If I was Emily, I'd be super grateful to Jessica and Bert for all they are offering. With the lack of accommodation available (and the price), a possible job that she can fit around the children with alaska apparal, and lots of support from family living nearby I'd be over the moon, but she couldn't even offer a thank you or smile looking around the flat, even if she's tired from the travel.
moragellis3040 I noticed the same thing. Not even a smile. Tired and exhausted I would have been so elated and shown so much gratitude for all the preparation and great touches. 😮 to have such a beautiful home ready.🤦♀️😔 I feel really sad with the NO reaction of Happiness!
Keep in mind we maybe see just a few minutes of their life on camera. How do you know she didn't cry or showed her emotions off camera? We don't know that. Maybe they wanted to keep that private and off youtube. Don't be so quick to assume how someone feels or has reacted. I have noticed Emily seems abit more shy on camera at times.
@@esthersaldana9772 and I just got agreeing with you I don't want to hurt the Summers because they're the most wonderful people but Burke kept asking her mother kept asking her do you like it and she's like she won't even say thank you or nothing nothing oh my God I would give my right arm or my leg to have such a beautiful place and they spent a ton of money
By the look on Emily's face she'll be heading back to Arizona soon... hope it was just the stress of flying, but she was not thrilled with the apartment. I'd move to a coastal fishing area in Alaska myself, not inland... but the prices are for the rich and famous. Nana was a big part of the SomersIn Alaska for a few years, your kids are going to love having her back...
Jessica you did an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE job with preparing the home for your sister. You really put in a lot of work and it turned out AMAZING!!!! Your really a GREAT BLESSING to your sister. Your sacrifice of time and love showed with such great decorating. Your a true BLESSING!! 😊
Well the sister seemed totally underwhelmed being presented with their beautiful new home. I feel a bit speechless. They have made such a beautiful home for them. I would have been thrilled and very grateful. Everyone’s different……..Love these videos. So down to earth. Thank you. Best wishes from UK.
She is expecting, has a toddler, flew there, and just uprooted to a totally different way of life. And she’s young. Maybe give some grace and slack. Plus, you’re only seeing glimpses into their lives, and running with what you see🤦🏼♀️
What has Zach been up to? Exciting to have more family closer. My advice for Nana is to make your kids take ALL their stuff otherwise you end up storing it forever!!
I just moved from Mass to TN… I’ve always lived in mass. Within 20 miles of where I was born. I left my 20 yr old son, my family, my friends… I know no one. But life is an adventure not a destination. I couldn’t be happier! Yes I miss everyone but every inch of me says this is where I belong.
Bert and Jessica it is neat to watch what giving hearts you both have. To see you give to family and strangers alike is a true living example of God’s love for others.
Empty nest can be very difficult at first but then you realize that you are content. We enjoy our daughter's coming to visit but love our quiet life now. Just a natural change in life.
After 23 years of being a full time mom, all 3 of my children moved out and Away within 6 weeks. The closest was 3 hours away and the furthest was 12 hours away. I cried everyday for 3 months, then I slowly did a redo to my house and repurposed their bedrooms…tv room, extra bedroom. So I could go into those rooms or walk through my house and be happy again
You are outstanding people. Extremely nice and caring. Helping family is one of the best things in this world as long as the people don't take advantage and are appreciative.
I moved a few times growing up but the biggest move was from Gold Coast Australia to Vancouver Canada at the age of 52. I’m still here 10 years later but miss my friends family and the sunshine. Married a Canadian.
✍Hello Somers Family... So glad to see you. Its such a blessing to see how close your family is and how you always make everyone feel welcome. I hope Emily is greatful that her sister and brother-in-law have a really nice furnished apartment for her. It was nice hearing Jessica and her mom talking about family and life in general and being empty nesters. God Bless LuvYa! Bye from Ohio
Being a snowbird for your parents would be wonderful, they get the chance to be around family at each place and choose which weather they prefer for the season
What a blessed opportunity for Emily and Ryan. Their new home is beautiful! I would have been like a kid in a candy store. You've thought of everything! It's so nice and bright with the fresh paint job. Great job Jessica and Bert (or Burt?). May you be blessed twofold. 💜
I was born and raised in a small town in Scotland, UK and at age 30 moved to a small town in the mountains of Western North Carolina, US. So I not only left my home town but left my entire country!
Yes we did that 2015. Sold everything bought a RV , Left the Mississippi gulf coast and moved to Thorne Bay Alaska. Lived there for six years while building our cabin.
It was so nice to see Emily coming to live in Alaska. So good to see Nana! Hugs from one Nana to another! Happy Fathers Day! have a good weekend everybody!
I love how you have your kids help! I bet a lot of parents are in shock! But it builds self confidence and a understanding of how things work, like Garret putting together the chairs! Plus it doesn’t seem like work, but learning, which builds encouragement that the parents have confidence that they can do it! So proud of all of you!
I am from North East Ohio in the snow belt! We get A LOT of snow! I grew up in a small town. 6 roads on a farm. My dad has lived in the same house for 67 years! I was a travel nurse for 5 years and lived in Nome Alaska during the winter for 5 months! I loved it!! Would for sure do it again!
Its good you'll have your little sister there to keep an eye on and help her adjust to life there. Glad that Nanna will be spending time to help out also. I hope your sister realizes how blessed she is to have you and Bert near by. North Pole looks like a great place to live. To answer Bert's question I would like to live in Alaska for at least one year. Just not sure where. I would like to visit different areas and then decide. I definitely would like to visit North Pole and Fairbanks.
I was born in Idaho, but Alaska has always been the dearest home of my heart. I lived in Alaska when it was a U.S. Territory, arriving in 1950. My experience sunk deep and lastingly into my heart. I have happily returned to visit over the years. I am 76 years old now and would return to Alaska in an instant. Thank you for always awakening those memories for me through the delightful chronicles of your family. The days of my youth in Alaska were the richest of blessings for me.
Yessir. I grew up in Connecticut, and always wanted to visit the South. I got the opportunity to work here, and moved to Georgia 2 years later. It’s been 40 years now. It’s a magical place. I met my forever person, raised 2 great kids, and had a successful business. I’m retired now. Glad to see you on a Friday.
Being a “snowbird “ would be the ideal way to spend your retirement. Family in both Alaska and Arizona. You are familiar with both places and have friends in those places too.
I moved from Michigan to Florida when I was 19 then moved back home 24. And stayed in Michigan. So great having family move closer, plus kids can see their cousins and Aunt & Uncle! ❤
Glad the fam got moved and you get to have some time with your Mom for a while. The more your mom talks the more she makes me think a lot of Audrey. You have such a beautiful close family.
Moved from the Southern part of Canada to Yellowknife almost 20 years ago. Single woman who found her self in the North. elements are harsh but my life work balance and opportunities and friends keep me here
I was born and raised in North highlands Scotland and I could never imagine myself living anywhere else. I live about 15 miles from the village I grew up in. We moved to the nearest small town which is still surrounded by lots of rural space. I love it here. It is home. My roots are deep.
My husband and I picked up and moved our family of 4 from Surprise, AZ to Wasilla, AK after 30 years living in Arizona. We have been here just over 7 years now and cannot imagine leaving Alaska.
Lovely seeing Nana back 💕I became an empty nester last October. Make sure they take their stuff with them! Its a bit raw at first but this lets you do small projects to your home and start a new chapter into your life. xx
Oh my goodness when my only son moved out I felt like I had no clue who I was and what I liked, my whole life revolved around him for 19 yrs. I had the hardest time even grocery shopping, everything reminded me that he no longer lived at home. It has been about 8 yrs and I found my niche, my husband and I have a good time puttering in the yard and LOVE when our boy and his family come to spend time. Hugs to your parents, empty nest is no joke!
How fun to have family.... for me, that's the best thing ever. We're empty nesters (for a very long time now)... it's hard at first and you wonder what you'll do with ALL that free time... and then somehow the time fills up with stuff... and you wonder where all that free time went. Now the togetherness will be even more special! Enjoy!
I was born and raised here in England , but ever since childhood , I’ve always wanted to move to Alaska , it’s the wilderness, the pace of life , the piece and quiet that’s always attracted me there , never yet been to Alaska, but we are planning a trip out there for my 50th birthday in 4 years .hope Emily , rylan and aspen settle with there new adventure in life , and it’s nice to see nana back .
In 2006 I moved from NJ to the woods in southern Ohio and stayed for 8 years, I’m back in NJ now, I missed it ! It’s good to see your mom, she’s looking relaxed and happy !
I was born in Portland Oregon grew up 30 miles west. and have lived in Wyoming, Texas, and Ohio, also other towns in Oregon, I love the small town feeling. There is a town in Oregon called Burns, in the middle of nowhere, a 2 hour drive to anywhere. I loved it there.
We moved from our hometown to 1000 miles. It was a harder adjustment than I ever thought. After 18 years, we moved back to our hometown. Truly learned why people say you can never go home.
I’ve lived in 8 states and one country in Europe. Always find it interesting when I meet people who have lived in one place all their life. Pros and cons to both experiences.
My husband and I are recent empty nesters and it’s a hard transition. I really struggled with the quiet. We’ve recently taken up kayaking and tubing down the river by our house. We had to get a hobby to bring more joy in our life. Now the kids and their spouses go with us and it’s become a big family event. It’s a great time to find adult hobbies.
I’m a home bird and a Yorkshire lass all the way through, and I’m so happy where I am in Leyburn in the Yorkshire Dales. We have cold winters and beautiful summers (obviously we have rain…it is England after all😆😆). I just don’t belong anywhere else. When you know, you know. I wish I could show you what I look at every morning when I walk my dogs. However I would love to visit Alaska, Canada…nothing too hot lol xx🙏🏻🌼
We moved last year from Holland to Ireland. I have 2 kids aged 7 and 1.5. And so far its been the best decision. Life is slower here aswell and way more relaxing for my kids. Its a difficult decision but in the end you have too chose whats best for yourself and the kids
Empty nest is FANTASTIC…… We all work hard to raise our kids, now we have to let them fly…. Enjoy your new space as a couple and as individuals…. Trust in your faith that all the stuff you’ve pumped into your kids, they listened… It’s wonderful to watch them fly…..❤❤
Both my wife and I were born and raised in Fresno, California. In 2018, at the age of 69, we decided to move out of California to a place that was not as crazy. We ended up in Maryville, Tennessee and love the small community, the weather and the greenness of the area. We are not planning to move again.
I have an empty nest. I miss my girls so much but im blessed we all live within 30-40 minutes. I still don't get to see my older daughter for weeks. She works a lot. Its been a couple years and I'm pricking up old hobbies, going to concerts and some traveling.
I loved growing up in a small town in Oklahoma! I loved the seasons -the monarchs migration through our little town and all the beautiful old Victorians that lined the streets ! I move back in a heartbeat if I could find a job there ! Small towns r the best to grow up in !
So excited for yall that some of your family is moving close to you. Audrey favors your mom alot Jessica. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
After 37 years of raising kids it was definitely an adjustment for me. I like my quiet time now. I sure do miss my littles. Just a different season and you will adjust and learn to enjoy your free time.
I’m from London, UK so I’m used to the big city life, however I would love to move to somewhere remote. There’s something about the calmness and under-indulgence which is so appealing. Love your videos!
When I was 20, I moved from central NY, to northern FLA. Best decision I ever made. I do agree... try before making the leap. Good luck and best wishes to all.
My husband's family all still live in their home town, now their kids and grandkids are all in the same town, going to the same schools generation after generation. It's a big world out there, go explore it!! From talking to them, they're not too aware of different places and what they offer, just different things in life.
Absolutely! I’ve lived in The Philippines, India, Argentina and Honduras. Growing up I always wanted to move - somewhere but mostly overseas. My career ended up taking me to these countries to live/work for 11 years. I was living in the Washington, DC suburbs so yes, far different living. The developing world is very different but eye-opening and wonderful albeit all the frustrations and challenges. MST of my Facebook and IG friends are from outside the US and the friendships I’ve made are now lifelong. I’ve been stateside for 4 years and am itching to move, but it’s not likely at this point. In the past 28 years I’ve moved EIGHTEEN years. 😮 I recommend it! 👍🏻
2:18 My husband and I have this opportunity and are moving to Alaska this year! New adventure, new career. I have been watching your videos for several years now and I have learned so much from you all! Can’t wait to experience Alaska full time!
My mother moved used to Las Vegas, NV when I was 12, I hated it!! The day after I graduated high school I moved. I have lived in Eastern WA for many decades and love it!
I still live in the town I was born and raised in. I don't think I could ever move anywhere else but never say never. All of my family is here and I can't imagine being so far away from them.
Moved from my hometown in Southern California almost 20 years ago to Rural Missouri. I love it here. It’s a slower pace and the small town atmosphere was great for raising our kids.
Welcome home Nana the garden will be fantastic this year with Nana’s green thumb helping out. So glad that the cousins get to know each other. Looking forward to seeing many more family vlogs. Love 💕 y’all!
I was born and raised in Central Florida. At 33, I moved to New Brunswick, Canada with my Canadian husband. I've lived here ever since. Also, I moved here in November....just thrown right into the winter weather too. I've been here ever since. It was a struggle because I didn't have any family close by.
If I was Emily, I'd be super grateful to Jessica and Bert for all they are offering. With the lack of accommodation available (and the price), a possible job that she can fit around the children with alaska apparal, and lots of support from family living nearby I'd be over the moon, but she couldn't even offer a thank you or smile looking around the flat, even if she's tired from the travel.

True....🤣
Absolutely! We did once they bought a home their stuff went to them. Lol
It’s so sweet to see you and mom together in Alaska. It’s so normal.
You can tell your Mom is welcome even the doggo is comfortable with her!

Yes your mother is just amazing!!

I did! My son was 16 when we moved here! Came up on vacation and it felt like home, we moved 2 yrs later! Been here 25 yrs!
Just moved from CA to the Ozarks last winter, just in time for -8 temperatures and well pipes breaking.. We love it, and we're staying. I'm 72.

I want to say your kids are absolutely amazing you should be very proud of them!
Yessir. I grew up in Connecticut, and always wanted to visit the South. I got the opportunity to work here, and moved to Georgia 2 years later. It’s been 40 years now. It’s a magical place.

Left Michigan 3 weeks after my Dad died and moved to Arizona and my daughter lives in Florida. Been here 15 years now 😊
What a beautiful gift given. It looks absolutely beautiful!! There’s nothing like family!!! ❤❤
I moved from Michigan to Florida when I was 19 then moved back home 24. And stayed in Michigan. So great having family move closer, plus kids can see their cousins and Aunt & Uncle! ❤
Hi Michagnder
@@lauragadille3384 hello
I moved away from Michigan for about 10 years and then came back in 2015.
Very happy here.
Nothing like being home.
I lived in Michigan my whole life. No need for me to be anywhere else but here.
Michigan will always be home to me.❤
Glad the fam got moved and you get to have some time with your Mom for a while. The more your mom talks the more she makes me think a lot of Audrey. You have such a beautiful close family.
What a blessing you all are to make people so welcome 🙏
We moved three hours from our hometown and I would never go back. I love living in the country.
Nana be prepared to cry when you get home and it is quiet . but keeping busy helps , working on a hobby helps too.

I’m impressed with the kids assembling furniture!
Not at my age. Almost 80. Always wanted to live in mountains. I live central Texas with crazy mesquite trees. Enjoy your life.

Alaska I miss you !!!
What a blessing to move and still have family nearby! That makes the transition better. Aw!! So much love to you all! 🥰

We moved from our hometown to 1000 miles. It was a harder adjustment than I ever thought. After 18 years, we moved back to our hometown. Truly learned why people say you can never go home.
I’ve lived in 8 states and one country in Europe. Always find it interesting when I meet people who have lived in one place all their life. Pros and cons to both experiences.
Empty nest is hard. Keep a schedule, get outside, care for people’s pets, get two cats, enjoy each other, go to church everyday!💕
My husband and I are recent empty nesters and it’s a hard transition. I really struggled with the quiet. We’ve recently taken up kayaking and tubing down the river by our house. We had to get a hobby to bring more joy in our life. Now the kids and their spouses go with us and it’s become a big family event. It’s a great time to find adult hobbies.
So good to see Nana again. How fun will that be, 2 little's being cousins & best friends toddling around.
I’m a home bird and a Yorkshire lass all the way through, and I’m so happy where I am in Leyburn in the Yorkshire Dales.

We moved last year from Holland to Ireland. I have 2 kids aged 7 and 1.5. And so far its been the best decision. Life is slower here aswell and way more relaxing for my kids. Its a difficult decision but in the end you have too chose whats best for yourself and the kids
Empty Nesters here too! And my baby moved to Alaska!! Love love being empty nesters and new chapters for adventure awaits!!
Nana once you get used to being an empty nester you will have a blast! ! Been there done that...
My family just moved away from our hometown to North Pole about 2 years ago. Best decision we ever made. Love the community, it's so beautiful.
I love that apt and I wish they had something like that in NJ. Very hard to move unless you really want to move!
Yes, and it would be nice if the fortunate recipients of that rare apartment in Alaska acted with gratitude.
Empty nest is FANTASTIC……
We all work hard to raise our kids, now we have to let
them fly….
Enjoy your new space as a couple and as individuals….
Trust in your faith that all the stuff you’ve pumped into your kids, they listened…
It’s wonderful to watch them fly…..❤❤
Both my wife and I were born and raised in Fresno, California. In 2018, at the age of 69, we decided to move out of California to a place that was not as crazy. We ended up in Maryville, Tennessee and love the small community, the weather and the greenness of the area. We are not planning to move again.
Empty nesting is an interesting phase of life for sure. It takes time to adjust. It’s so good to see Nana!
I have an empty nest. I miss my girls so much but im blessed we all live within 30-40 minutes. I still don't get to see my older daughter for weeks. She works a lot. Its been a couple years and I'm pricking up old hobbies, going to concerts and some traveling.
I loved growing up in a small town in Oklahoma! I loved the seasons -the monarchs migration through our little town and all the beautiful old Victorians that lined the streets ! I move back in a heartbeat if I could find a job there ! Small towns r the best to grow up in !
So excited for yall that some of your family is moving close to you. Audrey favors your mom alot Jessica. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
After 37 years of raising kids it was definitely an adjustment for me. I like my quiet time now. I sure do miss my littles. Just a different season and you will adjust and learn to enjoy your free time.
Have fun! Enjoy your changes, whatever they may be!
So glad to see mom home for a visit. Definitely looking forward to a wonderful summer of fun with your family.
I’m from London, UK so I’m used to the big city life, however I would love to move to somewhere remote. There’s something about the calmness and under-indulgence which is so appealing. Love your videos!
When I was 20, I moved from central NY, to northern FLA. Best decision I ever made. I do agree... try before making the leap. Good luck and best wishes to all.
My husband's family all still live in their home town, now their kids and grandkids are all in the same town, going to the same schools generation after generation. It's a big world out there, go explore it!! From talking to them, they're not too aware of different places and what they offer, just different things in life.
❤have a great week end I moved from NY to CA and moved back to NY I have all over the US nothing like to be in your home town
Absolutely! I’ve lived in The Philippines, India, Argentina and Honduras. Growing up I always wanted to move - somewhere but mostly overseas. My career ended up taking me to these countries to live/work for 11 years. I was living in the Washington, DC suburbs so yes, far different living. The developing world is very different but eye-opening and wonderful albeit all the frustrations and challenges. MST of my Facebook and IG friends are from outside the US and the friendships I’ve made are now lifelong. I’ve been stateside for 4 years and am itching to move, but it’s not likely at this point. In the past 28 years I’ve moved EIGHTEEN years. 😮 I recommend it! 👍🏻
The first few weeks are hard. But it’s amazing when you get used to it. Cooking is hard for 2. But you will love it!
Have fun and enjoy the good times!!
2:18 My husband and I have this opportunity and are moving to Alaska this year! New adventure, new career. I have been watching your videos for several years now and I have learned so much from you all! Can’t wait to experience Alaska full time!
My mother moved used to Las Vegas, NV when I was 12, I hated it!! The day after I graduated high school I moved. I have lived in Eastern WA for many decades and love it!
I still live in the town I was born and raised in. I don't think I could ever move anywhere else but never say never. All of my family is here and I can't imagine being so far away from them.
Moved from my hometown in Southern California almost 20 years ago to Rural Missouri. I love it here. It’s a slower pace and the small town atmosphere was great for raising our kids.
Welcome home Nana the garden will be fantastic this year with Nana’s green thumb helping out. So glad that the cousins get to know each other. Looking forward to seeing many more family vlogs. Love 💕 y’all!
Awesome family. THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING YOU. 😊
I hope y'all can get the whole family together ❤
I was born and raised in Central Florida. At 33, I moved to New Brunswick, Canada with my Canadian husband. I've lived here ever since. Also, I moved here in November....just thrown right into the winter weather too. I've been here ever since. It was a struggle because I didn't have any family close by.
Happy to see Nana🥰
