How I Met My Husband - DRAW MY LIFE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Hello :) today I'm doing a "draw my life" style of video.
DorkyEverAfter --- / @dorkyeverafter
I wanted it to have a lot of meaning to us personally, so I drew moments of my life that lead to me finding Tom ^__^
- I grew up isolated in Springfield Missouri, Tom grew up in Southampton England
- Figure Skating was a big part of my life, but also resulted in me having a difficult time making friends in school, and eventually mutism
- I joined orchestra because my family had a violin, and ended up with my friend group I remained with throughout my schooling.
- Shelby (a friend in my group) showed us Hank Green's video, and got us into UA-cam.
- UA-cam wasn't as mainstream back then, and I had slow internet, so if it weren't for Shelby I most likely would not be a youtuber now, I would have stayed on my medicine career path.
- I decided to do UA-cam and make art videos, and gained confidence in my art
- I went to Vidcon with Paulina, and discovered my obsession with Disney, also made plans for future Vidcons
- Couldn't afford the animation school I wanted to go to, so I took a year off from school
- Went to Vidcon 2013, where I met Evan Edinger and we became friends
- Took a month long trip to England with my brother Mark
- Evan lived in England and invited me to Loading to hang out
- Evan introduced me to Tom
- Tom did UA-cam himself and had an event called Summer in the City
- Tom asked me to be his girlfriend with a Pokemon plush, told me he loved me with a Pokemon card, and asked me to marry him with a Poké ball and Tangled themed engagement ring.
That's my little story ^______^ hope you enjoyed the video!!!

Hello, my name is Jamie, I do art, “how to” videos, crafts, fun silly things, and random stuff.
I love Disney, Studio Ghibli, Nintendo, Mario, visiting fun places, my chinchillas, Da Vinci, fine art, laughing at modern art, and Merlin
Also I’m married but still a massive child :’) and that’s okay

I'm not sure what makes me more happy. That he proposed with a poke ball or that you still have it.
*Then everything, changed when the fire nation attacked...*
Hahahaha yessss
Kitara was always my favorite.
Shadow Girl but when the world needed him most, he VANISHED
@@adampercabethfan3243 100 years passed and the new avatar was discovered
Water
Earth
Fire
Air
Long ago the four nations lived in harmony...Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Only the Avatar...master of all four elements could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished
A hundred years past, and my brother and i found the new Avatar, an Airbender named Aang
And altho he's Airbending is great, he has a lot to learn to save anyone
But i believe....
Ang can save the world
(Instruments starts playing)
I'm a perfectionist and...yeah it haunted me, and made this comment😂😂😂
Look! that Lemur!, its Airbending!🤣
One of the most important moments in my life was meeting my husband playing quidditch at the Harry Potter society at the University we went to. We were on opposing teams and I am nearly 3 years older than him. We've been together nearly 7 years and married over a year 😊
My fiancé and I have been together for 8 years and engaged for two months! If he hadn’t happened to be on campus the weekend I wanted to study on a particular couch, we would’ve never met. I fell asleep on him by accident and he kissed my forehead. We had only exchanged names before that happened. Turns out we used to play Runescape online together and called each other boyfriend and girlfriend in game about 6 years before that weekend happened. I would like to say it’s meant to be! 😄❤️
this is the cutest omg congrats!
el Thanks ☺️😁❤️
thata cute but he kissed your forehead when he didnt know you??
@@mimiquinn1256 lol
p sure that is fate
If I'm being completely honest I think that you and Tom are actually my favorite couple. I love the way you two operate, I like how you have a separate room even though you both sleep in his cause sometimes you need your own space, I like how you mentioned that you pay for your own things aside from the occasional treating one another. I think having a form of independence like that is really important to have in a relationship and I feel like it would help you remember how natural your relationship is when you aren't bound by as many details like the finances and living space. Love you guys and always wishing the best 💖
They remind me of a few couples I know, and its my favorite type of couple. Another youtube based couple, and one I know in real life. I crave a relationship like that, and seeing these people have these types of relationships made me realize they are real, and could be real, and are worth searching for.
Living like that honestly prevents a lot of arguments too! My partner and I figured out a budget for shared expenses (food, rent, etc) and put a set amount into a joint account to cover that and build a "rainy day" fund but the rest of our money we keep separate. We use that separate money for personal bills and treats for ourselves so one doesn't feel like the other is wasting their money. We sleep in the same room but have spots in our home that are just for us too. We can decorate however we want there and if we need alone time that's where we go. Some think it's weird but it means we almost never fight so we love it
Wouldn't be weird if one of them had way more money than the other ? Like one barely can pay for rent and food and the other doesn't struggle with money ? I think it would only work if both have the same income.
@@scheimaa172 atm I am in a relationship where I barey earn aynthing since I am still a student and my partner is not. He pays the rent and I contribute to groceries as much as I can or organize things for us. It is also clear that I will have a proper paying job at some point and it is important to me to pay for my own stuff and contribute to datenight whenever I can. :)
giving each other personal space is very impornant. Not every hobby has to be shared, every partner is still their own person. It is sad to see how many couples get this wrong, don't trust each other and essentially fight over one needing a bit of space from the other. They jump to conclusions of "oh you must be cheating" or "you don't love me". It is sad to see this all over social media these days. A good relationship is based on teamwork and trust, and not on overbearing controll and doing every little thing together.
Is it weird that I teared up when u showed all the pokemon themed stuff how he said he loves you and proposed to you? Omg
Thank goodness I wasn't the only one, lol. And I'm usually not even emotional like that! 😢😢😢😢😢
I'm glad to see I wasn't alone during that part! Lol 😭😂
TheMozaiku Same!! 😅
Lem
Awwwwwww. I loved when you said none of you had ever dated, and that's maybe the reason you picked eachother. That's like your meet-cute, and it's adorable!
I understand completely :) my husband and I were each other's first serious relationship, each other's first kiss. Flash forward 5 years later and we just got married and are planning our honeymoon in Disneyworld!
I am sooo happy for you guys I wish you the very best....^ω^
This is one of the sweetest Draw My Life stories on UA-cam, I’m glad you’re happy and send my love to Tom too 😊
I would seriously frame all of them. This has got to be my favourite Draw My Life, love love love your style Jamie
So I decided to play The Sims Online, which might have been the worst online game ever. I met a player named Spiral and eventually became a roommate in his Sim house. One of the ways to "win" at TSO was by having the most visitors in your house. Spiral had a real life friend who was a serious night owl and could keep our house open for visitors all night. Eventually his friend and I would stay up all night talking while our avatars made food and cleaned up after our visitors. 6 months later I moved to Texas and he and I have now been together for 15 years. 😁 It's so weird to think that if I had played a different game or made different friends in the game I would never have met my soul mate. Thanks for sharing your story. It was sappy, but in a really good way. 😍😍😍
Woww this is way too sweet ^ω^
One part of my story actually involves you. When I was first entering college, all I wanted to do was art. I wanted to work at Disney and started building my degree so that I could accomplish that dream. Unfortunately, my first hurdle in life was running out of funds so I could no longer attend school how I wanted. I wanted to continue so I decided to start working full time and save for a year so that I could pay for school all on my own. One year turned into 2, then 2 to 3, etc, ect. When I was entering my fourth year away from school, working 40 hour weeks at I job I hated, and I hadn’t done any art in all that time, I decided to watch my favorite UA-camr to make myself feel better. A wonderful amazing inspirational woman by the name of Carrie Hope Fletcher. Entering her name into the search bar I came across a video where a lovely softly spoken girl painted an amazing portrait of my favorite youtuber. I was so inspired by her art and after watching all her available videos, I decided to that I wanted to draw again. Your video pushed me to get off my behind and now I am in my second year of college working towards my dreams and am almost done with an AA in art.
I just wanted to say a huge Thank You Jamie as your art inspired this artist to continue on towards her dreams.
💜💜💜💜
🙏🏻
I'm not gonna lie, Jamie...I've been watching your videos from the very beginning. I found your channel through the painting you did of Dan, in 2012. I've been inspired by you, and felt so close to you, for six years and I don't think that I would be the person I am today, or have met MY fiance, without you.
"Tom was too good not to date" CUTEST THING EVER
I hardly ever comment on videos, but I have to say this made me feel so so happy. I've had a bit of a rough spell with a few bits and pieces and was feeling a little lonely - seeing your story come to life has cheered me up, I just hope something like this will come along sooner rather than later. Wishing you all the happiness in the world. Sam :)
Such an amazing story. ❤️
The story of how I met my husband is actually quite crazy. My mom is from South Africa but she moved to California at 18 years old and met my dad there. I was born and raised in California. When I was about 10, my mother attempted to get back in contact with her friends and family in South Africa. She was able to find the contact information to her best friend growing up. From that, her friend came to visit us in the states a couple years later. In 2010, my parents, brother, and I decided to visit South Africa. We made plans to meet with her best friend in Zimbabwe to stay at a holiday house her family had there. It was there that I met my mom’s childhood friend’s son, and my future husband. I was 16 at the time and developed a huge crush on him. Nothing became of my crush but when that family came to California to visit us in 2013, we both had feelings for one another and started dating. We were married in 2015 after dating long distance for 2 years and now I live in South Africa with my husband. Best decision I ever made. ❤️
I remember being in a horrible relationship with a guy that basically almost reduced me to an eating disorder. And one evening my friends, whom I barely saw anymore because of said relationship, convinced me to go to the movies with them. I reluctantly went along and I as was waiting for one of my closest friends to arrive, I was told that she would bring a fellow student, whom she had been friends with for a long time. That was May 9th, 2014. Today is January 28th, 2019, and as I'm writing this, that guy she brought along to the cinema is sitting next to me, at his desk in a flat that we share!
I just can't comprehend that one little decision, me going along even though I didn't want to, lead me to meet the love of my life. I don't know what made me say yes, but whatever it was, it changed my life! Life is funny sometimes. And it's so beautiful!
I know this is irrelevant, but CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE HOW AMAZING AT DRAWING SHE IS OML 😂💕
I met my husband at my sister's wedding when I was 16. He was the best man and I was the maid of honor. I remember walking down the aisle with him; little did I know that I'd be taking a similar stroll with him later on 😄
This year we'll be celebrating our 12 year anniversary! We are extremely close, our personalities mesh perfectly and I wouldn't change a thing 😁
I was shy and quiet growing up. After losing my best friend there was nothing in my life. Until one day. My mom was tired one day, and even though now she avidly walks, she wasn’t in the mood on this particular day, but she still went. As she was walking she saw one of my friends from school, she wasn’t really a friend but my mom thought she was. This “friend” was walking with another girl named Peyton. They started talking and my mom invited them inside for some water. Peyton, who turned out to be our neighbor was doing a summer camp at the local theater. Thinking this was a good idea to get me out of the house, my mom signed me up. Little did she know that this camp wouldn’t only make me more social, but it also became my greatest passion. I always think about that. If my mom hadn’t gone on a walk, I don’t think I’d ever find acting. I don’t think I’d ever be the person I am today. I don’t talk to Peyton anymore. But, if (a BIG if) I ever become famous and win an award, Peyton would be one of the first people I thanked.
This is so sweet 💕
BananaJamana I think about it a lot! I think it’s crazy how one little moment can change your life so I completely understand!
4:15 waiting for the cat to attacc Jamie 😂
Aaahhhh Jamie I love how you put both your art and your kinda “love story” with Tom together in one video that is extremely good! I can’t ever get enough of your content
I love I love it I love it!!!!! ❤️
I got teary at the end there. I just love how things work out one day and then you can look back and see all the little things that brought you to where you are. It's like magic!
hehehhe that loading bar
This is such a sweet story - thank you for sharing! So happy for you and Tom :)
Thank you so much for this Jamie ! I often get sad because no one's ever loved me, but it's stories like yours that remind me all isn't lost. ♥️
I'm in High school with a part time job and, by most of the world's standards, my childhood has ended. I couldn't disagree more. In a way, I feel like my childhood has only recently begun. When I was little, I wanted nothing more than to grow up, but, now that I have to an extent, I wish had embraced the advantages of childhood more. But instead of getting super upset, I just keep going. I wear bows in my hair and I've slept with the same bear since I was 2. I like wearing cute things because they make me happy and my purse is more like a stuffed cat. I've never dated, let alone had a boyfriend, but I've never really wanted to date. I have my crushes, just like any teenage girl, but the right guy will be OK with less dating and more just hanging out and getting to know each other. As for important moments in my life, One of those is discovering this channel. While I already did some painting, If I hadn't accidentally seen your Greatest Showman painting video, I know I wouldn't be painting nearly as much as I am and I would have never randomly decided to paint Hugh Jackman without ever painting a human before Life is made up of a million decisions that lead a billion different places, but God knows where he's sending you, so enjoy the ride and, If your a major daydreamer like me, enjoy the hundreds of little stories that make up the big picture that is you.
That was beautiful 🤩 😍
I agree with you 💯
so sweet~ I wish I could have a super cool backstory XD haha, I left university last year and I was hoping to start my career but a year has passed and I still haven't got anywhere, I got broken up with, keep getting let down with interviews, social media is going nowhere, im stressed, I have hardly any friends and i only go outside like once a week. I spend every waking hour inside working and working because I am adamant that I am going to make art my career. its the toughest period in my entire life but I won't give up even still. i just hope this next year will work out :)
Keep going, it will work out 💪
So my first job was working at Burger King. Logan was working at a movie theater that was a few stores down the plaza. One night he came in and we locked eyes. I instantly thought he was super cute. From that night on, he came to Burger King like every other day. We became very close friends. I didn't think he liked me more than a friend so I started to date someone else. That relationship lasted for six months and it was pretty bad. He was very emotionally abusive and every time something happened, Logan was there to make me feel better. After six months I broke up with this guy because I realized that I was in love with my best friend. I told Logan I was in love with him and he told me he felt the same way
That's so cute :') I hope you guys are still together, married and happy. Funny enough, Halloween is coming up next month! 😌
Happy wedding!!!its october
My husband and I met while we were both working at Disneyland! I loved how you mentioned that if those certain things in your life didn’t happen you two wouldn’t have met. And I so relate. Things didn’t go as planned/as I wanted leading up to the moment I met my husband but if it wasn’t for those things we would have never met, so I am so grateful for it all.
Haven’t watched your channel for a while you’re still so adorable may god keep you and your husband in good health and happiness
It makes me so happy to see the way both you and your husband adore each other. I met my husband in theater class in high school. He would wear the same outfit to school every day, and I just had to know why, so I started talking to him. I found out he was just doing a social experiment and he found out I had never seen Star Wars. He was so appalled, and he came over to my house every weekend to have me watch them all. After we finished Star Wars, we kept watching movies each weekend, and now we’ve been together for 7 years and married for 2. I’m so grateful for every second I’ve gotten to spend with him.
You're so pretty and your cat is so cute! 😁
I'm not a confident person myself so I relate to being shy but I am slowly becoming more confident 🙈
I'm crying this is the cutest thing I've seen in a while. It makes me happy seeing you so happy :)
The most significant moment that happened with my partner and I was my addiction to pizza haha,
I got pizza quite often at the store he worked and this one time he saved my details and found me online to ask me on a few dates. We're still together now 4 years later.
If it weren't for my pizza cravings I would never have met my best friend and the love of my life.
This is so cute! 😊💕
I loved this video, you're a really good storyteller. And you're so cute when you talk about your relationship. Cannot wait for more videos on dorky ever after!
I love learning more about your personal life! This was so cute!
I was broken , then i became best friends with a guy from my class who i've had in class since i was 10 y/o but we never really spoke until senior year. We became best friends then we fell for each other and started dating . I wanted him , he wanted me . Life didn't want us together😔💔 i ended up moving countries and he did too . Now we're 8000 miles away . It hurts so much 😔
I love you ♥️
I really love looking at how my friendship group has evolved through my years doing orchestra! I kind of moved between groups, and then we added people, and now it's finally *our* group rather than being a part of someone else's group, so that's really special to me!
Also you guys are so cute! 😍 x
I’ve loved your relationship since the beginning. I love how you guys interact with each other and are so dorky and cute. Thank you for sharing this with us!
This is such a cute story, I'm so glad you two are happy. :)
Love your cat by the way~
It is a fairy tale y'all live! I met my wife online and it was love at first sight it wasn't one of those moments where she took my breath away she actually brought life back into me, I became brighter. The moment that always sticks out the most with her was well there's two, when I was playing cod 2 zombies and she was sitting on the floor in front of me and I was so focused but I lean down and kissed her (we had just started dating) and when I was a nervous dork asking her to marry me in our living room and I tripped while doing so our song is "marry me" by Jason D. (Can't spell his last name lol)
It's derulo x
Turkey Drumsticks
And you ruined all the sincerity of this post with your single comment. Nice job
@@TheReal_ist great, I try and be nice and someone still gets offended.
Aww this was so adorable to watch!! So happy you found someone that treats you so well ♥️
Lovely story. Thank you so much for sharing! I wish you both all the happiness and dorkyness in the world!
I started watching you years before you and Tom met. I’m just super happy that you two met and are happy together! You and Tom are wonderful ❣️
I remember when you were still a small channel, filming in your parents house in the states, your room dedicated to harry potter and artwork. Its amazing to see how far you have come and how much you have grown. You were an inspiration to me back in jr high (~7 years ago), and still remain a role model to this day. If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt still be drawing
Oh my god when you said Hanks video was a big part of your life and UA-cam in general I started crying because after my bestfriend was diagnosed with brain cancer I found that same video and that helped me through him passing away a few years later. Vlogbrothers has been such a big part of my life...those videos are some of my last memories with him and I continue to watch and support them in any way possible. Lovely video Jamie, you and Tom are so sweet and incredibly adorable 💕
💜 awe I love this!
After many failed relationships that lasted to long, where I decided I was done trying. I met my now husband at a job we both worked at. It was instant sparks where we couldn’t stop watching each other, he’s my knight in shining armor that rescued me. We’ve been married for two years and are now expected our first child in December.
your drawings are all cute! you and tom are cute. everything about this video is cute!! so pure!! 😭❤
One or the best Draw My Life videos and the most creative ever!
High School sweethearts. Been with my husband 8 years and married 4 years. My best friend at the time had piles of notes on top of her desk from her boyfriend. She said I can only pick one note and read only one. I randomly just picked one like she said. It had my husband name in the note they were saying how they feel bad that he doesn't have a girlfriend. We looked at each other and was like perfect. My friend wanted to do a blind date I didn't like the idea so I asked another friend what he looked like. I went up to him, got his number, and we have been in love ever since.
Aweee you two are amazing and so cute, it's so great how friends can introduce you to the most important people ^^❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe I actually got to watch all this happen in real time. I remember subscribing after you painted Phil and now we're here. Has it been that long already? I am so glad to have watched you grow over the years and see how happy you are with Tom. I wish you more love and more magical moments.
This is such a great video Jamie. I wish you both a blissful married life
You have such an amazing story Jamie! I really loved how you talked about him, and how you looked when you thought about him 😍 Bless you twoooo
I freaking love this so much! You guys are so adorable!
Trust you to do the cutest and amazing draw my Life on UA-cam!! Loved every second of this xx
I loved seeing an artist do this- so well done!
Aw I love this video! Great job Jamie!! 😄
People like you on UA-cam make me so happy :-) Sweet and genuine and all-around wholesome. I could go on, but it'd take me days to describe how amazing and lovely you both are. Thank you for consistently great content from the bottom of our (your subscribers') hearts.
this is so cuuuuute! I'm literally crying thanks for sharing :)
When a video just makes you smile 😊 love the channel and all your work!!!!
This made my heart so warm!!! Your love story is so cute
I love the portraits so much: Hank, cactus you and cactus Evan, then you and Tom!!
I'm so glad I found your channel
So much happiness here
This is such a sweet story!!! One true pair right here!
Yehey! Finally a draw my life vid from my favorite artist!♡♡
This is so inspiring! I love this so much and it makes me feel creative and I'm so happy you guys met each other
I just watched this. Your story brought tears to my eyes....very cute. I'm happy for you.
I’m smiling throughout this entire video especially when Jamie start talking about Tom ☺️
this is one of the best draw my ... that i've seen! your drawing completely blew me away, as always!
OMG!! :3 this is the video I didn’t realise I was waiting for
This video is too adorable! ^_^ subscribed!
It's funny because one of the most important parts of my life was really simple and I didn't even really think anything of it at the time. Me and my friend (My only friend at the time) were walking around the gym during 6th grade. My friend was talking about Dragon Ball Z and I was nodding along and smiling. Then all of a sudden I hear someone run up and say "Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT DRAGON BALL Z" and continued to walk and talk with my friend. I remember thinking she was trying to steal my only friend and not liking her at all because she was a friend-stealer Fast forward to where my only friend moves away and I start talking to the newer girl more. Fast forward again to 4 years later best friends, inseparable, she helps with my constant nightmares and anxiety(and she doesn't even know how much she helps) I have a best friend who means the world to me yet the only reason I met her was my other friend randomly talking about Dragon Ball Z
Funny how life works ☺️
It’s a kind reminder to embrace your interests openly. You never know who is waiting to find someone just like you
This is one of my favorite videos you've made
What a beautiful love story. I can relate to being incredibly shy at school, I was too! But it is nice when you find like-minded supportive friends!
Very beautiful! I love your story!
Your illustrations are so cute! :D
I think his so happy to have an awesome artist live with him 😁🙆.... # love you painting
The stress I feel while doing lab preparation (at the moment) is no match for the happiness I feel when I watch your videos. ^_^
You are simply wonderful !
I think it's so clear that you two are soulmates and were made for each other. ❤
"I'm a book", was brilliant. Lol. Cute touch!!
Love this video -- images with the story
This is so unbelievably adorable!
I’ve been watching Evan’s videos for a while now, but only found your channel yesterday?! I had no idea!
I love the random cat inserts every few videos 😂😍
I didn't know you did figure skating! That's awesome!
Omg y’all are the sweetest!❤️😍
I loved watching this video ❤️ I think your so inspirational and talented 🎨
This love story is the most precious one ever! I love you both so much! ❤️😊
Loooooove this and your story! I also get scared thinking about all the “what ifs” surrounding meeting my husband. You are not alone in that. It’s silly to say, but I get anxious sometimes just thinking about what if I hadn’t gone here or done this at this moment in time? I wouldn’t have met my husband.
That exact same Hank Green video (assuming you're talking about Accio Deathly Hallows) was a turning point in my life too. I trace a lot of things back to that video.
I think that if I hadn't seen that video I wouldn't have found the nerdfighter and youtube communities that taught my to embrace my nerdy passions. Learning the value of prioritising my own interests over following the crowd at a young age absolutely shaped me, and I think its the reason why I'm ultimately following my dreams & passions into a career in film/the arts.
Awww!!! This is so cute!! I've been watching your videos for a while and I loved hearing this lovely story! ^.^
Probs the most important thing for me, was when my friends showed my Stampy when I was 8, and then he and Sqaishey where the best role models I could have, I probs wouldn’t be as kind, or fun-loving (I can be very serious by nature), or creative - and they’re still a great inspiration to me.
I cried when I saw the pokemon card - it's so wonderful and sweet and personal. What a lovely story you have
Very nice animated and illustrated story. Thanks for sharing your story.
this is the cutest thing in the entire world! you and tom are so perfect together💕
Aw my heart ❤️ I’m so happy for you both
Such an adorable story! I love you and Tom, you two are my OTP!
