More About Our Family
Our Special Interests	We love to read, play and listen to music, and spend time outdoors walking and biking. Alyssa loves to cook, and of course, Carl loves to eat her wonderful food. We are adventurous eaters and love to try foods of all different cultures. Our favorites are Japanese, Italian, and Indian. We enjoy having guests over for meals and usually invite church members, co-workers or friends over several times a week. We take road trips where we just talk, sing in the car, or listen to books on tape. We are also avid Bogglers and love to play the real game or online. We love family time and are deeply involved with our church and its outreach ministries.
Our Faith	We are Christians adopted by God. Part of how we show our love for God is by attending weekly worship services and by being actively involved in our church’s outreach ministries and activities.
Our Musical Interest	We like classical music and any kind of music that we can dance to!
About Our Home	We have a newly renovated three bedroom, two-story home with a large backyard.
