Karen and Sam

Today Aunt Karen came for a visit. We were honored she came by, as it was only a short 36 hour visit to Chicago to visit her brother and their newborn baby.

Karen is married to Andrew, Adam’s college roommate and my family friend. Karen also serves a very important role in our lives – Adam and I met at her wedding.

Since their wedding we have all become fast friends. Karen and Andrew (along with 10 other of our good friends) spent 11 days in Hawaii with Adam and I on our second date.

Last year we rented a villa with them in Cayman and vacationed together.

We now have two sets of kids that are the same age, which is a bonus when it comes to keeping  your friends close. Your interests in activities and vacation spots run parallel.
