 hey guys it is Wednesday the 18th of July and I really you know I've done a lot of insta stories since I've been home but I haven't done a lot of vlogging since I've been home and I my favorite videos of vlogs and I know that for a lot of people they really don't like vlogs all that much but my favorite type of videos that I watch more like if I have a choice of watching someone's you to review or their blog I usually go to their blog but that's just me so but you know so I haven't done a whole lot of vlogging and I think that's probably just so pooped from our vacation it was like it was so super super busy as you know if you've watched me in my blogs or the video so we came home I went right into teaching Verona University and that kept me busy for the entire week if I have two more days of Verona U and then Verona U is done so I have a graduating class of like 38 new agents and like so it's it's always a bittersweet on graduation day because I'm gonna give them their wings I mean I watch them fly they'll let them loose and I'm gonna miss them seeing them every day in class but anyways hey that's the nature of my teaching job so today yesterday friends of ours came up from Delaware ball Delaware Washington DC area and they've been camping in our yard they have a huge motorhome they come up every year you've probably seen some of them if you watched my earlier vlogs you've probably seen them in some of my clips anyways we met them years ago up in Bar Harbor Maine I think we've probably about 2002 maybe 2001 that we first met them so for the last gosh I don't know maybe eight years ten years they've been coming here before they go to Bar Harbor spending a couple of days here just to stay off the road to stock up on tax-free stuff because New Hampshire's tax free tax-free and then they're gonna Johnny and journey Johnny they're gonna journey north to Bar Harbor and we won't see them until August when we go up to Bar Harbor where then we'll have ten days up there for our rest vacation as I'd like to call it so tonight we're going out to dinner we're gonna go over to the beach and we're going to a local place that the locals really like which I much prefer to have you know to have dinner in in local places because I think the locals know better you know than the tourists so we're gonna meet other friends that we camp with Mike and Judy and you've probably seen them in various video clips and we're gonna have a relaxing dinner tonight I don't know if I'm gonna show any of it but then they're gonna leave tomorrow and Jay and I are heading I'm gonna be working out of Quartzmouth tomorrow with Jay we're doing class nine in one of our pre-licensing schools and then other than that I don't know you know I mean other than I don't know what the weekend's gonna bring I have no idea what's gonna happen so hi guys I'm looking around the front front be I'm home from work I worked all day well that's not new I always work all day but it was I was just like immersed in a project and I I actually did get a lot accomplished but anyways so I came home and and it is so hot and muggy here it's unbelievable and I just said well you know I'm gonna I'm gonna start a little bit of a vlog because I really haven't haven't vlogged other than the cop vlog I did but I really haven't vlogged since we've come home from Canada so I'm out in the motorhome and I'm out here because I need to make sure everything is secured for transport because Jay's taking this big boy in first thing tomorrow morning to get new tires so new shoes on a rig like this are pretty pretty pretty expensive but I will tell you that you know even if we weren't going to Barhaba which is about five and a half hours drive time in the motorhome we'd still need new tires these tires I think are like I don't know they might be like 12 years old or something and while they physically look good you just never know so they don't recommend that you go a real long time on on tires so we're biting the bullet getting new shoes for this baby tomorrow and I'm oh my he has a mess and and I'm going to check out the refrigerator make sure nothing is loose in there because when he pulls out you don't want things flying all over the place so that's what I'm gonna do and tomorrow I'm in being Portsmouth and I'm not sure I'm gonna go out at all but tomorrow night I'm going out on a boat ride so that ought to be fun and I'm sure I will film a little bit of that I think so yeah hey guys happy Tuesday last night in the motorhome I think I'd mention that we I was gonna be in Portsmouth today and I was going to go out on a boat ride tonight with the Portsmouth office crew so I'm really excited I just arrived in Portsmouth I've just put my hair because I'm going out on the boat you know it's like I wanted to add one of my fake buns because I really like the volume it gives me but I just put my hair up in my little Invisibobby and I do have a clip so I might do a French twist and then put it all under the clip later on depending on how the day goes but I wanted to keep it simple because it can be windy on the river so yeah so I just arrived in Portsmouth had a smooth ride finished my breakfast drink on the way here have a cup of coffee and I'm ready to go in and tackle a couple of work projects and if I go for a walk midday I might I might do that it all depends on how muggy it is but if I go for a walk midday I'm gonna go down to Prescott Park and maybe take a couple of little video clips of that area it's really nice down there and walking so I spilled coffee all over my top and I'll show you all sort of picture in here I tried to wash it out we're going on the boat ride tonight it is like really muggy and I am hot but if my top doesn't dry by the time I get back to the office I might have to do a detour and the detour might involve a quick place to buy a top because it was saturated what happened is I I rinsed out the coffee stain and when it dried it had like all the white water stain in front of it look ridiculous that's pretty gorgeous absolutely gorgeous and if you've seen any of my other vlogs you've seen these trees this park in different seasons when these Japanese crap apple trees are in bloom and when the blooms fall it just looks like there's snow all over the place it's like really really really amazing so pretty what if all what happens yeah so I looked in a couple of shops on my walk down here I didn't see anything I liked and I didn't see anything I wanted to pay the money for downtown Portsmouth the shops are like those you know exclusive boutiquey places so tonight is the boat ride and it like I said is hot muggy and I'm hoping the river and the ocean is calm because we're going out on the heritage and I'm not too sure how far out we're gonna go right now there's some yoga in the park going on yoga in the park so hopefully you get to I know I'm probably just nothing but a blob but hopefully you get to see a little bit of why I love working out of I really do what's that has a number of really really awesome deck restaurants as they're called there's just several of them and they line the harbor and just really pretty places to eat to have a coffee to just enjoy watching the river and the scenery and and all of that and I decided I was gonna walk between them so the back way to get back to the office and when you come out to where I'm gonna turn the corner here this is sort of like the open deck area and you can see the tugboats and the harbor and the bridge to Maine a little bit over there it's just really pretty here so we we arrived a little early so the boat isn't even here yet for our our cruise they're already in the bar and here we are now in the harbor still around you have sure off to our right Newcastle Island to your toilet also to our left to see the Whiteworth Marine but the health to the left of the Whiteworth by the sea hotel my name you know the date I'll stick it into the in the video but but yeah it's Friday I'm heading I'm heading to work and yesterday Thursday I stopped at my mom and dad's house after work my sister was there my two of my three nieces were there and we just had a great visit so I'm gonna insert a couple of clips because my niece Kayla who who is pregnant which is really awesome but she is the mom she's the she lost her her baby Gus and you've seen Gus in my previous videos Gus was he was just an awesome awesome awesome French bulldog and he was the star of many of my videos anyways Kayla everyone in the family has really mourned Gus big time and especially Kayla and her husband Chris you know he was there for a baby and so they got another little French bulldog and his name is captain and in these clips that I'm going to insert right now you can see captain out in the yard you get to see he's just absolutely beautiful he's black he is so mellow he's so well behaved and Kayla is so happy so we got we had a really awesome visit my mom my dad you can see in this picture my dad sitting in the chair surrounded by us all status quo on my dad you know he's he's he's doing he's doing let's put it that way next week he has some more tests so but he's doing well and so we just had a great we had a great visit and so that kind of really topped my week off today this afternoon in London Dairy we're gonna have dog days which is sort of like a summer event that the London Dairy office has all the time and it's sort of head dog hamburgers whatever all the stuff that will ruin my diet so I'm making sure that I'm gonna try to avoid it all I may insert clips but I may not it all really depends but I am definitely going to end the vlog here because I think between all the clips I've added it's probably a little long and I don't have I'm not gonna have an exciting weekend I'm gonna be working all weekend Saturday all day and Sunday is gonna be really really hectic and we're preparing to to go to Bar Harbor so the next part of my vlog probably will be a little bit of Bar Harbor I would imagine and we'll see and in Bar Harbor we have horrible horrible horrible internet horrible internet I usually can't upload while I'm there so I'm gonna try this coming week to shoot a couple of videos I have sub updates that I want to do and some things that I want to talk about but I will probably record them and then stagger them to be you know uploaded you know maybe during the time that I'm gone etc so that I'll have some you know you can see a little bit of me I guess but that's that's the plan I may not be able to respond much because of the internet in the Wi-Fi in the park up in Bar Harbor Bar Harbor is home of a Katie and National Park if you've never been to Bar Harbor it's absolutely gorgeous I've got a number of different videos I have a playlist on you know Bar Harbor and Booth Bay Harbor places I like to visit a lot and it's just absolutely beautiful but we will be up there for 10 days of relaxation so during that timeframe once we leave here and until we get back my you know my response might be a little bit slow because of the Wi-Fi connection all of that stuff you know I won't have much control over it when we leave here the first day we because it's a five and a half hour ride J UG leaves early in the morning and we go to a place in Palomai remain where we stay on a campground golf resort yeah and J loves to golf so that whole next day he'll be golfing his brains out and I might be just bedging and reading and just relaxing and then on the Saturday we end up going into Bar Harbor because our reservation is from you know Saturday to a week and a half later we leave on not the following Tuesday but the Tuesday afterwards so we're in Bar Harbor for a good amount of time we meet up with friends we just have the most amazing amazing time so if any of you are in the Bar Harbor main area and you want to come visit you want to connect have a little mini meet up I think that'd be kind of cool let me know but that is our attentive plan and all of next week I'm going to be hopefully shooting some videos I'll probably have another video go be posted next week anyways but I'm going to try to really pre-shoot pre-edit upload while I have good strong Wi-Fi so that there'll be a couple of videos while I'm gone and then it might be confusing because if I can you know upload little live clips I will most likely the easiest live clips or the easiest in the moment will probably be Instagram because that's you know that's usually pretty easy 15 second clips no longer so that should be okay so anyways that's it I'm going to sign off now thank you all so much for your support thank you all so much for your awesome comments your prayers my dad still very very needed very very needed and just for always being there so thanks much guys I will talk to you all later
