I'm rewatching your videos while doing everyday tasks and I didn't know this was the video in which you first mentioned Jordy. It's so weird and touching to know that a guy you weren't even sure how to pronounce his name would be such a wonderful part of your life by now. Feels a bit unreal but I'm really glad you guys found each other❤️
Thank you for sharing, even the most vulnerable and emotional moments. One day you will have your dream house again. You are an amazing person with such a bright soul. Happy gotcha day Max!
You’re so sweet, thank you 🥰
@@MichelJansenice family 🥰😍❤️
Amazing how you recommended Jordy, it feels surreal watching this blog again knowing you’re marrying him soon.
We fall into mourning what might have been or what we wished for, instead of what it actually was. I think it’s about still hanging on to that comforting dream even though it deepens and prolongs the present pain. It’s a process...
Yes! I think about this a lot!
Michel, I'm usually a lurker on youtube and never comment anything, but I wanted to let you know that it gets better and the pain does fade. Next month will be the 1 year anniversary of my divorce being finalized. I can relate to your story in so many ways. I lived my life trying to make my ex happy as best as I knew how, but nothing I did could ever be good enough. I spent hours and hours processing things like you did in the hammock, wondering what was wrong with me... Things finally reached a breaking point and I left very quickly. (I had to leave my plant babies behind too!) But miracles do happen, and less than a year later I met someone who treats me better than I ever imagined anyone would, and we've been married for almost 3 months already with our first child on the way. I'm sure you will find someone who will value you the way you deserve, you are so beautiful both inside and out! Even if it takes longer than it took me, just focus on healing and stay strong in your faith ❤
“Bittersweet memories may hurt, but they’ve made us who we are. We can never go back, but we wouldn’t trade memories for anything.” Susan Gale
Love this 🤍🤍
Your parents are super adorable. You can’t help but smile a little harder when they show up. I love your relationship with your parents, you have the same relationship with yours as I do with mine.
When I qas in my early 20s my fiance and I split because he was cheating. He moved out of our house, and my mom and a few close friends went to my house and completely re-did it to make it something for me. I only stayed for about another month before moving to a different place. Relationships can be tricky and hurtful and the memories can be joyful. And emotional. Even 15 years later I still have memories come back that make me tear up. It will get easier, may never be 100% fine, but just a little easier to deal with. You are an amazing women and thank you for sharing your life. I really do enjoy watching your videos and seeing how you've grown just in the last several months. :)
I wish I had the magic words to give you to make all the heartbreak go away. *This to shall pass ( when you let go ) *After watching the entire vlog this popped into my head. Listening to your story about you sitting in the hammock for sometimes 5 hours a day processing what was going on - It's like you got use to being treated badly and you spent so much time and energy on feeling better. Smile because you no longer have to waste time / energy processing hurt, because NOW are surrounded by people who love you.
Here, here!
This really touched me, thank you. I have felt SO much more emotional space free up in life nowadays. 🤍
I love how when you say "mom & dad" there's such an affectionate tone in your voice. I can hear in your voice how much you love your parents. I wish everyone could have such a healthy and beautiful relationship with their parents.
Michel, one day you will look back at this time and see how strong it made you. You will go to Sugarfish again, maybe with a significant other or a girlfriend, and it will be sweet and happy. And you will make new memories that will outshine the pain of the old ones. ❤️
I cant wait to go to Sugarfish again with someone I care about 🥰 thank you, Laura!
Your parents are so much fun!
They’re the best 🥲🥲🥲
I sure wish I had great family like you do, I sure did get the short end of the stick when God handed out great people for parents and disorders and brothers . Makes me shed a tear /and smile while watching you with your parents and wishing I had that in my life . Love you and your videos and happy Gotcha day to Max !!
I struggle with Facebook memories as well. I haven't been through a divorce so I can't imagine what you're feeling. But I went through an extremely hard time a few years ago (physically and emotionally). It got to a point where I couldn't look at the memories anymore. I ended up deleting the account altogether and starting afresh. Although now I'm not afraid to look at those photos, with those people. I hope one day those memories will stop being so painful for you.
I miss my mom so much. I’m glad you get to see your parents often. They’re so cute
Thank you, I love them so much 🥰
Idk how to explain this but the last few videos you have been looking more and more..I’m not sure the word but more beautiful? Like the true you is shining through now. You’re not being pushed away and you can just be you 100%. It is showing physically. Your inner beauty and new found happiness is radiating outward. It’s amazing watching your go through this transformation. I love your videos and just you as a person. You’re amazing and genuine. Thank you for these!
Maybe frame the Sweet like Honey sign. That would make it not as casual.
Hi michel! I just discovered you so I went back and started watching your vlogs starting when you moved back to Texas and omg hearing you share that you saw Jordy in concert…and now you’re dating him?! That’s soooo crazy cool. Loving the vlogs, thanks for sharing your life with us :)
Towels look luxurious! Whenever I get new towels, bedsheets etc I always like to wash them first before using them but they must have good quality and not have a sort of coating on them. Enjoy😊
Every time I watch one of your videos my husband starts singing the opening song and then goes “hi friends!”
Some of those memories hurt my heart for you. I am so proud of you Michel, and so happy that you have discovered the amazing woman you are. 💕 The hammock photo did me in...I remember the space it became for you as you worked on self care. All I can think/say is...look at you now! Your new safe space that has provided you with so much strength and self discovery; recognizing the value in self made joy. I am so dang proud of you, Michel! I wiped a tear as you wiped yours for the things that still sting, knowing that you are stronger in so many ways, and absolutely amazing! God bless 💕💕🙏
Watching your last video and this one started playing! I cried when I realised this is the video you meet Jordy and now you are married! I am so happy for you!
Forward two years...you are happy, found love, have a house. Still cool that concert started a new chapter for you and Jordy.
I just gotta say I’m always so thrilled to see you have a new upload! I’ve been subscribed for a long time now but honestly, since you’ve had such drastic changes in your life, it’s felt so much easier to relate and connect with your videos, even though I’m going through totally different things right now. I love your raw honesty and openness to being vulnerable! It’s so good for you and also sets a great example for other social media/TH-cam influencers. It’s also so awesome to see you grow into your new season every video ♥️♥️
I appreciate this so much, thank you Alana 🤍🤍🤍
Oh lord girl,you got me crying! You triggered a memory of mine leaving my house,my only real home that I loved ,I had all my kids,now they are all grown and have their own families ,feeling very alone,ugh anyway love your videos so much ,your parents are great and raised you so well
Sending big hugs your way, friend 🤍
Michel, I am just loving all of the content from you ❤ your so genuine and one of my favorite youtubers to watch! Thank you for always being so vulnerable with us!
Thank YOU for being here with me through all of it 🥰
Love the Sweet Like Honey sign! Maybe you need something to thread through the holes, instead of nailing the holes to the wall. Like twine, or a chain to loop through. It would give it more dimension, I think.
Interesting thought! Gallery walls are a life moodboard, I do believe! (P.S. Also love the new jacket in the Hello section!)
Ooooh I love this idea!!!!
Aww Was. lovley to see your parents again Great video. Pretty green colour hand-towels.🥰
Have a lovley sunday 🥰
Great times are times I sit and listen to you.
Love your close relationship with your mom and dad. Family is everything.
Happy Gotcha Day Max!!! Keep doing what you are doing. The highs and lows all make you who you are… which is AMAZING! Xx
There are some really great shelf styling things on pintrest including sizes of prints and stuff!!! You could also put the Sweet as Honey sign in a frame or something!!
Exactly what k was going to suggest! Great idea!
Love the idea of framing it with a nice mat border.
It's good to relive the hard moments. It helps to get through them and see how much stronger and resilient you are in the end, on the other side. Have been where u are. It gets better. Thanks for sharing. Your parents are adorable 💞. Keep pushing and being you girl! You got this. ❤️🌷🌷
..you're so lucky to have a parents so sweet and supportive and they're so chill..
Thank You for Sharing all aspects of your emotions. You absolutely don’t have to share anything. That said, this vlog will help so many that watch or happen to find you by accident (like myself). Happy Gotcha Day🐶
Your parents are adorable! I can see where you get kind spirit from. 💕
I always appreciate your vulnerability and I can’t wait to see you continue to flourish.
Memories hurt so bad. I remember things unintentionally every day😭 I wish you strength and power. Your not alone hurting. We feel with you❤️
You and your parents are absolutely ADORABLE, you are literally your mom’s twin and your sister looks just like dad😁🥰
Im sorry you’re hurting but a big thank you for sharing ❤️ I really appreciate your content!!
TH-cam suggested your channel a couple months ago and quickly started watching in no particular order. Saw this one early on and knowing what this might represents. The last month I’ve been checking your hand because I knew you and Jordy would end up together. I wanted to rewatch this and maybe you already knew but the song durning the concert “in love again” perfection! Congratulations!
Love your folks!
You are so real, raw and precious! Thank you for sharing all your life moments, valley’s and mountains with us! You are such a light! I love all your content! I lost my Daddy 2 weeks ago! Seeing you and your parents help ease my pain! 🥲🙏🏻
Aww it's Max's gotcha day 🥳💕!! Love you Max 🥰. I love seeing your mom & dad again!! You've been so blessed with great parents!! I'm sorry that you had to relive sad memories, I know that had to be tough for you. Praying for you 🙏. Oh by the way the towels look so rich & luxurious 👍👍. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
I love how much more you’ve been uploading videos 😭💗
Thank you for sharing those pictures with us ❤️
Showing love- keep doing you Michel! 🌷🌻
Crying! Mat Kearney's music saved me, he was the very first concert I ever went to. He walked through the crowd during a song and hugged me, then after he got back up on stage he pointed at me and sang a few lines! Best experience of my life!
I'm sooo happy to see you and at the same time I'm sad that this video has an end :(
Michel- I LOVE your parents (and you!) I don't have any family members who stayed married so seeing older couples that have been together since their 20s is so cute🥺
So happy that mom and dad are so close and so fun! That avocado toast was everything!! The amazing treats made me drool!
Michel, you shine from the inside out and I really want to thank you for sharing your joy.
I am trying that cornbread with a sugar free condensed milk for my own dietary restrictions because, AGAIN you made me drool!! 💕
Y’all are just the cutest family…your folks are cool..❤️💕
I think the Sweet Like Honey sign needs a wooden frame 🍯 also Mat Kearney, good choice!!
I think you’re right! That could really elevate it :-)
Same, I think a frame is needed, I love the sign 😍
I’m living for all these vlogs! Keep shining bright Michel. 💖✨
I love your parents!!!♥️♥️♥️
I love seeing Mae (not sure this is the right spelling) and max. They’re so adorable 🥰 what a blessing to have amazing supporting loving parents. Great fun vlog
I grew up with a hectic and haphazard home life that stressed me out. My aunt and uncle would always set up the day's plans for us when I spent time with them and I always liked that, so I find it really nice when Michel tells us what we're going to do in this vlog. 🥺🥺
Sweet like honey needs a frame I think
Thank you for sharing with us friend! I absolutely adore your dad.
Your mom looks so young and vibrant!
Loved this one!
I know I am just a stranger on the internet, just a German gal. But! I am so proud of you!!!!!! I had to do this as well, I know how difficult it is! I am sending you lots and lots of positive energy! I am watching every blog of yours while having coffee.
Your vlogs come in the late evening here in Germany, so I get excited when I see it, I know how my morning coffee is going to have.
You are a kind soul! Don’t let bad experiences ruin that. Ever.
Greets!
Laura
Love supporting your channel. Just bought a towel set!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love your vlogs!
Your dad has the most perfect accent! I really enjoyed the vlog. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your pictures. You’re doing great. Keep going. 🙏
Just a friendly reminder to wash your towels before you use them. We don't know how far they have travelled or how long and where they have been sitting. Most warehouses have rats and mice running around, or even irritating dust can get through the plastic covering if there was any. :)
I can't believe you ended up being engaged to the artist you introduced us to on this Vlog, when your heart was still fragile 💔 😮❤❤❤❤❤❤ WILD!!
Very sweet video. Love your parents, you’re so blessed with them. I’d get a frame for the honey sign!
That cornbread looks amazing😍
Another What We Said listener!!! I’ve been listening since the beginning! They are my fave.
I've seen him live before, love his music! Always puts me in the best mood
Cute 😍😍😍😍😍😍 love your honesty, thank you so much for sharing your journey ,sending you lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Words cannot express how much I adore your parents and I've never even met them-lol! Best parents EVER!!! :)
I love the Sweet Like Honey Sign over the shelf
I hope to be just like your parents some day. Also I really want those towels.
What a great weekend for you and video for us!!!XOXOXO
I really miss my Dad he always included family, even when he wanted alone time! He had a heart the size of Texas!
I follow all your videos since a long time and love listen and watch you . Just want to tell you I will always support you .
Ps love this video can’t wait to try this recipe thanks mom janse for me!❤️
Love this! 🥰🥰
You will have your dream house!! When that happens it will truly be your dream house. ❤
I remember both of those memories. And I remember being so happy for you to get your wish, and move into your dream home. I know things are a lot different now, but I also know that you'll find new and better dreams to fulfil.
Your parents are so sweet 😭😭😭
You should frame the sweet like honey picture in a bit of a fancy frame to up I’m the casualness
I also took pictures of the yard before moving out, similar to you I was only in the house for about 6 months before separating. This video took me down memory lane also . 😬
I love your channel 😊! Thank you for keeping it real when it comes to emotions. I also love your music recommendations..do you have a spotify you are willing to share?
That cornbread looks delicious!
I think the Sweet like Honey sign needs a frame!
You have inspired me to work on finding better friends. I’m moving soon and I’ve made a point to get apartment to help find friends that have coffee shops nearby.
The cardboard on the door is such a good idea, some of my cats always scratch the door so we definitely gotta do something like that
This is a nice content, combination of past memories and present happenings in your life that gives lessons and inspirations to the viewers.😃👍👍👍💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💞💞💞
🤗💗🌸 Happy Gotcha Day Max ! I Get seeing old pictures they bring the Feelings out 🌸 I came across an old Journal was like wow . I will have to Burn it someday 🔥 Glad you Had a Fun weekend ! I got to see My Niece she is your age we had a nice Dinner watched a movie 🥰
the Sweet like honey sign could do with something small and low in front of it to the left. Like maybe a little candle or a few small books. Like to pull it in and make it part of the group of items
Best vlogger ❤ I can't wait to visit Texas one day.
Love your videos
You should frame the “Sweet as Honey” sign
Love your vlogs🥰🤗❤
I choose to remember the good moments of my marriage. And not dwell on the upsetting ones. Although my son has the same sense of humor . Which makes not so nice things resurface, sigh! Like holding hands on walks and in church, Berry picking, wild blackberries , the first 2 weeks of being married, his face pressed to mine as I get a biopsy, rare hugs, oh some many tiny and big moments...
OMG!! Love the Sweet Like Honey!! I remember when you ordered it!! My name for my grand daughter is "Honey".. one day some one will ask her, "why do you call her honey"? And she will hopefully say, "because she's so sweet"!!
Just discovered your channel! You are a sweet girl!❤️
I am from Winnipeg, Canada but our son attended His Hill 2009-2011 and attended church in your hometown. We were there too on one of our visits. Small world.🌎
Such a great video. Love watching you spend time with your parents. The Sweet Like Honey is cute but maybe a bit small for the place you have it. Perhaps it would be better in the kitchen.
