Let me just say thank you for having the courage to share a piece of your personal life with us. Your story is truly a testimony. From the way that you met, to your grief, and your determination to keep it moving in spite of. I laughed so hard at the video that you guys did for Halloween and yall checked into the hotel😂...but I also chuckled and cried a bit on this one. Thanks for just being you and motivating a lot of us to try new things❤
Thank you so much for this comment and for watching! Being new to this, you really don't know if you're sharing too much too soon, so seeing comments like this reassures me that the videos are doing what I hoped they would do. So Thank you! 😇❤
Thank you for sharing your oldest son with us. Loss is hard. A layer of grief will take the air out of your lungs in a heartbeat, when you least expect it. I love that you think of him when you see a red bird.
Yes it is hard. And yes grief sometimes sneaks up on you out of nowhere. I am also grateful that he visits me in my dreams. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰
Thank you for opening up to us in this video 👋🏽. I’m sending you big HUGS. You touch my heart when you talk about your son. Never say your video is boring, it’s always a good time here. 🎉Friend yall be getting to close to that alligator water. 🤷🏽♀️Yall be making me nervous 😬.
Thank you for talking about your son. I have lost a son as well. He passed away in 1994 and hearing your words today just let me know that I am not alone. Thanks for sharing your story. It is ok to feel.
My hubby and I stumbled across your channel and we love it. Thank you for sharing about your son. My mom fell asleep in death in 2018. I miss her...❤ Revelation 21:3-5. Keep your videos coming we've subscribed.🥰
Thanks sharing your life with me. I was touched and I feel we are close friends now. I love how you guys stepped out on faith and changed your lives. It has motivated me to do it also. Love your videos I wanted to move to Florida also.
Our condolences! We lost our Soldier son in 2011. We too consider him visiting us when we see red birds. We recently had a red bird comebiin our garage and sit on our sons military gear while we pulled out our phone and tool a pic. That's just one of our many incidents
Oh wow that's amazing! 🥹 My condolences as well! It's a blessing to even be able to recognize those things. We are surrounded by so many signs and often don't pay attention. Thanks for sharing and for watching. God Bless 🥰
@livingthefloridalife. Another great video. Thank you for sharing your life. My condolences for your son. I understand how you feel. Grief is hard but God takes us through it. In 2019, I lost my husband from pancreatic cancer. We had been married for over 40 years (just shy of 41 years). I am so glad that you and your husband are living that good life that God has given you. Blessings.
Heyllo Your channel popped up about being monetized then I strolled over here.Nice to see state parks in our backyards.Look up and around you gators are not the only thing that climb.Florida has bears panthers racoons fox and all kinds of beast.Be careful carry you a stick and something to aid u while out there at these sites.You 2 are beautiful souls...New subbie hello
@@LivingthatFloridaLifeTV the best part is that the 2 of you are on the same page FYI Philip crabbing and wearing that Cowboy tshirt I was In...We live in South Florida Its such a Beauty state.We love fresh fish but don't fish much anymore.We just buy the fresh fish from a fisherman. I pick up blue live crabs at a fish market.I want to crab soo bad.I can eat blue crabs for bld 7days a week
I'm getting to that place too where I don't really like to fish as much and would rather just go buy it at the seafood market LOL But Phillip gone keep on trying so I guess I'll keep on going 😂 Thanks for watching!
Hi I really enjoy ur channel. Get you a small all screen pop up tent. That way you can sit outside without the bugs. I been watching you a couple of weeks.😄😄
Hey! I'm back again. You all live in the same area as us, I can tell! LOL at you & your hubby and the fishing. 47:55 - wow, your journey and testimony is very similar to ours. Our saying is this at this season in our lives "We have more time behind us than in front of us, so we should be grateful for the time we have left and live life fully"
I just recently found out about the rodeo in Jacksonville watching Glamping with the Cooper's. I used to go to black rodeo's in Oklahoma all the time growing up. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Enjoyed the versions of how yall met. 🤭 Always neat to hear couples’ stories. ☺️ Blackwater River SP is another great place we’ve been before we started YT. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming.
I love that campground y’all are in. God bless Phillip for having patience with his fishing. You two are too cute. Love you always worrying about the different critters in the woods, especially the alligators. They are scary, but I’d be more concerned with the water moccasins. 😮😊😮
Oh Lord 😩Now I'm going to be worried about the water moccasins too! 🤦🏽♀😅 yes it's my favorite campground when I just want to relax. Thanks for watching and for the warning! 😂
Thanks for sharing your story. Also a member of the club no one wants to belong to, Losing a child. Sometimes we just need to talk about them and remember. Love that you look for the light in things. Get Phillip some jigs for the days when liver bait isn’t working! 😀
Yes we do! I have been avoiding that conversation not wanting to burden anyone with my grief. But how can one be truly authentic and only show happy times? Thank you for watching and commenting! As far a Phillip, he's not trying to work to catch a fish! 😂
The stillness and seremity of nature at Blackwater River State Park provided the best backdrop for you to share a little more of yourselves with us. Coco and Phillip, I feel that this video is your best yet. For me, this is the one that truly distinguished your channel, for as much as your delicious dinners and homemade pb inspired my culinary side, your personal stories nourished my soul. How ironic - the video in which no fish were caught is the one that reeled me in! You are now appointment viewing in my house. I thank you, and may the red bird continue to guide and inspire you both. Safe travels❤🙏🏾👍🏾
LOST MY BOY TOO BUT IT ALL IS IN THE RAINBOW PLAN OF GOD!! I HEARD GOD SAY HIGH WORSHIP IS JUST LICKIN THE SPOON OF HIS GLORY!!!! CANT IMAGINE HOW BIG HE IS AND OUR BOYS ARE HIS! WE ARE LEFT BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO YET!!! YOUR TESTIMONY IS YOU ARE MOVING ON AND PLEASING HIM....THATS THE RED BIRDS...HIS SMILE!!!
Aww thank you so much! My condolences for your loss. And I totally agree! I am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to spend the 28 years with him that God gave me. We must go on and show that God is the Master Planner! Love this comment! God Bless you! 🥰❤🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing and so sorry for the loss of your son 😢 Both of you seem so easy going that’s it’s calming to watch and live vicariously through your camping adventures!
Thanks for sharing. My condolences to you❤ love your videos. Can you do a storyline about the 5000 on ur guys pocket when yiu moved to Florida. Like the process for us looking to start fresh in Florida. Thank you.❤
Thank you! ❤ I explain it some at the end of this video. th-cam.com/video/rPi1GLE4k44/w-d-xo.html But I could definitely do a video going more in depth. 🥰
Ok I think it starts around the 15:40 mark. If there are more specifics you would like to know, just comment in that video and I will try to answer. 😊 Is one of my first videos so 😅
I really love you guys!!! Awesome sharing, when you mentioned the loss of your son, I felt so sad. I spray for your peace. Your videos are awesome!!! Keep ‘em coming!!! I sit and watch y’all for hours!!! Love y’all!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I was hesitant about sharing it because I didn't want to make anyone feel sad. 🥹 But we are all in this together right? ☺Sending love right back to you! Thanks for commenting! 🥰
Thank you! ☺I'm not sure. I use Epidemic Sound. I usually just put in certain key words and just go through songs until I find one that fits. Lol You can sign up for a 7-day free trial here share.epidemicsound.com/sg9154
Hey guys. Thanks for your vids. My wife and I wanna be just like ya'll. Lol. Question... how are you towing your trailer with that jeep??? You must be maxed out with towing capacity! Make sure you're not. Your transmission can go.
Hey! Tow capacity for the jeep 7500 and the trailer is 6200, we don't have a lot of extra but we have enough for camping locally 😄 Thanks for watching! 🥰
Gurl alligators. I would hve had some cow bells on a rope not string cause wind can blow the string.and tied it across on some trees.over by that open area where the fence ended.gurlll yall brave.. I would have had Tourette's Syndrome always yanking my head over there to look and see what's coming in that open space lol😮😢😊😊😊
Can't alligators walk up to where you are parked now? Just wondering, what is wrong with yall! OMG! Yall just throw caution to the winds! But you make great videos when you go on cruises!,Lol! Girl, you make me laugh! Everything you say has a comedic tone! You always been that way?
Yep just being myself 😂 But believe me, it's not as dangerous as you may think. Alligators aren't just out walking around or I would not be out there! 🤣😂🤣 Thank you for watching and commenting! 😆
So the red bird you're talking about is the Cardinal the females cover dusty rose feather in the mail cardinals are beautiful brilliant bright red. So in my opinion that's your son going along with you both on your journey. That's no cause to be sad or depressed every time you see the red cardinal you can feel your son's love that is the happiest thing in the world with me I see my mom in butterflies. 💜🩵💚🕊️🦋
