You are a living example of how hard work, faith in God and in yourself can lead to great things. Congratulations to your family and you.
Yep! I love you showed the fam praying together before the meal. We don’t do that as often as we should!
She's made bank off of victims & horrific crime...not much to be proud of.
@@crystalclear111but here you are supporting the channel, you’re helping her
This made me cry. This made me remember why I got sober and why I’ll never relapse . I got shit to do! This is so inspiring .
Congratulations on your sobriety!! I have been sober for 2 years and I never knew I could be this happy! I am one semester away from a degree in cyber security, improved my physical and mental health and, most importantly, my relationships with my family. WE GOT SHIT TO DO!! Much love to you!
Wow! Christina in less than 10 years you have moved all the way in the American Dream. I am happy for you . Remember very few make it
Christina you are a true example of someone coming from childhood trauma, to prison, to..THIS! You came up out your troubles in young adulthood, worked hard, saved your money and invested in your gorgeous home. you're an inspiration babes!
Have you giving any thought of wallpaper, Not your normal kind but a “grass” wallpaper its gorgeous !!! Mine is like a medium dark oatmeal Color 😊 and it’s so easy to hang I did the whole east wing wall in it. Also in my walk in pantry I use antique tins, So if I have crackers I have a antique tin. Also I use large or medium mason jars But my pantry is way smaller then yours,
Another thing I did was to stretch an antique quilt that my great Nona brought from Ireland and its behind our bed❤ 0:03 😊
03 you have been very smart by not rushing and buying stuff you are making your house you’re home ❤
Agree, that’s a gorgeous strong and humble woman, may the Lord God bless her.
No other UA-camr that I have been following deserves their happily ever after more than you Christina. I love your light and kindness and this made me cry happy tears. THIS IS IT!!! Thanks for taking us along on this journey and thank you for inspiring me to go back to college. Your hardworking climb to the top is admirable ❤ congratulations 🎉
Bravo, it's great that you're going back to college, I'm even a little jealous of you, because I won't finish mine for health reasons. However, I wish you good luck and perseverance. Remember that you are the best🤞
I appreciate Christine for her generosity, transparency, and humble lifestyle. Many are very excessive and it is not relatable for me.
This is the true example of what a mustard seed can do. And how humble and grateful you are says a million words! It's so beautiful!
I love how nice people are being in the comments. Some people get envious, jealous, etc. But every comment I've seen has just said how much you deserve it and how far you've come from what happened when you were younger. & the hardwork you've put in. Definitely inspiring & just so happy for you and your family 🩵
I love that she didn't just show the house and she showed the family time in it. Just love watching people blossom when they truly deserve it! I don't even know this woman but I'm so proud of how far she's came! Truly inspiring!
You came from humble beginnings and now look where you are. You deserve all of this and I’m so happy for you and your beautiful family❤❤
You have created a beautiful home and you deserve every happiness in your lives! 🫶🏽
You are THE ULTIMATE example for second chance for people who don’t play victims of life, just work hard, change for the better, and have faith!
If someone asked me what flower you'd be, I'd say a pink rose! You bloom SO MANY TIMES, you're so forgiving with life's lessons and you grow throw every season! I'm so so so proud of you! I love your house that YOU made a home!
You are a beautiful example of “ Walk by faith, not by sight”. You truly gave your life to the Lord and trusted that He would guide you. Enjoy your blessings… we can see that you’re very grateful.
Goosebumps. I keep thinking about that small girl, locked in the bathroom. Imnotcryingimnotcrying. I am so happy for you beautiful. You are so inspiring. ❤ You deserve it all.
I think about that little girl often. I can’t believe what she’s been through & look where she is now. So proud!
I never comment on videos. But I just can’t help myself. I’m in awe of the way you’ve turned your life around. The way you have devoted your life to helping and inspiring others and taking care of those closest to you is so admirable. No one believe that beautiful house and land life y’all’s family. God makes no mistake and what a full circle moment to see how God’s plan has unfolded for you and your beautiful family. Truly truly so proud of you. ❤❤❤
SHE SAID ABSOLUTELY NO SHOES IN MY HOUSE AND YA GOT NO EXCUSE!!!!! And I love that lol very good 👏👏👏👏
Seeing Jayden help with building, his room, cooking, etc. Is so cool to see. A lot of kids his age would straight up tell their parents “no, I don't wanna help” and continue playing video games or scroll on their phones 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Great parenting makes great people and Jayden is awesome! 👏
The fact that you went from prison to this 👏 you’re killing it! It’s beautiful.
My son would go nuts for Jadens ceiling. Everything is gorgeous!
Love it! I think a family forever home/ generational home is made by family members putting their touches on it- like how the men built the butlers pantry. So special
Love how Jayden helped with the building. Jayden will appreciate the home so much more because he put work into it.
I’m literally in tears. This is what you and your husband worked so hard for. Y’all did it!!!!! I’m so beyond happy for you and your family. Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you. 🥰
Okay, so my favorite room is the outdoor porch with the tongue and groove ceiling and the antler light fixture! I could sit out there 24/7! Beautiful!
Christina, you deserve all this, and so much more. A lot of people are able to buy a big house, on a large piece of land. But only some people have this warmth and joy in them, that they are able to bring two families together in such a way as you have succeeded. Your kindness, your huge heart and your hard work simply connects people. You have managed to make your dream become your best deserved life.
You are living the dream!!! The land, the chickens, growing food from seeds, the antiques and SOLAR!!! This is what I literally fantasize about! Nobody is more deserving and I'm so so happy for you!!! For now get plants, get some throws and throw pillows, you can get a couch cover too, but don't rush decorating or you will end up changing it later, everything will all come together in time.
Oh I'm sure you know this but get a battery back up for the solar so you can be self reliant if needed!!! 💜🧡💛
6:10 very sweet and humbling to see other people praying for their meals. I love that
Congrats! Love the three generations of men working together. Your hard work and determination shows in your new home.
This is why people that do interviews ask the question, "what are your goals"? Goals and future plans keeps a person humble and driven. You and your family have done amazing things and grown so powerful. God bless you, each and everyone, even grandma & grandpa😊 😊 😊😊
Jayden is such a beautiful kid with good manners
Christina, I am old enough to be your mother and I have such love for you and respect for the woman you have become. Your enthusiastic joy for life and appreciation for all the blessings in your life are an inspiration to those of us who have had the opportunity to follow you on your journey. I am so happy for you and your family to be able to build a beautiful forever home. You have done such an amazing job in designing and choosing all the accents that reflect your lifestyle and taste. I have had seven homes over the years: custom built, total renovations, and even coming in halfway during a home build. Every home has its own personality, lighting, and layout. I am glad you are taking your time to make final decorating choices; you will get the “feel” for how you want your space to look and function. You did ask about your great room wall. A suggestion would be to paint the entire wall to keep the eye flowing open to the beautiful entry, versus stopping at the hallway opening; could look like an abrupt stop to the eye. You could go with one of the shades in your beautiful brick dining room arch. That color could create an open visual flow of your great room, dining room, and entry. Your light couches would be fine. Built-in open bookcases/shelving on both sides of the tv wall (either stained or painted lighter or darker than the painted long wall into the entry) could be a nice wall space utilization and focal point in that room. Your beautiful antique pipe on a stand and compass etc could be showcased, along with books, photos, etc., so beautifully on the bookcases/shelves. Your water carrier might be able to be hung on the wall, by the breakfast room door, behind where you were standing in the video. That might look nice close to your kitchen. The washboard will be perfect in your laundry room. You may be able to find a “rug beater” in an antique shop to hang in there too. Can you tell I like to showcase all my antiques, as well ? Just suggestions. These suggestions may give you even better ideas ! Most importantly, please enjoy decorating your house YOUR way; it will be a beautiful reflection of you, your family, and the life you love. May your home always be blessed with Light and Love !
Cyndy… I could not have said it better!!!!! ALL OF YOUR PLACEMENT SUGGESTIONS ARE SPOT ON!!!!! I agree NOT TO CUT THE PAINTED WALL AT THE DOOR. OMG I THINK THAT FLOOR TO CEILING BOOKSHELVES WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!! DO DISPLAY ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE BOOKS AND COLLECTABLES!!! THEY CAN BUILD THE SHELVES AROUND THE TELEVISION!!! WHAT A SHOW STOPPER THAT WOULD BE. THE RANDALL MEN CAN PULL THIS ONE OFF!!!!!😀😀😇
Omg the second hand stores are the best!!! I love old trinkets! One person's trash is literally another person treasure!!❤
Y'all deserve this! Perfect examples of turning your life around and working hard for what y'all want in life. Congratulations!
🎉🍾🥂
Christina you should totally build an entertainment center for your living room! A section that show cases the tv, but also some shelves where you can hide away all the electronics and add some decor. You could make it a fun color so you don’t have to paint the whole wall. Would give it the depth it needs! Just an idea 😊 beautiful home, so so happy for you!
Girl. Your story of overcoming and not just living but THRIVING is what the American dream is all about. Congratulations and God’s blessings!
Also, you have beautiful taste in decor.
Your home, property and family are beautiful! You all worked hard and you made it! Great job! I love that you bought chairs for the grandmothers and are building a home on your property for family. Great job! Your porch is AMAZING!
Congratulations to you and your family. I remember years ago when you told us that the tiny mustard seed of hope is what help changed you. That statement opened my eyes and ears. Stay Blessed!
Wow Jayden is getting so big! He's such a little man now 🥰
Christina, on your main channel, I remember when you hit 10,000 subscribers and my boyfriend and I were SO excited and happy for you. We are genuinely so proud of you for all you have accomplished for your family ❤ you should be so proud ❤️
I love watching your families home journey - having Jaden help with all of the building is so how it should be 🌟
Ngl, this made me emotional. Even though we don't know you personally, I just wholeheartedly feel you're one of the good ones and deserve this so very much. Not many people are buying specific furniture solely for their families' comfort when they visit. Those 2 chairs show your good heart, amongst other things.
Love love love. That guest bathroom shower is too beautiful to hide behind a curtain, I would install a glass door with a black frame.
Yes, there is nothing more interesting than when you are visiting a friend, everyone sees you showering behind the glass, because it is aesthetically more satisfying. The curtain could protect me from view, it's not very aesthetic. 😂
If anyone deserves happiness like this, it's you girl!!!
OMG!!! The dining room is so luxurious! You have fabulous taste Christina! I am so happy for you!!!
GRANDMA CHRISTINA IM SO DAMN PROUD OF YOU GIRL ITS STUNNING 😭😭😭❤️
As a designer, it’s all about You! A good designer will give you ideas based on your likes, and quietly nudge you in the right direction to make fabulous choices! ❤
AHHHHHH I love it! Love that Jaden was able to learn with his dad and Grandpa, love the Grandma chairs! So happy for all the memories you will make there.
aww...I love all the DIY additions added
Enjoy your new home sending blessings and thanks for sharing
I’m so glad your back posting on this channel. I miss seeing your video. I’m so proud of the progress you’ve made so far. You deserve nothing but the best.
Paint the whole wall, don’t stop at door! There is a beautiful color … Benjamin Moore, historical color, Grant Beige. Try it, or something similar! You can’t go wrong!!!❤ The color changes color in light and dark, but looks really good! Grab a few fun pillows with print, throw blankets! Perfect! Also, I believe the area rug should be larger, it will make a huge, huge difference! Edges of furniture should touch rug and don’t be afraid to pull furniture off of hugging the walls! ❤
I'm so proud of you! Well deserved!! Thank you for sharing with us
Amazing! So happy for you guys!
Congratulations!!! What a wonderful inspiration. My mom died when I was 24. I thought I had everything together living on my own then that happened and everything fell apart. Ended up reuniting with an old flame at 29 and now him and I are moving out into our first apartment together at 32 and 37. It’s never too late to make your dreams come true.
My favorite part of this tour ( i loved every second of the tour btw,) was your exuding happy self, the moment you showed us the compass " and it has a cross on it, and yeah, Jesus is My compass." ❤
Christina..... yalls home is so very beautiful. The love and memories you have made so far is just the beginning of SO MANY BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES. ❤
Very happy for you and your family!
So very happy for you! Congratulations on completing your forever home. It’s absolutely beautiful.
The house is a solid representation of what letting go and letting God can look like.
What a blessing. 🙌🏻
Big congrats for now and moving forward
🙏🇦🇺💙
Girl, I don’t know you but I have watched your videos for a couple of years now and I know your story. I couldn’t be more happy for you. You give others that might have gone down your same early path some hope. You are living the American dream. Btw your new home and property are absolutely stunning, congratulations!
Thank you for sharing your new beautiful, forever, family home and property! Congratulations, well deserved ❤.
I am so happy for you/yall. You look so happy. It’s beautiful! Congrats!!
I’m so freaking proud of you Christina! I’m like everyone crying happy tears seeing your mustard seed grow and thrive. ❤❤❤ I can’t wait for more home vlogs!
How cool on that note from the water neck carrier! My 7th Great Grandfather is Hall and lived in TN in the 1700s…how cool
I am just so happy for you and your family. Its all so sweet and loving!
Beautiful home! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I so love that you chose a round dining table, it really woks well to tie in and highlight those gorgeous brick archways ♥️
I love when you’re running and flying the kite. House is totally beautiful! ❤️
Congratulations on your beautiful home. It is absolutely beautiful. I wish you all many happy years in your forever home.
Thank you for sharing, house is lovely!
Wonderful things have come to you because you radiate kindness and goodness. This isn't to say that it dicn't require a lot of planning, sacrifice, and hard work. It is a joy to see your love for your family. Your house is a dream come true! xoxo
Girl once you remember to use that pot filler you will wonder how you ever lived without it!! I thought it was so extra when we put one in, but now I use it constantly! Love your home and how you decorate with such intention and personal taste. Your family is precious. ❤
Loved the tour. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.❤❤❤
It’s gorgeous! I’m so happy for you and your family! 🙏💜
So beautiful 😍. Not just a house, but a true HOME ❤!! ENJOY all the special moments to come. Thank you for inviting us in.
From cold jailhouse walls to this…i am so so so proud of you, gramma Christina ❤
Oh wow I missed that part, the oldest son had a baby??!! Awweewee
Love love your new home and your decorating style!! Beautiful. ❤ May God continue to bless you and your family.
I'm so excited and genuinely happy for you and your family ! You all deserve it so much, Congratulations on your beautiful home !
I don't know why this is making me cry, I'm so happy for you and your family!!!
Yeah, I teared up too, lol! Christina was my 2nd sub when I first started liking UA-cam YEARS AGO! And I feel like ik her, I've watched her change, in a good way on different levels, and her family do great things, and this was like the icing on the cake! 🎉 So well deserved! And the house is gorgeous! ❤💯✔ So, I agree! I'm just extra when I'm talking and typing 😂😂😂
You did exactly what I wanted to do with my pantry. Maybe one day. I have a suggestion for your TV wall. Why not do built-in bookshelves and your TV in the middle of them
Very beautiful, you show us all anything is possible, just love watching you and your family.
Beautiful home. Thanks for sharing!!
What a beautiful home. I love that it’s not super “trendy”. Your choices are timeless.
Such a beautiful home. Your hardwork and sacrifice paid off and its exciting to watch it all happen. That pic of you and Jaden at the end is precious. He is growing up so fast.
Ive literally never been so happy to watch someone’s home tour. I love your home. I love how happy y’all are. I just love it all. This honestly put me in a good mood. Thank you.
Everything is very beautiful as you! God bless you and your family!
I can't quit...lol! The "Randall Ranch"!!! The dining room "masterpiece"...the chandlers...the back porch...OMG+💞...THANK Y'ALL for sharing!🙏✌
There’s nobody on UA-cam more deserving❤️‼️
Congratulations. It’s absolutely beautiful. Hard work, faith, and love sure pays off.
I love your place and I'm so happy for you all!
The smell of a cigar, smoked by a True Gentleman..... is truly an undesirable e smell ❤ I grew up w that and totally miss it now at 48 yrs old
This video gave me chills, those magical anticipation chills. I can’t wait to have the home of my dreams and create a family.
Love what you've done w this place.🥰
Sending you more love and joy.,🙏
Your house is so beautiful! So happy for you and your family. Congratulations!! 💕
Dear Christina, A beautiful home for a beautiful family. May you, your husband, Jayden , U S Airman Jordan and your families be blessed now and forever. 🌺💕🌸❤️🌹❣️🍀🦋
I love the foot basket!!! We don’t wear shoes inside either, but some people don’t want to take their shoes off and it makes me really uncomfortable but I want them to feel safe and welcome so I don’t push it. I absolutely love this idea! Everyone will be happy!!!
So exciting!! Thank you for sharing your life with us! Congratulations 🎊🎈
Beautiful! God bless you and your new home
I love seeing Christina’s face light up & that smile talking about her antique’s ❤
Never felt so darn happy for someone. Having listened, and cried, maaaaany times over your stories in the early days, would I have equated 'then to now'. I'm quite overwhelmed, teary (again!) and just so happy and, I think, proud, at what you've achieved Christina!! What a role model for your kids. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Love this!! So happy for you guys. Blessed life 🙏❤
Don’t be so hard on yourself about not having everything perfect. As my grandma would say; “you have your whole life to make it what you want.” Congratulations!! As I am also someone who was also on the wrong side of things and am growing up to being a boss lady, you inspire me!!! 🎉🎉
You are a perfect example of how your past doesn’t dictate your future.
Beautiful home! Wish I were your neighbor!
Amen 🙏🙌
