This happened several times throughout the day……it tends to
be dad and I’s biggest struggle when we are on schedule together J I suppose it could always be worse…..you just
never know how we may TRY to spell things between the 2 of us, but you’d think
we’d be on the same level of bad spellers and it be easier….. I’m just glad he doesn’t’ have to dictate
what is capitalized or not….for those who have received notes/announcements
from dad via him being a “coach to athletes” before where everything was in CAPS
LOCK……
So after dad got his crack…..I mean his crackers…we did what
98% (that statistic is estimated…but probably suitable) of West Virginian’s
were doing at Noon on Saturday…..watching the WVU/Baylor football game…our fist
big game of the Big 12 conference….. I
will highlight the game in my blog…because we won J See…. Let’s go back a few years…well…SEVERAL
years J……
dad actually went and played his freshmen year at WVU…. He had gotten a scholarship graduating from
Sherman High School in southern WV (which is a very small town)….and got
noticed by WVU for his athletic talents.
I suppose he’s got some bragging rights…but let’s not get him started J Dad discovered though it just wasn’t “him”
(And I think he missed playing multiple sports) and transferred later to play
at Glenville State where he ended up taking over the record books...and of
course the best thing…..he met my mom….therefore allowing me to be here today (and
mom to help him with his homework) J I’ve grown up answering the question MANY
times… “Are you Terry Spangler’s Kid?”
When I answered with a “yeap”….it was usually responded very quickly “Ohhhh
Man…I remember one time when he…….” (Sports related story)…… We use to tease dad we didn’t believe his
stories, and now we have some random person justifying them to us….. There are very few times we could top dad’s
stories that started out...”When I was your age….”
The running continues to go well….I’m just lovin’ this time
of year…. This past weekend’s long run was “only” 2 hours….it was funny how my approach
to the run was feeling like it was such a short little thing compared to the 3
hours the weekend before….And it will be 3 hours this coming weekend. Being out at the farm has helped a lot with
the mental approach to a change of scenery and being further out where I have
the road to myself most of the time. I
had some fun pictures I took to share (and of course have seemed to misplace my
camera cord somewhere). On Sunday I
laced my shoes up and got my run in and had them pick me up on their way
leaving the farm. Last night’s run was
nice…the sky was beautiful when I returned home, but the picture doesn’t seem
to really do much justice.
I’m booking our train tickets today….so NYC Watch out! J We decided to make it a fun adventure up,
driving to DC and visiting a few friends and then taking the train to the city.
I’ve never taken a train in the US before (always Europe…but now feel bad not
here)…so this will be a fun adventure all around J
We keep pushing towards our goal…..and I
finished the flyer for our upcoming event on the 24th of this Month….so
if you’re interested…We’d LOVE to see you there…and make a little party before
the trip to NYC. Sponsorships for the
event are available, tickets on sale….and we’ll see you there
AND....today marks the 30 days out.....AHHHHH :)
I still have all of the notes your dad gave me from XC. =) They're pressed between the pages of my yearbook.
ReplyDelete<3 I found one from bball that was in all caps the other day and couldn't help but just start laughing. I don't even know how we read them...and the spell check at that time didn't work on "CAPS"... haha
