This week one of our most awesome friends, Chana, & her daughter Jadyn paid us a surprise visit from Germany! She, Jadyn, & her husband Key have been stationed in Germany for over a year, so we were totally surprised when they showed up!

We have been good friends with Chana for about seven years & she’s seen our entire relationship develop… dating, marriage, moving to TN, etc. So we have a lot of memories together. We’ve even made a lot of memories in just the few days that she’s been home. Most of you know Karmin music & how awesome her hair is… well, Chana & I tried to do our hair exactly like hers (keep an eye out on Friday’s post for more video/pics.)

We’re so happy to have been able to spend time with Chana & Jadyn. Key is stationed in Afghanistan; & it’s been so crazy to hear from an army wife about their lives & how many different things they’ve experienced since they’ve been in Germany. One day while they were here, Jadyn was watching Spongebob when commercials came on & she yelled “Mom! It’s all in English?!” In Germany her cartoons are only sometimes in English, but never the commercials, so it was somewhat of a treat for her!

Safe travels, friends! We’ll see you soon!

Today we wanted to give you a really fun video to watch! Ever wonder who does the voices for the Disney characters? Well, unless they are obvious celebrities, you probably will never know. However, in this case, Nick Pitera sings all of the voices in Aladdin’s “A Whole New World.” Yes, he sings Aladdin AND Jasmine’s part… & he sounds amazing!

Pretty amazing, right? There are so many more videos & so many more amazing parts that he sings. Check him out on youtube You’re guaranteed to laugh & be amazed!

Most of you don’t know who my mom or my sister are; & you’ve probably never met them. Well, let me introduce you to my mom, Annette & my little sister, Kayla. We were fortunate enough to share my sister’s beloved summer break with her. She spent six weeks with us & oh how we’ll have a lifetime of memories! I would share these awesome memories with you, but words could never explain how funny or special they were to us. You know how it is, some moments can only be shared by sisters… & brother-in-laws.

After six weeks with Kayla, our mom came to spend a week with us. We took her to every “Nashville” place we had time for… & of course we introduced her to besties, Zach & Jody. Believe it or not, my mom, Kayla, & I have never had any photos taken together! Kayla & I decided that photos are a must! So, as a surprise gift to my mom, we had a little photo session with Jody; & as always, she rocked the photos!

Good news folks! We’re coming to Maui! Yesterday we had the awesome opportunity to skype with Anna Kim of Anna Kim Photography & she has decided that is time for us to shoot her a rockin’ promo video. So in September, if you’re in the area, give us a shout because we’d love to meet all of you Maui peeps

As many of you know we were HUGE Lost fans & most of the series was filmed in Hawaii. So naturally we asked Anna Kim if she was a Lost fan & if she would help us do the touristy thing by showing us the Lost locations. Not only was she a fan, she told us that she had the opportunity to meet Benjamin Linus! (Sorry, if you’re not a Lost fan, this probably won’t seem such a big deal to you.) “Ben” was one of the main characters & she said she walked into a restaurant one day, said hi “Ben”, & he invited her to join him for lunch! How awesome!
