Brit...every family has some sort of dysfunctionality, don't sweat it....just do you, do what you're comfortable with and what makes you happy, let others worry about themselves. We can not satisfy everyone!!! The Lord will not let you endure what you cannot handle...For HE says, cast your cares upon ME!!! Merry Christmas you two🥰🎄
Early video? What day? Don't want to miss it. Also take care of yourself, be careful, the people not masking thing is scary. God bless you Merry Christmas.
You two are so kind and lovely. I love seeing you hand out the Blessing Bags. It fills my heart with joy each time I do, as well. So many folks in need pre-Covid and now in 2020, so many more in need. Enjoy your Winter with your family. XO
Another lovely vlog! Glorious scenary and the love you two have for each other, definately a balm for the soul. My love and I are each other's soulmate, listening ear, compassion source and strength. Its important for us to remember that each sadness or hurt we share, has a consequence on the listener and its important to not deny those consequences since often they are not positive ones. Because we work hard at always being honest with each other, without cruelty or thoughtlessness, we can own our own hurt and that of the other and it makes us stronger. 28 years in only a few months.... clearly something works.
Hi...Recliner Babe and Handsome Prince here in Washington. First.....the music chosen as you leave a good nights rest...is just so perfect I had to back it up twice to enjoy. You are truely masters at editing and choosing appropriate music. As to family....yeah, we understand the bittersweet factors in a visit. Our family is spread from California to Florida....no chance we will get to see them this year.....at 88 years old one wonders if.......no, never mind....negative thoughts aren't helpful....to anyone. Just be grateful we have each other for whatever time is alloted us. I love that you both have what we have. It's rare and magical. Brittany....you and I share a challenged mind and body....Drew ...you and H/P share what it takes to keep us whole. That said....we girls bring you guys the special love you need. Win and Win. That's why it works so well. Happiest Holidays to all.
You are so right - it is rare and magical - and while we bring them the special love they need, they provide us with the stability and comfort to pull through on our toughest days... you Recliner Babe and H/P will forever be one of our biggest inspirations. We love you both and hope you can feel all the warmth from your loved ones coming at you in all directions this Holiday ❤️💚🙏💚❤️
It's funny, I haven't hugged my Mom in 10 mos. I think we all miss the intimacy of our loved ones. My Mom is 81, I talk to her every day, I shop for her, drop off groceries for her, but haven't been within 6 ft of her. It's not just travelers who feel distant from family.
It warms my heart seeing families reunite and enjoy there time together right now when the world is so apart. Faith Over Fear is what I remind myself everyday and that the Lord has a plan and what ever he is doing it's for the greater good. I love you both. You guys are so sweet and ur so inspiring truly. Hope your having a blessed day. Stay safe much love 💞
You two are Oh Such Beautiful Souls! I Love all that you share, your encouragement, your good days, your rough days. You show us all we can get to the other side of our "troubles". You don't judge, you don't preach, you suggest and as always you stress the point that WE each need to do what works for us. Love, Love the editing that puts such awesome tunes to great content of your videos. Thank You for what you do and for Who You Are! Love, Karin Colorado
Family dynamics is never perfect. But, you have Drew! Drew has you! You’re a blessed couple. Thanks for sharing your feelings. Have a blessed Christmas!
Been watching you for a year now. This is the first time I'm commenting. I think you both are phenomenal people. I love who you are and you are so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing all with us. The good, bad, and ugly. But mostly it's the beautiful things you share that is the overwhelming factor.
Drew and Britney, hope you both have a blessed time with your loved ones and friends during Christmas time. The Lord bless you both and let his face shine upon you.
So happy you guys are home for the holidays. I can so relate to the joy, anxiety, and tug of war that brings. Lots of things I loved about this episode. How you deal with all those emotions(overwhelming for us empaths) the holiday season brings up, yoga, prayer, meditation, healthy eating, wonderful advice for all who struggle, especially at this time of year. Love your honesty about therapy. I went for 5 years and after had little tune ups every once in a while when life got particularly hairy or just to touch base. Therapy saved my life and I can't recommend it enough then al-anon taught me how to live that life. I hope you know what a blessing you are to so many of us who follow along on your road of life experiences. Love you and wish you both a wonderful Merry Christmas! 🎄⛄ ❤️
You should have a lot more subscribers! Anyone who lights up a cacti with Christmas lights deserves at least 100,000 subscribers so I see it for you in 2021! Happy holidays and hit that like button.....🎄☃️🙏🏻
I have traveled the backroads across the US on my motorcycle many times. It is sad to see towns passed by interstates and left to die. Yet the people you meet are so real and welcoming. It is so sad. I'm so grateful to be able to experience while it's still here.
You're doin' great Kids! You are accomplished filmmakers. Your videos are always beautiful, detailed, and leave the audience wanting more. You have acquired many skills and maturity on the road. Well done.
Your video touched my soul. I needed that. Watching the sunsets and sunrises of AZ and New Mexico, your hike, the white, white sands, wow! The bales of cotton. ..I've never seen that, I was sitting here thinking, OMG, this is a first for me and I came from a farm background. I've prayed for both of you, these are weird times, being close to God, or your preference of spiritual peace, is so important right now. Thank you for taking us along to Florida and I think taking the time to reflect, sift through thoughts and pray about your future decision on a home base, is wise. Buying my mtn land and building a small cabin has been the best decision, but it also takes a commitment, putting other things aside to see through a project like that. Love you guys, be safe! And MERRY CHRISTMAS! :) 🌲
God is good. I’m glad you’re doing self-care to keep yourself on an even keel. We all need help sometimes. Much love to you two. Pray for me, as I will pray for you!❤️✝️❤️
God says, "Even now I announce to you that not only will I restore to you all that has been taken from you, but I will give you double for all the trouble you have endured." He says, "Don't stop believing. . . keep trusting Me, because I can see your future and it is very blessed. Keep walking with me and keep trusting in me and I will give you rest in the midst of the storm."
You two are so inspiring. I know life is never perfect for anyone, and we all experience bumps in the road, but I truly hope you two have smooth sailing, the best of luck and more joy than your hearts can hold. Best wishes to you and your families this holiday season and in the coming new year.
From prickly cacti to tropical palm trees! 🌵🌴 It felt like we were in the passenger seat with you guys. It's tough driving thru endless monoculture farms. Ugh. So cool to see you join up with Drew's parents just as they were driving up in their van! It must run in the family. 😆 Love you guys!
Love your guy's journey thank you for taking us along.💕This episode reminded me to care for myself as much as I care for others. I offten forget that and run myself down.
Driving West Coast to East Coast is SUCH a long drive. We moved from Arizona to Virginia in 2007 and crossing the elongated state of Tennessee seemed never-ending. Glad to see you made it on your long journey!
Ha, I live in TN, so I totally hear you. I live in the southeast corner and we never go west through TN just because it feels as long as Texas going across TN. It is a long state that is made even worse because you have to sort of zig zag through it, it's not a straight shot. ha ha ha.
How cool, floating down the river in a inflatable bed!! God bless you both. That was me you said that to!! Im so happy you remembered. The word is having God in us, praying is us in him! More of him and less of us is the sacrifice he wants from us. Love you both, can't wait till your next video!
You say it all so beautifully in such a way that resonates with me so deeply, "More of him and less of us".... thank you for you, we are blessed by your presence! 🙏
@@Mrandmrsadventure I just love God so much, I love to share his promises, his comfort and joy with people. I love how sweet you both are. Your the kind of people I would have as friends, which we already.
I know you guys were in a hurry, but I would have loved a whole travel video of that trip! Stay safe, and stay healthy! Thank you for taking me with you on your journey! :)
I love it anytime you mentioned your Christian beliefs. With out God I dont know what I would do since the accident. I spend most of my time alone about 95 percent of the time. And with out God I would of given up. But the love of him and my daughters and grandsons I move forward everyday. Be blessed friends and Merry Christmas.
Brittany & Drew, Wishing you an awesometastic Merry Christmas with family and friends and an adventure filled 2021! Your episodes always bring a smile to my face with your perfect blend of adventure and lifestyle thoughts, thank you thank you!
Just take it easy. Stay safe, it is more important to tell your family and friends that you love and miss them, rather then getting sick or spreading the COVID-19 yourself. Another thing. It will always be hard trying yo get around to everyone. I suggest you beikg honest to them, that you wish you had enough time, you feel bad for not having more time with them, but you will get around to them when you can. 🤗
You two look so genuinely happy to be home. I hope you pick Florida. It's a beautiful state. I've been watching Chynna Phillips' channel & stumbled on an old interview she did when her sis revealed the incest. When asked how she handles her mom's denial of it, she broke into song, singing to the effect that if her mom doesn't want to think ill of her dad, it's a fine choice in how to deal with it; it's not her place to judge. I was really moved by that, I really felt her Christianity shine (while most commenters thought she was cray cray!) Love is it.
What a blessing to be with family!! I like your idea about letting possible plans simmer for awhile. That is what I am doing too. All in God's timing. Keep being a blessing to us through your videos and be blessed by all the love we give back to you! Love you both and have a very Merry Christmas! 🏖🌴
Drew, shoulder blade cricks are from an uncomfortable mattress. Also driving causes discomfort. Heat/cold and massage, as well as time. You two take care throughout the holiday.
Brittany and Drew, just found your channel. Love it. Been binge watching. I love your artistic abilities and the way you video. Brittany, I just want to say that your artwork is amazing! The way you are able to illustrate your thoughts and feelings in pictures is amazing.
Hi you two- enjoy your time w/family! Drew: you and your dad- I can sure see the resemblance. Brittany Love- my parents divorced in 1963. I was 5. I understand how you feel totally. Brought tears. I wanted to just say- both my parents are gone now. But I still have the “feels” around Christmas. All I can do is my best to give my two (who are 37 & 38) the best Holidays that I can. It’s important to talk to God everyday, you’re so right! It’s also important to Listen To Him Which I see that you both do. Have fun! 🎄 ✌🏼 stay healthy!
What a sweet mom you must be ❤️💚 Gives me all the feels just having someone who understands how it feels 🥺 I can't wait to have a family of our own that we can create traditions with... 😘
@@Mrandmrsadventure and when you do have your beautiful family of your own-you’ll do everything w/in your power to make sure their “feels” are healthy and good 🤗 it’s these “damn hard” lessons we learn that are often the best teachers. Xxoo
We were made with emotions of all types. We are meant to use them. Our anger can actually inspire us to change or to take an action. Laughter is enjoyment and fun. It heals. Sadness and tears shows us the love we have within. It cleans us and teaches us what matters. Jealousy shows us what matters to us and how to control it and stay humble in our love. Love and affection speak for themselves. Some have no one to express affection to...so they can express it to their pets. Always be your own best friend. No matter the emotions for the day, never be ashamed of them. They are a part of us.
Happy holidays with family...but stay safe. I lived in NM for 25 years and I adore White Sands. I also cherish the beautiful visitors center, too! Have a safe trip to FL.
Beautiful scenery and vibes as usual. Have a safe and fun time with your family and friends. Just got back today from camping in Fanning Springs, near Manatee Springs. Beautiful 72 degree water and yes lots of manatees to swim with!
Been meaning to post this. I love Drew’s hair now that he has cut it. More handsome for sure in the world according to me 😀. Be safe. Wear a mask no matter what anyone else is doing. Follow silence.
I can’t agree with you more... Most of us feel a level of Anxiety because of the pandemic and Christmas blues... I am a transplant elderly person, so Christmas will probably be solo for me. My kids will be dropping by from a distance but this is totally new for me and I guess for most of us. But Christmas is in our hearts and I won’t let covid still my joy. Merry Christmas to both of you lovely couple and to all your subscribers!❤️🎄🎁🎅🧑🎄🤶💕
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your time in Florida, but be safe!!!! Enjoy some downtime too! Drew, I really like what you said at the end of the video at about 26:05 ... "Where there is prayer, there is no worry." Thank you for that!!
That was an enjoyable video! And I was very surprised to see the house I lived in for 3 years as you drove into the White Sands Park entrance. The house is adobe and the walls are probably 2 feet thick. We really enjoyed living there and being able to experience that part of the country. Thank you for making such scenic videos and taking me along for the ride!
You guys are awesome I love watching your journey I like it 93 7% of your views on life Keep up the good job enjoy your holidays with your family and friends talk to you soon can’t wait to the next video
Joyeux Noël to you both. God bless you both as you continue to trust Him to direct you to the next chapter of your lives. You honest and uplifting shares are a blessing to me and to all who watch your videos. ❤️🌞
Beautiful hike, cacti are an amazing flora with lots of good medicine and variety. Great video composition folks, love your style - smooth footage, great content, love your playfulness - my motto for Life is “Never Leave the Playground!” And hope you enjoy all your goodies!!!!!!! Love hugs and make those holidays happy! Kelli in Florida
Great job on this episode guys. Love your Christmas tree. Fred I think it was. Drew's parents look like fun folks. I hope all had a safe fun river ride and you all have a very merry Christmas.
You're both such beautiful spirits having a lovely human experience. Thank you again for sharing all of the trials,miles an happiness Merry Christmas an happiest New year ever !Love Fred an both of you 😘😘 🌵🎄💞🌲🕊️🌍🌎🌏🕊️🌲💞🎄🌵
Brittany you have inspired me to journal more. It really has helped. I am able to work through those difficult emotions without beating myself up too much. Before the journal I would have to lock myself in my room for a couple days to work through everything or I would take my hurt out on my family and that made things worse. I still have really bad days but they seem easier now that I write it down.
I am so blessed and encouraged by your words, it is incredible what the power of writing things out can do for us. Keep doing the things that are working, you are making it through, you are overcoming, you are a survivor. Here is a song for you, I usually listen to it at the end of yoga when I am lying on my back: ua-cam.com/video/S_0r3hYg78o/v-deo.html
The sunrise part reminded me of silhouette cartoons from the fifties...great video! THE THING!!!...is the thing!... lol! You both look very healthy and very relaxed. All the nature shots are done so well...thank you. The xmas tree is so cute and different. Your therapist is very good, Brittany, because your family dynamics can take its toll. You can have confidence in all your metaphorical toolbox tools...yoga, journaling, worshipping the G-d whose love is always right by you to hold your hope up and to strengthen your walk through the challenges. Drew is right, Brittany...you've got THIS XMAS IN YOUR WHOLE HEART AND MIND. JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN. THAT EFFORT IS ALL IMPORTANT...GIVE THE RESULTS TO G-D! You are going to be fine. Remember, there is alot of understanding behind you. I pray everyday for all of the globe because life everywhere is a challenge. Please wear face masks. You know the science enough to realize that mask wearing has become a political statement by some: they can be radical and hostile or they will WEAR A FACE MASK! I just want you to stay alive because I am selfishly enjoying looking through your eyes at all of this earth. Merry Christmas, loves! The New Year will be a new year: filled with adventures: the ones that tear at your heart and the ones that lift you up and over your own expectations!! Forgive me if I get too motherly. Bravo my young ones!
I’m originally from Tucson, specifically the Catalina foothills. Thank you for taking me on a tour of my old back yard! I didn’t get to make it there this year like I planed and it’s been awhile.
Glad y'all are going back home to see family for the holidays Hope you had a safe trip. You guys drove right past my house in Fort Worth going east on 20 when you crossed trail lake Drive. I love the way you are both so real and expose your vulnerabilities it takes a lot of courage . Much love and God bless.
Sitting close to the open fire in my living room, I enjoyed watching you driving home for a sunny 😎 and warm time with Drew’s parents. Enjoy your stay together and be blessed with live and joy. Greetings from the Netherlands
An idea for your blessing bags inspired by @InvisiblePeople is to add a pair of socks. That's one of the most common things he distributes and they are always much appreciated. Love to you both! 😘💜
I totally understand you, Brittany. The holidays can be very stressful. Even worse after you lose a parent. Family dynamics are not great for everyone. I've driven that route many times, from Oregon. Kudos for not getting a ticket in Texas!! Cheers!
Yep, White Sands will probably be our fist National Park to visit, soon, when our van is finished. It’s close to home, so perfect for our trial run 🥰. We’ve also done that drive from New Mexico to Florida, and back, several times. Driving through those deserted little towns always makes me feel sad.......seeing the miles and miles of very plain and kinda boring landscape, it’s not really a big surprise nobody wants to live there though. The other very sad thing along that road in Texas, is the factory farms....... they always have me in tears........ It’s driving through there, exactly 10 years ago (when we drove from Navarre, Florida, to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to spend Xmas with our daughter, while my husband was deployed, that our youngest decided to become a vegetarian. She’s never looked back........since then, I’ve started eating a mostly plant based diet too. Having divorced parents can be very hard on the children. My hubby’s parents divorced when he was in his early twenties, when we were already married. I saw how difficult it was at times. His father was so unfair, constantly talking very negative about his ex wife, to his kids. I don’t understand how any parent would want to turn their kids against the other parent. Oh man, stay away from the crowds!!! Stay safe! Vaccines are on their way...... just a little bit longer.
Met Drew today as he was doing repairs on the van. Super nice guy! He showed us around his setup. Definitely earned himself a new subscriber.
Very cool! Sorry for just seeing this comment now. Love that we connected in person months ago and you left us a comment. 😀🚐
Staying safe, happy and healthy, and we hope you are too! Tap the notification bell so you don't miss next week's early video... 💚❤️!
Love, B + D
Brit...every family has some sort of dysfunctionality, don't sweat it....just do you, do what you're comfortable with and what makes you happy, let others worry about themselves. We can not satisfy everyone!!!
The Lord will not let you endure what you cannot handle...For HE says, cast your cares upon ME!!!
Merry Christmas you two🥰🎄
@@dnonya5208 Thank you SO MUCH for that beautiful reminder, I feel like we have a whole community of angels surrounding us ❤️🙏💚
Early video? What day? Don't want to miss it.
Also take care of yourself, be careful, the people not masking thing is scary. God bless you Merry Christmas.
You two are so kind and lovely. I love seeing you hand out the Blessing Bags. It fills my heart with joy each time I do, as well. So many folks in need pre-Covid and now in 2020, so many more in need. Enjoy your Winter with your family. XO
Being present is a mentaly extremely healthy mindset! Be who you are. Don't think too much. You are beautiful ❤️🙏

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 I am praying for y’all daily. Stay safe
White Sands love this place. Grew up in El Paso and Ruidoso and have great memories of White Sands.

You two are such lovely people, thank you for sharing your adventures.
Enjoy for family time, Merry Christmas!
Beautiful sunrise 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🎄🎄🎄
And Now! ❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄
Brittany & Drew, Wishing you an awesometastic Merry Christmas with family and friends and an adventure filled 2021! Your episodes always bring a smile to my face with your perfect blend of adventure and lifestyle thoughts, thank you thank you!
Just take it easy.
Stay safe, it is more important to tell your family and friends that you love and miss them, rather then getting sick or spreading the COVID-19 yourself.
Another thing.
It will always be hard trying yo get around to everyone. I suggest you beikg honest to them, that you wish you had enough time, you feel bad for not having more time with them, but you will get around to them when you can. 🤗
Thank you so very much for your kind words and encouragement 🙏😘
You two look so genuinely happy to be home. I hope you pick Florida. It's a beautiful state. I've been watching Chynna Phillips' channel & stumbled on an old interview she did when her sis revealed the incest. When asked how she handles her mom's denial of it, she broke into song, singing to the effect that if her mom doesn't want to think ill of her dad, it's a fine choice in how to deal with it; it's not her place to judge. I was really moved by that, I really felt her Christianity shine (while most commenters thought she was cray cray!) Love is it.
Oh my goodness!!! Y’all passed right through my hometown in Louisiana!! So glad you made it safely for your visit 😊
What a blessing to be with family!! I like your idea about letting possible plans simmer for awhile. That is what I am doing too. All in God's timing. Keep being a blessing to us through your videos and be blessed by all the love we give back to you! Love you both and have a very Merry Christmas! 🏖🌴
Drew, shoulder blade cricks are from an uncomfortable mattress. Also driving causes discomfort.
Heat/cold and massage, as well as time.
You two take care throughout the holiday.
Brittany and Drew, just found your channel. Love it. Been binge watching. I love your artistic abilities and the way you video. Brittany, I just want to say that your artwork is amazing! The way you are able to illustrate your thoughts and feelings in pictures is amazing.
Hi you two- enjoy your time w/family!
Drew: you and your dad- I can sure see the resemblance.
Brittany Love- my parents divorced in 1963. I was 5. I understand how you feel totally. Brought tears. I wanted to just say- both my parents are gone now. But I still have the “feels” around Christmas. All I can do is my best to give my two (who are 37 & 38) the best Holidays that I can.
It’s important to talk to God everyday, you’re so right! It’s also important to Listen To Him Which I see that you both do.
Have fun! 🎄 ✌🏼 stay healthy!
What a sweet mom you must be ❤️💚 Gives me all the feels just having someone who understands how it feels 🥺 I can't wait to have a family of our own that we can create traditions with... 😘
@@Mrandmrsadventure and when you do have your beautiful family of your own-you’ll do everything w/in your power to make sure their “feels” are healthy and good 🤗 it’s these “damn hard” lessons we learn that are often the best teachers. Xxoo
♥️
We were made with emotions of all types. We are meant to use them. Our anger can actually inspire us to change or to take an action. Laughter is enjoyment and fun. It heals. Sadness and tears shows us the love we have within. It cleans us and teaches us what matters. Jealousy shows us what matters to us and how to control it and stay humble in our love. Love and affection speak for themselves. Some have no one to express affection to...so they can express it to their pets. Always be your own best friend. No matter the emotions for the day, never be ashamed of them. They are a part of us.
Happy holidays with family...but stay safe. I lived in NM for 25 years and I adore White Sands. I also cherish the beautiful visitors center, too! Have a safe trip to FL.
Beautiful scenery and vibes as usual. Have a safe and fun time with your family and friends. Just got back today from camping in Fanning Springs, near Manatee Springs. Beautiful 72 degree water and yes lots of manatees to swim with!
That was awesome..glad you're with family...get some rest and enjoy your time there..happy holidays..❤..God bless u and families.🙏
Merry Christmas to you both!!!!Enjoy this very special time of the year, blessings 🎄🤗🇨🇦
Stay safe - there’s lots of Covid here in FL! Be careful! Love you guys so much, you’re such good people! 🎄
Wao what a long trip! I’m so glad you guys are back home. Please take care guys. Enjoy!!!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪🎄
Been meaning to post this. I love Drew’s hair now that he has cut it. More handsome for sure in the world according to me 😀. Be safe. Wear a mask no matter what anyone else is doing. Follow silence.
I can’t agree with you more... Most of us feel a level of Anxiety because of the pandemic and Christmas blues... I am a transplant elderly person, so Christmas will probably be solo for me. My kids will be dropping by from a distance but this is totally new for me and I guess for most of us. But Christmas is in our hearts and I won’t let covid still my joy. Merry Christmas to both of you lovely couple and to all your subscribers!❤️🎄🎁🎅🧑🎄🤶💕
Always look forward to your videos...refreshing and enlightening
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your time in Florida, but be safe!!!! Enjoy some downtime too! Drew, I really like what you said at the end of the video at about 26:05 ... "Where there is prayer, there is no worry." Thank you for that!!
That was an enjoyable video! And I was very surprised to see the house I lived in for 3 years as you drove into the White Sands Park entrance. The house is adobe and the walls are probably 2 feet thick. We really enjoyed living there and being able to experience that part of the country. Thank you for making such scenic videos and taking me along for the ride!
I am so thankful that y’all talk about God.
You guys are awesome I love watching your journey I like it 93 7% of your views on life Keep up the good job enjoy your holidays with your family and friends talk to you soon can’t wait to the next video
Beautiful scenery, sending you good wishes and happy safe travels.

Joyeux Noël to you both. God bless you both as you continue to trust Him to direct you to the next chapter of your lives. You honest and uplifting shares are a blessing to me and to all who watch your videos. ❤️🌞
❤️💚🙏💚❤️
God bless you two and whatever the next adventure is!
Beautiful hike, cacti are an amazing flora with lots of good medicine and variety. Great video composition folks, love your style - smooth footage, great content, love your playfulness - my motto for Life is “Never Leave the Playground!” And hope you enjoy all your goodies!!!!!!!

sending you our love back! ❤️💚🙏💚❤️
I had no idea there were so many oil wells in New Mexico! Thank you for sharing your journey! Blessings from Tennessee!🙏
Having gone through tough times recently my hubby reminded me.
1. God Is good. 2. God is good to me. 3. God is good at being God.
Blessings to you both!!! Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄
Brittany you have inspired me to journal more. It really has helped. I am able to work through those difficult emotions without beating myself up too much. Before the journal I would have to lock myself in my room for a couple days to work through everything or I would take my hurt out on my family and that made things worse. I still have really bad days but they seem easier now that I write it down.
I am so blessed and encouraged by your words, it is incredible what the power of writing things out can do for us. Keep doing the things that are working, you are making it through, you are overcoming, you are a survivor. Here is a song for you, I usually listen to it at the end of yoga when I am lying on my back: ua-cam.com/video/S_0r3hYg78o/v-deo.html
@@Mrandmrsadventure i love that! I will listen to it from now on when I'm feeling down and need to get out of my head. ❤❤
@@maybenot9449 may your "really bad days" become less and less and less and less ✨
The sunrise part reminded me of silhouette cartoons from the fifties...great video! THE THING!!!...is the thing!... lol!
You both look very healthy and very relaxed. All the nature shots are done so well...thank you. The xmas tree is so cute and different.
Your therapist is very good, Brittany, because your family dynamics can take its toll. You can have confidence in all your metaphorical toolbox tools...yoga, journaling, worshipping the G-d whose love is always right by you to hold your hope up and to strengthen your walk through the challenges. Drew is right, Brittany...you've got THIS XMAS IN YOUR WHOLE HEART AND MIND. JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN. THAT EFFORT IS ALL IMPORTANT...GIVE THE RESULTS TO G-D!
You are going to be fine. Remember, there is alot of understanding behind you. I pray everyday for all of the globe because life everywhere is a challenge. Please wear face masks. You know the science enough to realize that mask wearing has become a political statement by some: they can be radical and hostile or they will WEAR A FACE MASK! I just want you to stay alive because I am selfishly enjoying looking through your eyes at all of this earth.
Merry Christmas, loves! The New Year will be a new year: filled with adventures: the ones that tear at your heart and the ones that lift you up and over your own expectations!!
Forgive me if I get too motherly. Bravo my young ones!
I’m originally from Tucson, specifically the Catalina foothills. Thank you for taking me on a tour of my old back yard! I didn’t get to make it there this year like I planed and it’s been awhile.
Glad y'all are going back home to see family for the holidays Hope you had a safe trip. You guys drove right past my house in Fort Worth going east on 20 when you crossed trail lake Drive. I love the way you are both so real and expose your vulnerabilities it takes a lot of courage . Much love and God bless.
Sitting close to the open fire in my living room, I enjoyed watching you driving home for a sunny 😎 and warm time with Drew’s parents. Enjoy your stay together and be blessed with live and joy.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Sending you our love across the seas dear one ❤️💚🙏💚❤️
An idea for your blessing bags inspired by @InvisiblePeople is to add a pair of socks. That's one of the most common things he distributes and they are always much appreciated. Love to you both! 😘💜
great suggestion for Blessing Bags 2.0! thank you ❤️
Ohhh, I love that, especially during winter. Great idea! I need to make some new ones myself.
Welcome back to Florida! Native Floridian here just sending some good vibes to y'all.
My cousin just moved out to New Mexico. Can't wait to go visit her out there
I just love your videos!! Wishing you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Welcome to the Tucson area.
Merry Christmas, and God bless!!!
My hubby has lint also lol when I try to take it he says “ I’m saving that for my sweater !”
I totally understand you, Brittany. The holidays can be very stressful. Even worse after you lose a parent. Family dynamics are not great for everyone.
I've driven that route many times, from Oregon. Kudos for not getting a ticket in Texas!! Cheers!
Loved everything about this video! Thank you guys! For sharing your lives. You’re a blessing to me. Stay safe in Florida! Merry Christmas!!
You guys are the best and are so awesome and beautiful people
Yep, White Sands will probably be our fist National Park to visit, soon, when our van is finished. It’s close to home, so perfect for our trial run 🥰. We’ve also done that drive from New Mexico to Florida, and back, several times. Driving through those deserted little towns always makes me feel sad.......seeing the miles and miles of very plain and kinda boring landscape, it’s not really a big surprise nobody wants to live there though. The other very sad thing along that road in Texas, is the factory farms....... they always have me in tears........ It’s driving through there, exactly 10 years ago (when we drove from Navarre, Florida, to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to spend Xmas with our daughter, while my husband was deployed, that our youngest decided to become a vegetarian. She’s never looked back........since then, I’ve started eating a mostly plant based diet too. Having divorced parents can be very hard on the children. My hubby’s parents divorced when he was in his early twenties, when we were already married. I saw how difficult it was at times. His father was so unfair, constantly talking very negative about his ex wife, to his kids. I don’t understand how any parent would want to turn their kids against the other parent. Oh man, stay away from the crowds!!! Stay safe! Vaccines are on their way...... just a little bit longer.
