About Alyssa

Alyssa comes from a family of 6! She is the youngest of 4 sisters and 1 awesome big brother.  She grew up in Utah in a wonderful home with loving parents.  She has fond memories of neighborhood friends, camping and hunting with her family, growing a garden with her dad, and having lots of pets.  After graduating high school, Alyssa went to Rick's College in Idaho where she especially enjoyed singing in the choir.  She also had opportunities to study abroad and travel.  After graduating from Ricks, Alyssa went to BYU to finish her degree.  Alyssa had lots of interests and changed her major three different time from Dance, to Elementary Education, to Russian, but she had lots of fun with her roommate and BFF Lindsay.  Alyssa knew she had met the man of her dreams when Spencer got off his mission, but she always had the desire to serve a mission.  She was called to serve in Russia and had a wonderful and challenging mission.  After getting married to Spencer, Alyssa was able to finally finish school with a degree in Family Science.  She also taught piano for 7 years while Spencer was in school.  The most important thing to her is her family and close friends.  Her favorite things to do are: going with her kids to Disneyland, visiting family and friends in Utah, exercising because she always feels better when she does, listening to good music, being in the outdoors or playing sports with her hubby, and when possible, taking a nap! Right now she especially enjoys being the Den Leader to 8 great cub scouts including her son, Isaac! Alyssa lost her father to cancer 4 years ago and has learned that most certainly, life is precious.  Her greatest desire is to make each day count and to be grateful for everything she has been blessed with.
