 Good morning everybody, welcome back to another vlog. This lighting situation is probably pretty bad, but I am in the car on the way to the airport because I'm flying to Alexa today, I'm so excited. There has been a change of plans though. So basically I was supposed to fly into Orange County. We were gonna drive to Laguna Beach, do our usual, you know, it's become our yearly thing. We have a really fun video to film together. We're actually filming two videos and then obviously just spending some time together. Having like a girls weekend and unfortunately yesterday. So today is May 12th, the day I'm filming this. Yes, it is May 12th and yesterday, May 11th, there was a really bad fire that happened in Laguna Nigel, which is like kind of a neighboring town to Laguna Beach. We don't wanna be in a situation where if it spreads, we would have to evacuate and like deal with all that. And although that's really highly unlikely, we felt like the safest thing to do would just be to not go there right now. Plus it's gonna be really smoky, which is so sad because we were just so looking forward to this, but obviously these things happen, natural disasters occur. So we're gonna skip out on that and just hang out at Alexa's instead. And she's actually moving in like a few days. So it's just gonna be like a sort of last minute spur of the moment thing. We did push our Laguna Beach trip back until her birthday, so we'll go in August. But yeah, now I'm heading to the airport to fly to her. I'm so excited. I love going to California as you all know. So any excuse I have to go there, I am happy as a clam. So I'm gonna hop on a quick, what, 40 minute flight to Orange County and then spend the day with my friend and just have so much fun. We're heading to California this morning and I'm so excited. Let's go. Just landed. I'm waiting for Alexa to pick me up. I'm so excited. I haven't been to this airport since like November of last year and I was thinking about it when I was getting my bag. And I think I've been coming to this airport, like been flying into this airport for like seven years now. I don't know. I just had so many big feelings about coming here from Nashville and being like, I just, I'm meant to be on the West coast. Like I just love California. I've always loved California so much. And now looking at where my life is seven years later is like pretty wild. So I'm very happy about that. I'm so like Laguna Beach and it's perfect weather. There's absolutely no smoke. Like I know that what we did was like a precaution and it was weird because we were in like a predicament last night where it was literally like 8 p.m. So it wasn't like we could just be like, let's wait till the morning cause my flight was in the morning. So we were just kind of stuck like, and we did not want to be here and have it be smoky or have the fire spread or whatever. But now we're here and it's like we could have absolutely stayed here. But it's okay. We postponed it till August and now we're going to, it worked out cause we're gonna like take some photos for the video. Like to go with the video that we're doing and we're just gonna like make a girl's day out of it. Maybe we'll just keep coming back this weekend, I don't know. Morning everybody. It's the next day. I always have all of these plans to vlog when I'm with people, especially like friends. And then I end up just giving caught up in the moment and just being social. But we had such a good day in Laguna yesterday and I kind of had to stop filming because we're filming stuff for like a brand thing. It's not like a secret. It's just, I just want to kind of like wait and make sure that like we're good. So if anyone like figures it out, it's no big deal but we're really excited. So we had to shoot some photos for that and that took like quite a while. Then we had lunch, we went to earth cafe, it was delicious. I love Laguna so much. It's genuinely my happy place and it sucks that like it ended up being such a nice day and there was no smoke or anything but whatever you live, you learn. And honestly being back at Alexa's is much nicer cause even though she's like about to move and the house is pretty much empty like we'll have just better lighting, better quality for our videos. So we're excited. So we're gonna film those. We actually didn't even end up thrifting yesterday. So we might do that today. We'll see. I'm gonna jump in the shower and get ready. We're gonna do more filming. So like we did kind of like Instagram stuff yesterday. We're doing YouTube stuff today, very exciting. We just had such a good night. We like ordered a cheesecake factory and just sat on the couch and watched the bake off. It kind of felt like the old days, like kind of pre-pandemic days. And we just went on a nice lovely walk. We walked to Starbucks. We got our little coffees. We learned like a three mile walk. It was really good. We're both like, we're loving hot grow walks. So we just chatted. It was like therapy. The birds are chirping. It's freaking beautiful. So yeah, it's like less than 24 hours until my, actually, yeah, less than 24 hours now until my flight leaves tomorrow. So it's like a super quick trip. And it's just basically gonna be a work day, but like it doesn't feel like work because we're like hanging out and having fun. So I'm excited and come along with me. Oh, here's my air mattress tour. There it is. Does anyone recognize this background? I always love being here. Okay, gotta go shower, bye. It's a little while later. It's like 10 a.m. now. Yes, 1034 and just got ourselves ready. It feels like 2018 right now. Like it's actually really exciting. Like Alexa has her shorter hair again. I have blonde hair again. We're filming in her filming room again. Like this just feels so good. I'm like so excited. So we've got everything set up. And by everything I mean, here's my air mattress. Here's where we are filming. This is the current background or what's left of it. I can't believe it. So cute. I'm so happy. We're about to film our very exciting video. And very excited. It's where I'm so sorry. I'm being so annoying and then we're gonna go thrifting later this afternoon. We decided so it's gonna be really fun but hopefully by the time this vlog goes up like it won't be too long before you can see it. So I hope that you're as excited as we are. Like if we're over hyping it, sorry. But we're excited and we're back. Well, just like that. It's seven a.m. on Saturday and I'm headed home today. I'm sad but it's time. I'm so happy that we made it work and even though we didn't get to go to Laguna like I'm so glad that we had this time together. Alexa, if you're watching this, thank you so much for having me in like the last days of you being at this house and like I've been coming to this house for what, three, four years now? So it's really cool to like close the chapter, you know? Say goodbye. We've had many memories in this house together and yeah, now it's time to head back home, go to work for like five days and then come back to Orange County and fly into the same airport I'm flying out of today in five days. Yes, five days I will be flying back into the same airport and we're going to Disneyland with our friends. So I will try to vlog some of that but in the meantime, let's head home. Our full circle, I started this vlog in the car. I am ending it in the car. Why is my air conditioning so loud? Also, why is it so hot? But we did it, we made it home. I am going to stop by in and out on the way home and get Drew and myself some lunch. It's about noon right now. It's so funny because like driving to California and flying take about the same amount of time but like if I drive, then I just have to be driving the whole time but if I fly, then I just get to like sit in a chair, you know? So it's kind of nice. I feel kind of bad that I didn't get a whole lot of footage with Alexa, but it literally was a work trip and like when we're sitting on the couch watching Love Island, I'm not really gonna like whip out the camera. It feels kind of unnatural. So hopefully you enjoyed the little bits that you got to see of her and then if you wanna see more, we have main channel videos coming but I have a pretty busy week ahead honestly and like vlogs may be few and far between. I will try to get them up as frequently as I can. Basically I'm going home. I'm gonna pick up lunch, head home. We're going to my mom's for a bit. Then we're going to our friend's house for a game night tonight. Then for basically the rest of the week I'm gonna be working like I mentioned. I have like five days until we leave again and I'm grateful. I am so grateful. I am so happy and privileged and fortunate and lucky to do this for my job. Thanks to you all who watch and support me. I mean, it means the world. So I get to just like have a few work days and then oh, okay. Go back to Disneyland, do my thing and I'm just so, so grateful. So I appreciate you all very much. I have to pay for parking now which is robbery at the airport. Let's just see how much it was. I was gone for two nights. Okay, 48 hours. Let's just take a look. Oh, $78. Perfect, love that. At least it's a business expense, am I right? Good morning, it is another day. I'm starting another clip of me in my pajamas again and another next day. This vlog has been over the course of like several days but I realize I forgot to end it off. So thank you so much for being here. I had so much fun with Alexa and even though our original plan to, you know, stay at a hotel in Laguna didn't work out, I'm so glad that we're able to go back in August and that we still were able to like get our videos filmed and everything. We had a great weekend, pretty chill. Well, actually not Saturday at all because like I said, we went to my mom's, we went to our friend's house. We hung out, it was so good to see them again. We're just so lucky with our friend group here at home. Like they're like our home base. We love them so much and we've all been friends for like over a decade now, most of us. So it's really special to be able to spend time with them. My voice is starting to go because I've been too social. If you've watched my vlogs for a while, you know. I am such an introvert that like if I am social for more than like a day or two, I start losing my voice. Like that's how physically exhausted I am. But I'm so grateful and I'm so happy. And now the next vlog that you're gonna see is gonna be really fun and exciting. I have a couple friends in town this week, one of which being Sierra. We're gonna be doing some karaoke tomorrow night. So I'm so excited to document that. So yeah, thank you for being here and for hanging out with me. It means the world. I was just going through and reading some of your comments on the last vlog. And you're just like the nicest, most supportive people ever. So I truly appreciate you and the fact that I get to do this as part of my job means more to me than you will ever, ever know. So I'm sending a lot of love to you and I'll see you in the next vlog. Bye.
