the twist...part two...

...this was the picture I forgot in the other blog.
That is the coach to Jeff's left.On Sunday,
We had a few surprise visitors to come and watch Chelsey play. We were hoping she would play...
'cause Nana, Papa, Aunt Candi, Tristan and Carley, all came to watch.
Chelsey didn't play the entire first half. It was a physical game, we didn't have any line judges or "AR's" for those of you in the soccer world, and the main referee had some questionable calls.
Chels, couldn't stand it any longer, she had to go in. She started the second half in the goal. She got roughed up and was called for a push in the box. So it was just her and the ball, being kicked by any player they chose, only 10 yards from the goal. My tiny girl, in the goal, less than 24 hours from being in the ER and I am in a slight panic. Just a slight one, it was scoreless, this was do or die. All because she was going for the ball.
the girl kicked...
Chelsey jumped...
the ball flew...
over the goal!
Hallelujah!!
Saved again.
Thankfully that game ended, scoreless. We went to lunch with the family and headed back to Woodburn to shop.

Wow what a story! I would love to have Alyssa watch one of her games to see how the bigger girls really play! I am so happy to hear though that Chels did not break her leg.

Praisin' Jesus for just a nasty bruise! I would like to say I'm surprised she played on Sunday ~ but come on we know Chels and her soccer! *smile*
