 to another apples and tiara's vlog so today is going to be the first day of my week one of summer break vlog i decided i'm going to do weekly vlogs and they're going to be kind of like all over the place just kind of talking about what we're up to um just to keep y'all in the loop see what we're up to so today is monday the 29th of may and what did we do today this morning i went to the gym with my friend shelby who i've been friends with for a very long time um she still lives here so i went to the gym with her and then i went to sprouts the grocery store i spent way too much money on groceries um but i like did like full blown groceries for the three of us so um after that we came back to the house or i came back to the house um and we hung out for a little bit i got to look at some of our house plans we had our electrical plan and our four foundation plans and the final floor plans that i had to look through and approve and like make changes make notes um overall the plans are great and there were only a couple of little changes to the electrical plan and one of the sides of the house the elevation um and so those will go back to the draftsman to get changed and then things will continue to roll through um hung out with cash had lunch and now i'm taking a load of stuff that was in my mom's garage to our storage unit i don't even know how some of this stuff ended up in the garage and not in the storage unit to begin with i think maybe it was like in one of the like the pickup trucks when we moved up here and instead of like taking it back because it was mixed in with like things we were keeping at my mom's um if you guys didn't know we are going to be living with my parents until the house is built so i'm just going to call it home for now because it is home um and we're going to be living there for a long extended period of time so why call it my mom's it's our home right now um so i just think that maybe it got mixed in with things that were going home um and then i had to go through it all and then decide what stays and what goes so a lot of what i'm taking home or back to the storage unit today is stuff that we probably won't really need at my mom's um so it's going to go to storage and then while i'm at the storage unit i'm going to grab the few things that i have left that go to my classroom i think there's like a couple of shelves maybe a few bins that go to my classroom and then tomorrow cash and i have some plans for the day but we're going to stop by my classroom and just unload what's left um to go in there so um then after this we're just going to hang out at the house and chill and you know make some dinner it's about four o'clock right now scott should be off i think he gets off meeting in the driveway by six which would be great um i thought he got off at four today but he's not home yet so either he's not off at four or he got hung up on a call or something like that we'll see after call and see what his status is but yeah so now we're heading over to the storage unit gonna do a little bit of organizing that i'll show you guys what it looks like it's pretty full um but there is a lot of space for all of these little things that are going and there's going to be some space for when we start purchasing things for the home like appliances because we want to buy appliances um like when they have big sales like president's day sales black friday sales um you know that kind of stuff we can get ahead and start buying appliances early have them completely paid off and then those don't need to go into our home loan we can just kind of like buy them with cash or like you know easy credit card financing if we need it so anyway we're gonna see what the storage unit is looking like because i haven't been there since it got filled with my classroom stuff and that it was like to the door um the whole house and my classroom was completely filled to the door so we're gonna see happy tuesday um i apologize that this angle is yucky but i'm driving and i'm gonna be safe so i'm on my way to the gym it is 6 39 right now i should be there like right about seven um my friend shelby and i decided that we are going to meet at 7 a.m all this week and then next week we'll be meeting up in the evenings um because i'm gonna be working for my sister next week and i'll be working from like eight in the morning until three in the afternoon so it's either gonna have to be we meet really really early like six in the morning to work out which i really don't want to do because i have to give it five or i have to go home rest for a bit and then go out to the gym like later in the evening so we'll see we'll see how it goes um i definitely don't want to be missing out on workouts so i do know that there's going to be a week in june where i'm not going to be able to work out for a week because i'm doing a sleep away camp at the lake with my sister and um obviously i'm not going to be able to leave because i'm like an overnight chaperone so i can't just be dipping out to go to the gym but other than that i am i'm sticking to it i want to work out at least four days a week at least um to to get started so maybe i'll take like the weekends off and then that week that i'm working for my sister like work out only on the weekends you know what i mean so we'll see anyway off to the gym um anyway and then i lived here my whole growing up like i moved here when i was 11 so i pretty much grew up here i moved away when i was 21 i went through college and lived in the valley like phoenix i lived in scott's dale until 2000 i lived in scott's dale mesa until 2016 and then scott and i decided to move back up here point he had been trying to get hired on by the police department down in the valley and we didn't really know we hadn't heard anything but it was a long long process and um we ended up moving up here we bought a house and then he got hired so it was kind of like this whole like well okay you work in the valley and i work here and we live here um and he tried to do the commute thing for a while but just got really hard on us as a family so we decided to sell our house and move back to the valley and when we did move back to the valley i think we always had it in our minds that we always wanted to come back here but scott really he's a very loyal person and he wanted to give the department that had hired him the time um because they gave him an opportunity so anyway he wanted to um a lot of people thought he was just going to go through the academy and then lateral back up here but he wanted to give them the time because they gave him the opportunity so we ended up living down there for like five years we moved back in 2018 which was after cash was born cash was like six months old when we moved back down there and then every year we would come up here to visit family and like be here and we would always say we want to move back we want to move back but we're making such good money down in the valley that it was really hard to like make that decision to take major pay cuts because let's be honest um i'll be completely honest with you guys i'm taking a ten thousand dollar a year pay cut to move back here and scott is taking a five dollar an hour pay cut to be here which doesn't seem like a lot but when you add it all up it's a lot um and so we're having to do you know a lot of things differently to live here um and you know prior to this year we really weren't ready to take that financial cut um but it just seemed worth it this time so anyway i'll go into more detail about like how we're making it work how everything is gonna happen i don't want to share too much because you know this is youtube and um you know i i don't need to share like that much personal information i just know that i'm very blessed to have um my mom involved no she's not giving me any money she's not like paying for things for us so that we can live that's not really how it's working out um we are still 100 financially responsible for everything it's just that my mom is helping us build a home because that's what her expertise is in and she's built several homes for herself she built all of our homes when i was growing up um and she built my sister a home and so she is giving us this gift of her expertise in being our like we're doing an owner builder um and even because we don't really know what we're doing we don't know how to build a house she does um and so she's helping us build this home which is saving us a lot of money we're also paying off our vehicles um and so paying off our vehicles is going to offset the income change um not a ton for me but for scott yes paying off vehicles is going to be a major help for us in our ability to live here because our mortgage is going to be completely it's probably going to be doubled what we used to pay down in the valley um but we're getting a custom home with land out of it so i think that the toss-up the trade is pretty um is pretty equal all right so what's the plan for today well i'm gonna go to the gym hopefully we're done by like eight eight thirty um and then i'll run home shower and then cash and i and my mom are gonna go to a local splash pad park with our friends and new neighbors they actually are neighbors of our new house like our lot it's going to be weird when i talk about like home and the house so i'm gonna have to like figure out how to describe both of them um but they are going to be neighbors at our new home um where our property is um and they go to the same churches us our kids were on the t-ball team together we recently discovered that we were gonna be neighbors um and so we're gonna go to the splash pad with them i might stop by school and just drop this stuff off i have a couple of other things i need to drop off there um and a couple things i need to grab to bring home from there like random bits that got like mixed in that weren't supposed to go go there but they went anyway so anyway um so i'm gonna get this workout done and then i will vlog the rest of the day so i don't want to get it washed i should clean it Wednesday it's 6 38 i'm driving to the gym today's day three okay so it is 6 45 we had a quick change of plans shelby texts me saying that she woke up feeling really like her allergies were like taking over so she took some medicine she wants to see if we can go to the gym later um after hair and everything because she's got a full schedule today so we'll probably go to the gym much later like probably around four and then um we will still go out for dinner with the boys tonight so i just kind of like made a loop because where i was at when she texted me it was like the perfect time because i could just kind of take the loop back um but i'm gonna just fill up my tank with gas and then head back to the house and just kind of chill all morning with cash and then um we will head over to the salon around to add she just highlighted me oh man i'm just realizing like she highlighted um all of the parts show when i style my hair so like she highlighted the top and the sides and just enough to like get me through because our end goal is like a balayage like i would like to have more of my natural hair showing and then just be highlighting um or i guess balayaging it long term and then i'm also trying to grow it out so she did trim it a little bit just because it needed it um and since my end goal is to have it growing out um she definitely recommended that we trim it so here's what it looks like done so it's way better than before and then um my broken bangs are kind of like they're not bangs they're just like broken pieces that are kind of like forming a little bang right here so i'm gonna have to like conscientiously style that so that they're not so yeah you can kind of see it right here um but it is what it is that's what i get for bleaching my own hair for a while but it's fine so i picked up some food i just got chipotle um i'm not gonna eat the whole thing i'm just gonna like fill my stomach with something and then we're gonna go to the gym home for a while so good morning happy thursday where are we going cash no to the lake we're going to the lake what are we gonna do there fish we're going fishing yep we got all our stuff packed back here just a
