalf of all Americans, and those who enjoy the game of soccer, we are proud and will be cheering for her.

Carla, that's about the coolest news I've heard in a month. You should be proud!! Tell your neice that she has people from all over the world rooting for her, and we'll be watching!! Keep us posted on when her matches will be aired, won't you?



Way to go Aunt Carla!! :yh_clap :yh_clap

Thanks guy we are still excited today.. She is such a good kid went right from High School to Stanford on a Soccer Scholorship, mind you she is also brilliant. She will turn 21 in August.. She is so excited, they wanted picture of her growing up playing soccer. My mom had a picture of her first game she always wore her shin guards over her socks not under...:wah: :wah:

I think that's really cool Carla. You niece just might be the next Mia Ham. Ok I don't know how to spell her name, but you know who I'm talking bout.

Auntie Carla! YOu must be swelling with pride!

Will you buy me a souvenir from the Olympics?:)

CONGRATS AUNTIE CARLA!!!

(And of course to your Neice also)

You must be so proud that you're sticking you chest out further then Dolly Parton! Now that's proud!
