Thank you guys for showing the beautifulness of this love and just everything I appreciate seeing our diverse couple that's not afraid to be nerdy and everything I love it
Loved the vlog. The background music was too loud during the sit-down talk. Ricky congrats on your win. Y'all's room looks better with the lighter color. We travel weekly, we always use the lower level, don't tell too many, it will get too crowded lol. You guys are always interesting and fun. Alex, I agree, your travel vlogs are some of your best. ❤️🌈
Yes it is too loud, it's something we need to fix in the next vlog for sure. And you're right I hope I didn't give away our little secret too much, lol!
I've looked forward to finally having time to sit down and watch this. I always look forward to you guys videos. I have 6 kittens in my lap. Was hoping you'd talk about your feelings after the election. Maybe next time. Please keep yourselves safe. If you don't post before Thanksgiving, I hope yours is amazing! Big hugs from Southern Illinois.
Thank you so much for the support. We’re still reeling a bit from the results and want to be careful about how we discuss it online. We’ll be back next week! Please tune in then. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
thanks guy for showing to the world that love hasn't a colour near gender, love is love , and gays can be in longtherm relationships/marriage. stay who you are guys, both gems of persons. big hugs from Belgium
Great vlog! I really enjoyed the sit-down conversation-it felt genuine and open. The background music could be a little softer, but the whole vibe was amazing. I especially loved the question about what you’ve learned about yourselves; your honesty and self-awareness really came through in your responses. I’m from South Africa and have thought about starting a channel myself to bring more visibility to Black queer couples here. But I’m not sure I’m ready for the scrutiny and judgment that might come with it. My husband and I have been together for 14 years, married for 5, and your dynamic as a couple feels so familiar! Sometimes I find myself rolling my eyes at Alex because it’s like looking in a mirror and seeing all those little things I need to work on too! And Ricky reminds me of my husband-a bit on the quieter side but with a love for life’s little pleasures. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope your channel and your relationship continue to grow and blossom!
You're right, the music is loud and we had a plan for audio that didn't work out smh. We know for next time! Thank you for supporting us and the kind note about the vibe. It is a blessing and a curse, to be able to see yourself online and make notes. But to your point it contributes to the self-awareness!
Thanks for sharing, guys. The bedroom looks so much brighter with the white paint. I'm looking forward to seeing the autumn and holiday decor! I'm glad you took a break after the election results. We all needed to take a breather. I have concerns about the future, but I can't keep dwelling on it, or I'll make myself nuts. I hope your week goes well. 🍁🍂🍁
Hey guys, love the channel. Here's a thought for your travels, I just moved from Atlanta to South Africa. Travel to Joburg and Capetown, you will love it.
In my opinion many relationships do not last because the couple hasn't learned to communicate. Relationships require a lot of work. If one partner cheated, which to me, is such a silly reason couples break up. Talk about it and work it out. I have seen so many couples break up because one half cheated Let me be the first to tell you that the grass isn't greener on the other side. There really isn't all those fish in the sea. They lied about all that stuff but you may get lucky! I've seen some sad souls because they left a good man. After nearly 40 years my husband and I have been together we still have disagreements. You learn to give and take. Personally, I think what you both are doing as couple is greatly needed. We need more like you sharing their story. Making videos is hard work and that's one reason I haven't posted one yet. But it's coming!
You’re so right. Communication is key! We hope you see that we are trying to model healthy communication in our videos. We’ve overcome a lot too. It’s always important to acknowledge our faults with each other
I remember that video from 2017😊. I don't have a relationship question more of a cooking question. I seen you add coco to yours. What exactly does that add to the chili? I love to make mine from scratch myself.
Oh wow! We go way back then ☺️ and the cocoa powder adds some umami to the chili and helps balance out the flavors, it doesn’t make it sweet at all though!
Good call! It is a bit loud. Smh. Sorry about that. We met on facebook back in 2009 through mutual friends. And we definitely were not in our professions, we were just freshmen in college! We go into more detail about how we met in an earlier video here: ua-cam.com/video/2KhRBakEuco/v-deo.html
@OurBoyStory I watched the shared with me, I'm not sure how I missed it... I've been a follower for a while. What are yout current professions? I believe you said prior your a college professor and Ricky is a RN correct? Are you out at work as well?
idk about the other BOYS in the audience, but I’d personally love the solo POV content of yall when you’re apart. It’d feel like a side quest on the channel. Lol
I enjoyed you guys as ALWAYS, LOVE you guys Together More More More.
Thanks so much! We’re glad you enjoy our vibes

Not I think I just stumbled on a new channel I can binge
Can confirm - you did! Welcome and we can’t wait to continue sharing with you ☺️

Thank YOU for tuning in! We love how much brighter it is. The brief break was so necessary. Hope your week goes well too!
You had a Harry Potter cupboard and his bedding was in that crawl space 😂😮💨
Hoping it was for Harry Potter and not someone or something else lol
Hey guys, love the channel. Here's a thought for your travels, I just moved from Atlanta to South Africa. Travel to Joburg and Capetown, you will love it.
That's a great suggestion. We're going to go ahead and put South Africa at the top of our list. A shame we haven't been yet.

I appreciate y'all sharing, but I do not think I could do it lol.
It's definitely not for everyone. We've learned a lot along the way!
Hi Guys, Enjoyed your conversation on relationships. And the bedroom looks bright and cheerful with the white walls 🤍.
We love our bedroom! So glad you liked our conversation
Can’t wait to see what folks have to say about this one. 😅
The music is too loud, or your guys are talking too low
How did you guys meet, etc .
were you guys already in your professions when you got together?
