 Hey, you guys, how are you guys doing? It is today after Christmas. Um Y'all it's just a weird space for us. It's been like in this weird space for my family since September-August honestly because we are moving relocating to Texas, so We are living we have been living in a small apartment small for us It's a fairly good size apartment on its way Since September and it has been challenging to be in this little tight space with all of us Cuz baby if you being with your man as long as I've been with with mine He ain't gonna get on your damn nerves. And when you went a short space and you see them all the time It's like go go somewhere kind of sort of so y'all look at my hair, too, baby This hair is old like a month old. I'm gonna wash it today. I guess um Um So yes, you guys, I'm very grateful. Let me tell you something I thought that we would make the move within Two years because that's what I was telling my family and friends like y'all y'all we gonna be adding within two years But then my husband who's very smart. Thank you Lord for blessing me with someone who is intelligent My husband was like no, we can't wait. I'm like why what's going on? And so his point was if we wait Whatever we buy It's gonna be it's gonna be crazy. He said yeah, absolutely. We wait We're gonna get way more money for our house, but that means we will have to also buy Something that's more more than what we had anticipated. So I'm like, okay, so what should what should we do? So he was basically like, okay, we just Sell our house Soon as possible and we buy in Texas. So what part of Texas you want to move to? We decided to move to a town called Forney, which is the like 30 minutes east of Dallas, Texas DFW my best friend also lives in Forney now I've visited Forney number of times and those you don't know We I mean I'm from Texas. I wasn't born in Texas. I was born actually in Columbus, Ohio girl There's a whole story behind that even though I'm a southern girl. I'm from the South and It said actually anytime before the 80s was considered How should I put it go it was uncommon for women to have children out of wedlock and There was actually homes for women who were having children when they weren't married There were group homes for this and this was the thing and then the child would eventually be adopted Now you from the country what they would do is send you to a relative and you would have that child and secrecy quote-unquote so My mother was what I tell y'all this I'm just trying to explain to you while I was born in Ohio Okay, my mother was sent her little fast, but since the Billie Jean wanted to get pregnant at 19 My grandparents sent her to Ohio with her older sisters until she was able to have me Right after that she came back to Texas and my family my parents eventually got married, okay? So I was basically raised in East Texas long view Texas to be exact So when my husband asked what part of Texas do you want to move to you and move to East Texas? I'm like hell no Just because our family is not used to living in that Type of environment and we've been in for me for me is a small town But it's only 30 minutes from Dallas So we want to get back to the city quote-unquote. It's right there Or you know what I mean for me is only 20,000 people Long view has like 89 90 90,000 people and so yeah, it's a lot I I Sympathize and I am totally empathetic towards those you who are frontline workers And I'm talking about my nurses doctors those you who are in the medical field Those are you who work in like the bank even the banking system. It's just so much going on These are this that that's not really a front line, but you're a forward-facing Customer service type of job. You know what I mean? I'm working in the food industry You know working as a waitress working as a grocery clerk or whatever But baby my husband was I am grateful that he's taken some time off He been not me getting on hers, but I I'm grateful that we are able to have the means for him to be able to take some time off because when I tell you he is stressed And I know a lot of you are stressed that are working in the medical field and Again, my husband is a medical technologist and he is one of the lead medical technologists He has over 15 years of experience and he's saying like everyone is so overwork. They're overtired and His last day is January 5th y'all. He's gonna take some time off, you know, and just Just you know not work and get on my nerves at home. No My husband is quiet. He's not more mostly be on his What do you call it his tablet looking at news articles or stuff like that or doing stuff within his group his Diorama group within the his country. So Now baby this apartment complex. Look, I already told y'all how much we were paying For rent granted. It's because we're on a seven month lease even though we're gonna be breaking that $2,000 a month For a two bedroom to be at the apartment to break the lease. The penalty is Crazy it's over $4,000 something's got to give y'all. This is crazy. So That's going on baby. This will probably be our last my last fall blog here in Texas, but girl I was looking at some of my other videos like I'm not gonna be doing hair related videos anymore y'all in this apartment I have two more schedule and then after that I'm saving everything for when we move back to Texas And so it may be a month or so before I can get back to making, you know hair related videos because Everything just doesn't look right. It doesn't feel right to do it in the apartment. Um, it's echo-y I can't get my aesthetics right right now So I'm just gonna wait till we're settle in Texas and they may take another month for me to get get it together Let me make sure I need to go to the store And I'm gonna wear this to the store. I don't get I don't care. I don't care. I'm wearing this at store It's cute. It's covered pray Scott Whoo Let me I'm texting people. I'm in here y'all. I'm by myself in the car now Don't mind the bad girl. Look the people who are shipping off my car. They said that I can put stuff in the car Let me let um Who am I texting only me let Angel know her dogs cute Hey Angel Hey girl Let me text Ms. Linda shout out to African hair god y'all I stopped watching him for a while only because Nothing to get some I I do like a lot of his contacts. Excuse me African hair god And so I did catch the last one on the sum of it and he is donating his money to london Hey, honey Hope Is well All right y'all let me I'm gonna go to the store the good thing about living right over here All right, y'all let me get this thing together so we can go to the store so you can go to the store with me Girl so what did y'all cook? All right girl So it's gonna be a little rocky rocky road, but you already know The good thing about living over here is that I'm right by the store like walking distance so They ain't nobody walking but I'm just saying that's how close it is All right, so I just got to go get some paper towels. I cooked yesterday, of course. I Wasn't really going to cook for Christmas y'all cuz I really don't eat like that anymore So what did I cook? I made dressing of course I made hint. I made it the same thing dressing here, but I did do collard greens. Sorry y'all the light. I did collard greens and I made corn a coconut cake So what the hell am I going to the store for that? I'm going to go get some Paper towels because we don't have any paper towels and yeah, I'm just I Just want to be in the truck or in the car on my way to Texas I'm like it gets me so much anxiety to know that we have to do all this stuff again Cuz we just moved to this apartment and like what was it September? I have always Worked since I've been with my husband or even when he wasn't my husband That's a lie let me back that up when I first came out here I didn't have a job But I would never want it to be the Stay at home white now. Let me say this I Feel confident that my husband would not leave me in the dust If something were to happen because just for the caliber of man that he is but you never know let me zoom in on y'all You'll never know people change So I think it's it just really really breaks my heart. I could not even watch London's video Linda And you know what let me just say this I saw a comment from someone who was basically like I Hope that other people are you know, whatever that were the other youtubers, you know They support you and helping you, you know when you were having things with me L or my L You know, everyone came out, you know and supported you and now where are they? Let me tell you this. There are those of us who are working in the background that are doing things for Linda I know I don't know if she's a youtuber. There are somewhere there locally who has reached out to her Me personally I have reached out to her and Linda If not a monthly every two weeks just a temperature check to see how she's doing ever Don't ever allow someone to take you so far away from your friends and family That is that is a form of of control. Okay um Linda's fairly young and perhaps she didn't know that she got married fairly young to you guys in her early 20s like I believe like 20 21 correct me if I'm wrong 2021 so um Granted, I know there's some growing ads, you know, she's grown but there are some seasons women's that have Uh done some things like that That have allowed a man when they get married and he says okay I want you to be it be a stay-at-home wife. You know, you have your two two and a half kids and I'll provide Okay, but continue to stack your money up on the side You know what I mean? Don't just allow it is a lot to just to be a wife and a mother You don't take care of the household But don't allow that to define who you are. This is what I'm trying to say What the hell is this child's mama? This little boy is running a good foot in front. You see these new parents I wish my child would run anyway, so Stack your money up on the side Okay, one two Be doing something still in the midst To be working on yourself Um, and it's not to say it's not to say, you know, go go to college, you know, what I'm saying is that take a class Um, there are free classes you guys Facebook and I believe even youtube offers certain classes Research maybe if I if I remember I'll post it down below. Especially facebook. Okay, take one class at a junior college Do something just don't Be comfortable Don't get too comfortable. Let me tell you something When my husband and I were in a spot We weren't even married when we were at a spot I was stacking my money up on the side the entire time gurney. I had a job But I always made sure I was stacking my money right now. I'm in a play I know why I'm feeling uncertain right now because I'm in a place to where I don't have a lot of savings I'm just being transparent with you guys But once we moved and I would get into a routine and we're not, you know Use the money for every little thing because I had a lot of experience expenses Not just with the moving but I guess my point is there's been a lot of Additional expenses was 300. I mean, it was just like at one month I had an additional 800 dollars in expenses that I had to pay and I'm like So some of that I didn't see my savings. So this has been going on since September Where I've been having an addition granted it wasn't that much money But my point is is that if I didn't have that savings, what would I do go to my husband for every little thing? No, so now that I've depleted my savings almost now. It's time for me to build it back up and do it slowly I know I'm going around and around but when linda was Y'all linda was walking on the side of a busy a busy road With her baby crying when I tell you I couldn't finish that video. I couldn't finish it It is so disheartening to see that On what type of man would I grin it? We don't know what's going on, you know I started thinking about all the people who are not even though I haven't lost anyone close to me. I just started thinking about the families who have lost people You know people who have lost loved ones during the holidays and how hard it is And then I was thinking about flour here. I go getting all emotional. I'm sorry y'all And then I was thinking, you know, I was okay. I've been okay for like the past few weeks or so, but then The holidays I always get upset Not for me personally, but I just get sad for other people, you know, like You know people who lost their loved ones and granted. I haven't lost anyone But like my friend lost her husband Two of my classmates lost their husband um I just felt like 2020 2020 was just such a A year and then 2021 we all you know coming into 2021. We're all excited. Yeah, we made it. Yay We can things are coming back to a certain place of normal Then you have certain people that just died You know, I don't mean my classmate his his His wife died like a couple of days ago and I'm like Oh my god. So I'm a type of person that I get sad for other people even though I'm okay And I'm blessed but I get sad for other people I'm sad for my best friend. I mentioned that she's going through. I don't know if I mentioned that she's going through some stuff right now and I've had to tell her I'm like, please hold on. I mean, I know you're you're upset and it's stressful But please hold on baby. I'm almost there so I can sit in that with you I just don't want people to feel lonely and you know I just I don't know y'all. I'm just an optimistic person. I just wish I could pour My happiness into other people, you know what I mean? I just really wish I could pour that into them You don't y'all y'all have to excuse me Um Hold on. Let me see what these kids are doing Yeah, these girls over here. I'm not gonna put them on because they mean JP's all the way down here though, which is absolutely crazy. Hey y'all, how's it going?
