From HGTV’s Property Brothers to musical heartthrobs, twin brothers Jonathan Scott and Drew Scott have no shortage of talent. Now known as “The Scott Brothers,” the two of them have started their own country music together and have blown us all away from the very start with this new song ‘Hold On’. With their warm tones and rich harmonies, they sing outdoors about loved ones returning home to each other, and from this video you will find such happiness when seeing that come to life.
When the two of them started their own home show on HGTV, there was no question they work great together seeing how much fun and creativity they brought to the table. Now that they have begun their music career, it really only makes sense. Not only do they value family, as clearly sung in their beautiful lyrics, they have supported each other throughout their lives which is encouraging to watch.
With their contagious smiles, and hardworking reputation, you can’t help but watch them sing with a sense of joy. No matter where you’re at in life, it’s never too late to chase your dreams, and these two have inspired so many with their new music career showing us just that.
Couple Win An Award For Having The Best Retirement Home
When one couple decided to create their perfect retirement home, little did they know they’d actually win an award for it. In the video, we meet Jon and Nancy Nystrom – a married pair who have planned to spend their golden years in Boerne, Texas. Yet, instead of simply picking out a house, they decided to design one all on their own.
Fortunately for the Nystroms, Jon spent most of his career working as an architect. So, it just made sense that he and his wife were the ones to design the house where they would spend their retirement years. The 1,970 square foot home was created to be functional, durable, and also with materials that are low-maintenance. Jon chose a timber-frame, using wood so beautiful – that it helps give off an “organic” feel to the home. It has an ideal amount of space…with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a gorgeous kitchen, and a backyard with a fire-pit and pool. Honestly, what else could you ever need?
The Nystrom’s Texas home is so perfect for retirement, that they actually won the 2013 Best Retirement Home award from Fine Homebuilding. Once you watch the video, it’s easy to see why. The home looks so peaceful and comfortable, yet is completely stylish. Wow, now that’s how to retire!
Every Memorial Day weekend since 1988, Rolling Thunder/Ride for Freedom has been held in Washington, DC, to raise awareness of the Prisoners of War–Missing in Action of all wars.
United States Marine Corps Veteran Staff Sergeant Tim Chambers is known to the world as The Saluting Marine for standing at attention for hours in the middle of the street during Rolling Thunder. In the video below, filmed in 2013, he held the salute for 3-4 hours while standing on concrete, surrounded by the bikers who zipped passed and around him. Despite having a broken wrist, Sgt. Chambers stood strong to perform his powerful act honoring veterans everywhere.
Sgt. Chambers stands with his makeshift memorial — boots, a rifle, flack jacket and Kevlar — displayed proudly at his feet. Over the years, families of fallen soldiers have donated personal items to symbolize their body and spirit.
The courageous feat is never lost on those who take part in Rolling Thunder. Many veterans stop on their bikes to salute to Sgt. Chambers, and thank him in return for upholding such a revered tradition.
Watch Sgt. Chambers in action below, and please SHARE this wonderful video with your friends on Facebook.
Astray dog that came close to death has found a forever home with a woman who fell in love with him the moment she saw him on TV.
The dog was struggling for his life after he had fallen through ice in Lake Michigan. A passerby saw the frightening ordeal and called police. Officers quickly came to the scene and pulled the pooch to safety, much like the rescue team who saved a horse from a similar situation in Pittsburgh.
The dog was taken to the Humane Society, where he was appropriately named Michigan. But no one came to claim the dog after he recovered from hypothermia.
That was actually good news for a dog lover named Brenda Thompson, who wanted to bring Michigan into her own home.
“I threw some clothes on and came straight here. I was here pretty much every day since I saw that story,” she told TMJ4.
Thompson, who also adopted another dog right after Hurricane Katrina, made sure everything was set for Michigan before she’d bring him home.
“The first thing I’m going to do is take him on a nice long walk,” Thompson says. “His bed is all made up. He’s got brand-new bowls and toys waiting for him. He’s good to go. I think this is the beginning of a great friendship.”
Watch below and please SHARE if you’re glad Michigan got a happy ending!
Teresa Funk thinks she is going to her son’s graduation party. Boy, is she in for the biggest surprise of her life. There is so much awe, love, shock, and tears of joy in her face throughout the video you’re about to see, it’s impossible not to tear up along with her. She walks up the front lawn and immediately her son drops the news. This isn’t a graduation party, this is your vow-renewal party. It was Teresa and her husband’s, Darrell, 25th wedding anniversary, and what a way to spend it.
The wedding party hands her a bouquet of flowers, and instantly she breaks down. Her son officiates the wedding, and just like it was planned, family and friends are there to bear witness to 25 years — and hopefully 25 more — of love and devotion. A graduation party might have been fun, but I get the feeling that this was an even more wonderful milestone to celebrate. It takes a lot to plan a surprise party, but to plan what is essentially another wedding? It’s pretty clear that Teresa and Darrell must have one incredible marriage if their son was willing to do this for the two of them.
Watch the emotional video below, and please SHARE if you thought this was an amazing surprise!

The couple enjoys a moment at their 75th anniversary party.
A life-long love story: the secrets of an 82-year happy marriage.
It’s no easy task to build a long-lasting and happy marriage: it takes a lot of courage, patience and love. Is it possible to share all your life with one person and still be in love with each other by the end? Is it really impossible? If you have doubts, we urge you to take a look at the following couple’s story — we’re convinced it will prove you wrong. This is truly inspirational!Nicholas and Rafaela Ordaz claim that only romance and love reign within their family. This sweet couple from California, USA, has recently celebrated an incredible 82 years of marriage together. Nicholas recently turned 102, and his beloved Rafaela turned 100 in October, 2015.
’’Their parents lived to be 112 and 108, and they were also happily married. Divorce isn’t really something our family has experienced. Nurturing those relationships is a huge part of our culture,’’ says Leticia Ordaz (39), one of the couple’s many grandchildren.
Five generations have gather together to celebrate this happy occasion, but despite all the fuss around them and all the attention given to them, their eyes were on each other all the time.
’’They’re still so in love. It’s really quite remarkable,’’ says Ordaz. ’’In every picture, they’re holding hands or trying to kiss each other. At one point, my grandfather pulled her aside and said, ’Rafaela, let’s go to the bedroom now.’ Of course we all heard and started howling!
«But he didn’t even blush. He said that he had married the most beautiful woman in the world, and that her body was just as beautiful to him now as it was when they were first together.’’
Of course, such a successful long-term relationship as this one has required much more than just passion over the years.
The couple has shared some pearls of their wisdom: they say that the key to a happy marriage is mutual respect and ’’not sweating over the small stuff.’’
’’They take care of each other,’’ says Leticia. ’’At the party, he kept looking around to see if she had gotten any cake yet. She has diabetes — she can’t really have cake! But he wanted them to experience it together.’’
Leticia, having just celebrated her own ten-year anniversary with her husband, says that her grandparents taught her a lot about marriage.
Just a few more years together and the Ordaz family will set a new official world record: currently, the record for the longest marriage belongs to Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher, who were married for 86 years.
In view of all their years spent together, the happy marriage of Nicholas and Rafaela Ordaz is arguably a symbol of true happiness and longevity. ’’Now that they’re getting older, their memories aren’t as sharp,’’ their granddaughter says. ’’They forget everyone else’s names, although they always remember each other.»
