Press Release from Jens's College and PDL coach

I received Jensen's name from a coach in the area and from the moment I began having correspondence with Jens and his family I knew this kid had a bright future ahead of him. I quickly made arrangements to fly out to Utah to see Jens play and I was very impressed. After one match I was able to tell that Jens was going to make the transition from High School to College soccer very smoothly. He is a tenacious, hard-nosed tackler and plays physical soccer that many High School kids shy away from. Too often college freshman become overwhelmed with the level of physicality in the college game. It is clear that Jens is ready for the challenge.

It's not uncommon to find defenders with grit, but what impresses me the most about Jens perhaps is his ability to serve in dangerous balls and spring his attackers. I watched Jens send about 4 different free kicks into the area each one more and more dangerous. That kind of playmaking is a rare quality in most high school defenders and one that will serve the Iowa Central Soccer Program well this fall. Jens will be joined by Utah Valley standouts Sean Miller and Tyler Wood, as well as Bingham captain Jared DeHart and Layton defender Taylor Hancey. I expect this influx of Utah talent to make our bid for the National Tournament all the more attainable and I am excited for things to come.
Coach Ermals

Well, monday was amandas birthday and it was really fun. First we went to the pool and hung out there. After we were done we came home to examine every ones sunburns. Everyone got one but alivia got the worst of it. Some one had forgotten to put sunscreen on her back and now its like a lobster! It is pretty bad. We did that and then Levi got home and took every one exept Amanda birthday shopping and boy did we find stuff. Haha we started looking around and Elija starts saying: can we get mommy a transformer? And Levi was like no i dont think mommy will like that. When we were all done we got home and Levi pulls out these cards that have sound and one of them was a green weiner card and one was a donkey. The weiner card went something like this....(as you open it) WEINER, WEINER WEINER. The front of the card said: birthdays are like weiners and on the inside it said: ok well not really, i just wanted to call you a weiner. hahahahaha it was the best card ever!!!! I laughed sooo hard. The donkey one goes like this: "you? Turning a year older? and on the inside it says: well that makes my ass laugh and showes a picture of a donkey with its lips open and it is making donkey noise. i didn't think that was really funny, just annoying. We put the cards away and got ready to go to olive garden. When we got there we met Amandas mom and sat down. i got the fetichinni alfredo. When we finished eating levi and amanda set up this movie for the big people to watch and it turns out that Amandas mom didn't want to go to the movie. the movie was "The Proposal." it was one of the best movies ive ever seen. Yesterday was really not that exciting. i went to practice with the menice at the soccerhouse and got blood blisters on my feet from playin indoor. Today is the big game with my semi pro team and my college team. im going to be playing for my college team and i think we are going to get our butts handed to us by the menice. well thats all for now. love you all.

Yesterday was fathers day and am so sad that i wasn't able to spend it with my dad. i want to wish him a happy fathers day and tell him i love him. Love ya dad. Yesterday was so much fun. First we sat down to have a nice big breakfast with eggs and bacon, sausege, and hash browns and cheese on top. After that we got dressed and went to church. i had a choice of after sacrament meeting, going to the nusery with amanda and some of the kids, or going to the gospel doctrine class with levi and let me tell you it was such a hard decision...not i went to the gospel doctrine class with levi. as soon as we got done with those classes we left to make it on time to go to levi's parents house to visit them. After we got done there we left for Amandas parents. First we were going to tell them that i was just another foster child that they were going to adopt but then we had decided that that was pretty mean so we didn't. Both of their parents were really really nice. We went into the back yard of Amandas parents and sat and watched as the brotwarsts roasted and the hambergers cooked and finally they were ready. The brotwarsts were sooooo good! They had cheese in them just like the hotdogs that i used to eat all the time. With that cheese i had decided that baked beans would go good with them so i put beans on my dog and walked to go sit down. As i passed levi he noticed and was like...: why didn't i think of that. I just laughed. After every one was done eating we went out side and played soccer. i kicked butt but my team lost. hahaha well thats all for now im just about to leave for my school to practice with them to play the team that i just played for. Peace out.

Well...so far its been really fun. I have now offically played on my first semi pro team. It was only for about ten mins but those ten mins felt like i had proven myself to that coach. I am loving this new family so much. Tysa, is one year old. she is so cute! I love holding her and love that she is into me. haha Alivia, is just a big ball of fun. We have decided that she is going to be....excuse me, she already is a drama queen of the family. She also said that she loves me, haha so cute. Elija-is so fun. even though he is "sick" he doesn't show it at all. he has to take lots of medicine but other than that its been really fun. he has had to take some steroids to help make his body stronger to fight off the sickness and has been pretty moody lately but its just the medicine. Michelle is soon to be 12. Her birthday is coming up pretty soon and she is so excited for it. She is such a good helper around the house and am surprised by how mature she is for her age.

Well I'm in Iowa as of 5:30 Friday evening. The plane ride was fun. I sat by the window on my first flight since I was like 2 yrs old.
I'm relaxing tonight and then start right in playing a game tomorrow (Saturday 20th).

I'll add more soon!
