Way to Go Big Buddy...

Many of you have heard us mention "the buddies" so I feel as if it is time to explain "the buddies". The buddies are our sweet friends Eugene and Jennifer O'Donnell...Jennifer and I actually went to MC together and reunited through spectating our husband's traithlons this past summer. Then Jennifer started running with Matt and I when we were all training for the St. Jude 1/2 marathon in Memphis and that is when we all became great friends!

Now...the buddies? Eugene calls Jennifer "little buddy", and I really cannot remember how we started calling him "big buddy" unless that is what Jennifer calls Eugene. I just cannot remember that part. But with all that being said, we call Eugene and Jennifer Big Buddy and Little Buddy and that is the story of "the buddies"...

Now...what I am really posting about is "way to go, Big Buddy"...Big Buddy ran the Boston marathon on Monday and finished in 3 hours and 8 minutes, which qualifies him to run the Boston marathon again next year! He had a great race, and we are so very proud of him!

Big Buddy has the "most" supportive wife you will ever meet...she screams like a crazy woman at all of his races! This is a picture of her doing just that...screaming like a crazy woman...at the Heatwave this past summer.
