Throw back Thursday


Dear Amanda  H.,
  
Just wanted to to apologize for giving you one of the most popular girl's names in the late 80's.  Sorry that there are still people who probably think of you as Amandaaich. [Would it help you to know that my second choice was Amelia and I ruled it out because of Amelia Bedelia?]   Also I would like you to seriously consider running the Yellowstone Half Marathon with me this summer.  I am in my fourth week [of 20] of couch to HM training and I have registered and procured a site to set up my tent in West  Yellowstone. And I have been online browsing compression shorts.  So you can see that I am pretty serious about this.  I am not getting any younger and you will be having kids and time is short for us.  And I will let you win like I used to when you were little.
                               Love,
                               Your MOM

P.S.  my favorite part of your drawing is that you are kick splashing water in my face.  You may have been a brat.  Love you anyway.  M.

I looked into running with you but I'm running my 1 and only full marathon Memorial Day weekend. No way will I want to run that soon after. I'll run your 2nd half with you!
