It was exciting and sweaty and so totally natural all at the same time! Bill Leslie and his camera operator Keith were amazing and hilarious and adorable! Hopefully it turns out well and we represented ourselves accurately and we don’t Ricky Bobby our hands!!! Ok so don’t miss it…next Friday, December 5th at 5:50pm on WRAL! We love you Bill!!!!

And again thank you so much Melinda for making this happen! We love you! Virtual Hug!

Ok so on to our next exciting news announcement!!!

We posted a blog about Fleet Feet on May 19th (Two Meatballs: If the Shoe Fits…Buy It!) bc we work three doors down and were both in desperate need of new shoes for our new life!

Fleet Feet always seemed kind of intimidating bc we were the furthest thing from runners…but you guys…WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE! Tom and Katie took such good care of us.

And I mean look how far we’ve come!!!! We look totally different!

We actually recreated all of these past shots for fun! We subbed in Ryan bc Tom has left for a life of fame!!!

We reached out to their marketing guru, Jacob and he cross promoted our blog. And a relationship was born. So last week after we got the great news about Bill Leslie and our start to fame…Jacob reached out and offered us an opportunity to partner up for a program they are launching in the new year called Ton of Fun!

We will be participating as well as guest blogging and possible motivational speaking!? He sent me an email of bullet points of their program and the link to sign up:
