Welcome back family! Sorry for leaving yall hanging but WE OFFICIALLY LEFT CALIFORNIA!
I’m here with you your new family and I can’t wait for new house
❤️❤️
Columbus is a beautiful city in Ohio. My brother left Dayton, OH and moved to Columbus, OH, and has been there for about 19 years now. I live in Centerville, OH (1 hour west of Columbus). I've lived in OH all my life, and love it here. Welcome to Ohio.😊
You're not going to want to leave Columbus. 😊
We moved to Columbus from Cali 2 years ago!
Welcome to Ohio been here all my life. You learn to love the lady bugs and being close to nature. The only cons are driving on ice in the winter. It’s a beautiful state, start a garden and just enjoy. The seasons changing are beautiful; the colors in the fall are unmatched!
My husband moved us to, Columbia Ohio years ago due to his family business, best moved ever 😊 I agreed to move one request from me that we relocated to the top school district, he made it happen my 3-kids grew up in Bexley graduated from there went onto college 2-have their masters 1-has his bachelor. Great school district if you’re looking for one also small town in the heart of, Columbus close to downtown . Best of luck to you and your family!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! God bless you guys
Welcome to Ohio beautiful family @HourPointOfView
Welcome to Columbus and Ohio. You will love it. Great zoo's, water parks, science museums, state parks, festivals and small towns w/ local ice cream shops and pizza parlors.
We look forward to it all 😀
I live almost 3 hrs from Columbus but if you guys ever get the chance you should visit hocking hills I think it’s 57 minutes from Columbus. It’s beautiful and peaceful. Welcome to Ohio ❤
Thank you! I keep hearing about that area.
I want to visit Hocking Hills learned of this area 3 years ago haven't visited yet maybe I'll try get their this summer thanks
Welcome to ohio im 2 hrs away
Blessings 😊
Columbus is BOOMING! Welcome to the home of the Buckeyes!
Welcome to Columbus! One of the most underrated places to live in the United States.
Thank you! We did a lot of research and we’re loving our decision thus far
FACTS!
So true! So true! I love my city and state. Go Bucks! ❤
From elementary school to adulthood, it's heartwarming to see how far you both have gone and achieved in life. I lived in Ohio many years ago. I hope you spend nights stargazing and winters having snowball fights with your girls! I'm happy for your journey and thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much Jen! This means a lot! It’s such a blessing to still be connected to people I grew up with. I didn’t know you lived here before. I think I remember you being on the other coast.
But yes we look forward to star gazing! I don’t even think my little ones have really seen the stars like that so that’s going to be dope! But thank you for sharing and watching us, we appreciate the support ❤️
Welcome to Columbus… take your girls to Cosi… downtown Columbus.❤🙂🙏🏻☮️
If you're looking for a church in Columbus, Ohio, I recommend Garden City and the head pastor is Gerald Murphy. One of my really good friends and probably one of the most prolific leaders, I know.
Thanks hun! I’ll definitely look into it 😃
Also check out New Salem Missionary Baptist Church where Dr. Keith A. Troy is pastor!
And I just took a second look at the pastor’s name you mentioned and went and did a quick google search. I totally grew up with him and his sister, she was one of my best friends!! I always wondered what direction he went after graduating!! I love to see him succeed and walking in what God has for him! ❤
We moved to Ohio 2 years ago and love it. It’s called a Bay window in your living room. Welcome to Ohio.
Thank you !
Congratulations on your new home!! 🎉❤ Owning land is a huge deal and I can already tell the house is going to be stunning with the renovations!
Thank you! We are so excited to renovate! Stay tuned 😊
@@HourPointOfView take ur time I know ur anxious. ❤
Welcome to Columbus Ohio
Buckeye Nation
Thank you! ☺️
Whoever had this home prior took great care of it....I would sooooooo keep the vintage appliances.
It sat for 20+ years. These appliances work so good! Way better than all the new appliances I’ve ever owned
Congratulations on the move! Beautiful property!!
Thanks Ryanne! I have to call Ben and catch him all up on the move
Don't get rid of those trees.You'll just have more lawn to mow. They are beautiful and a great place for kids to play. Welcome to Columbus!
Thank you ! 😊
And beautiful fall photo props
I got rid of so much stuff when we got down to the wire and had to depart from my house, I was giving so much away for free. Riding lawn mower, washing machine, kayaks, LP tanks, treadmill and a lot more. I just kept thinking it would be cheaper to replace than to get another U-box. Turns out by the time I got to Ohio and realized I had so much gone I began looking into replacing those things given away and low and behold everything was far more expensive than when I initially bought them. I didn’t consider the inflation factor.
OMG! I just came across this video. My family of four (plus fur baby) moved from California (Inland Empire) to a Columbus suburb 4 years ago right during the pandemic. Brings back memories watching this. Welcome to Columbus!
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing! We’re from the IE TOO! Talk about small world. So far we’re loving it! Completely different from Rancho and Fontana area
Omgosh!! We are moving from Arcadia to the IE…. My adult kids would love to move outta state, I wouldn’t know what state and where to start.. Bumped into your video glad I did😊, it will give me some content as to what to look into.
In 2018, my husband, daughter and I moved from Northern CA to the Dayton, OH area. It was the best move we ever made! Hope all goes well for you. Blessings, Janell
All these comments love Ohio and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been here my whole life and you’ll love it. There’s so much to do here. The four seasons are wonderful. Welcome to Ohio
Thank you for the welcome! We look forward to all of the seasons 😃
Welcome to Columbus!! We've been here for almost 20 years and love it!! Ohio has the best parks and a wonderful zoo!!
Cual es la cuidad más tranquila y económica en columbus?
Welcome to Ohio! Just fyi, if you’re not football fans, the absolute best time to go into Columbus for anything is during the football games. I’m so excited for your family! 🙂
Yes. When I lived there that's when I used to do my grocery shopping. As soon as buckeye games started. 😂
Thanks for the tips! I’m football fan so I look forward to it all
Welcome to Columbus Ohio, I was born and raised here. There's lots to do for families here, and be sure to explore all of Ohio, especially up north near Lake Erie, it's beautiful.
Facts Pittsburgh Cleveland and Cincinnati are all drive able
@@raymayo7044 also the Hocking Hills area is very scenic and has a lot of natural beauty.
Thank you! Will do! We plan on doing a lot exploring once we get settled with our home. I know our friends and family from Cali want to see what Ohio is all about.
Thank you! 😊
When you upgrade your kitchen, keep all the green vintage appliances/range hood together to resell.
Welcome to Columbus, Ohio! I love it here! I hope you don't mind all of the seasons at once! Lol!
Thank you and we’re loving all the seasons in a day! Main reason we moved here 😊
I hear it here. The people are rude, it’s way to liberal and horrible with crime
Welcome to Ohio, an underappreciated state. Grew up here and could not wait to go to college elsewhere. Ended up back in Ohio after college, married and moved to 6 different locations across 3 eastern states. Came back to Ohio 6 years ago to be near family and am glad I did. Love the 4 seasons! Ohio has many great local school districts, parks, museums, sports teams, colleges, lakes, businesses, farms, fairs, and people. I hope you love Columbus!
Thank you! It’s been a huge blessing being here already and we look forward to all of the adventures
Congrats and welcome to the Midwest!
Thank you ☺️
Been in Columbus for 5 months from TX. Family of 5 too! Love this!❤
Oh wow! What made yall choose Ohio?
Love your new home and all of the land. Definitely the downgrade in the bathroom is such a non-issue because of all of the amazing living space that you now have plus closets galore. So glad that Gia is feeling better. I cannot wait to see what all you do with the land and your house It’s so awesome to see God bless us with the desires of my heart
I totally agree! I’m just so eager to get everything done but I know it was take time so I’m going to enjoy what I can now 😃

Thank you for tapping in and welcoming us, it means A LOT! 😃
Sorry, to comment multiple times but y’all’s home is lovely and the view is amazing! The little clip of baby girl’s feet going up the steps were just adorable… 🥰 🌻🫶🏽🙏🏽♥️
lol it’s all good , I appreciate the engagement. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to open up the backyard when the trees get chopped down. My baby is growing too fast 😔
Beautiful!! Love your new home!! Hope Jia is feeling better now. Take your time. Everything will fall in place in due time. God Bless and Love you all!! As always can’t wait to see what you share next!! 🥰
Thank you! We’ll trying to take it easy but we do motivated to get things done. In due time we’ll be living the extra slow life ❤️

I just move from Minnesota to Columbus Ohio! Living in Dublin. So far is not bad, traffic isnt as bad as the twin cities.
I’m planning to move to Dublin next summer
Nice!
I can’t stand traffic! So far I haven’t seen any traffic here that remotely close to Los Angeles
@@misslocdnloaded Dublin is absolutely beautiful.
I'm so happy for yall! Dreams do come true! Peace and blessings ❤
Thank you ! This means a lot ❤️
Welcome to Columbus. I am so happy to see another TH-camr here. You have a beautiful family and you will find that Columbus is an amazing City for family life. (I raised my 3 sons here and they had the best childhood ever, according to them!😍). Perhaps we will run into each other one day... out here Vlogging!!! If you have any questions about the city... please feel free to reach out. ❤❤❤ Not sure of your exact location... but Blacklick Woods in Reynoldsburg (east suburb) was my kids favorite place to go. They have playground areas, Nature trails marked with mile markers and much more. We love it there, its been our safe and friendly outdoor environment for our family ...3 generations in!
Welcome to Columbus. Moved here from Maryland 5 years ago to be with my husband. Columbus has been good to me.
This is a dream! So happy for your family..and I’m praying you guys get a like more settled soon. It’s so tough with little ones.🫶🏽
Thank you so much!! It’s really tough! Jeremi and I started unloading our trailer a couple of days ago and we’re almost done. Definitely a lot lol
Praying the best for you guys. Hope it’s more than great for y’all.💙💙💙

Welcome to Ohio. I recently moved from NY 9 months ago and I am still adjusting. It was definitely a big move. No regrets!! I used the same car shipping company for my car.
Best of luck! I hope your family will be happy in your new home. No wildfires!
Thank you!
Very nice and everything is looking beautiful but when you guys was outside all i could think of was that view of the upstairs loft balcony and i was worried about Bookie GG you guys please be careful… Congrats again…😘❤️
Yea we can’t wait until those trees are cut down so we can really see our property 😃
Beautiful estate ! Congrats on such a beautiful homestead! Blessings
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on the house ! I love it that’s definitely my vibe such a blessing to have land !!

Welcome to Ohio! ❤ hope you all love it here and continue to be blessed!
So exciting!! Congratulations again ❤
Thank you!!
Born and raised here.
Welcome to Ohio!
Those ‘vintage’ appliances. When (if) you replace them when you renovate, there is a market for people who would buy them.
Best of luck. ❤
@@deboz8793 thank you for the info! Happy Friday!
Ian in LOVE with you OVENS, BAY WINDOWS, FIRE PLACE, the whole house is beautiful!! It is a diamond in the rough! Blessings to you all!!
Thanks so much!
Welcome to Ohio!!! Beautiful country home!!! I live rural Ohio, always loved hearing the rooster in the morning!!! GBYA
Thank you! My neighbor has a few roosters so we hear them ALL DAY. Plus all the birds ☺️
Looking 👀 great slowly but surely proud of y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ☺️
Beautiful home and that backyard it’s a dream!!
Thank you! We can’t wait to work on it
It’s a bay window and it’s Beautiful
Thank you ☺️
It looks like my window, it’s called a bow window. Bow windows have 4-6 panes, while bay windows have less. So pretty, ours is wood too.
Welcome to Columbus Ohio. ❤️🥳
Thank you ☺️
With that much room to extend the house (should you want to) a smaller bathroom is not much of an issue. Beautiful home with GORGEOUS views 😍 ✨️
Right! It just going to take some adjusting but I’m definitely happy 😃
Thank you for the love ☺️
Yes, with so much land you have so much opportunity to extend
Thanks for mentioning your car transport company (SGT) because I am looking as well. How was the process? Side note: Please keep those lovely kitchen appliances😊
You’re welcome! The process was smooth. They dropped it off a day earlier than expected so that was a blessing. I loved the fact that we were able to fly and not have to worry about driving across the world with 3 kids
Love the home cuz ! Enjoy the journey with the family ❤
Thank you! Will do! ❤️
Welcome to Ohio! I also live in Ohio moved from New Jersey. Best decision we made. Beautiful family.
Welcome to Columbus, Ohio!!!
Thank you ☺️
And there goes our city.
What do you mean by that?
Yayyyy I’m here watching while working ❤❤❤
That’s right! We appreciate you 😊

Hey!! Thank you so much for the love! We look forward to taking you along our journey ❤️
Welcome to Cbus! Your new home is beautiful🤍 been here my entire life and Ohio is genuinely a great place to raise a fam😊
Hello, first time watching your video. I moved to Columbus in 2013. It was nice and I enjoyed it. We no longer live there because we want to be a bit closer to family, but we still live in Ohio. I hope you enjoy it here and cannot wait to hear more about your experience.
Thanks for sharing! So far it’s been a blessing
So Beauitful.❤ The landscape ❤ the peacefullness .. home just so Nice..
Thank you so much 😊
Oh nooo I hope she feels better. 28:46
Thank you! she’s doing much better, don’t know what got her like that
So happy to find your channel, I’m a family of 7 plus 2 fur babies moving from Pittsburgh PA to the south. This vlog is making me so excited ❤
Congrats to y’all !
Hey!! Thank you for checking us out! Wow family of 7 🤯. We would love to shoot for a boy but 3 kids is rough at times lol especially because they are close in age
I am from Columbus, Ohio... Welcome... But when you move, you have to declutter before the movers get there... I moved a year ago, and I ordered dumpers to get rid of what I did not want and saved a lot of money...
We did . The problem is we had a brand new house with a lot of storage. Our new house is actually bigger but built in 1978 so storage is just different. Our old kitchen had like 12 drawers, this one has 2
Welcome to Columbus! I am originally from the “state up north” (I can already hear the boooo’s). Came here for college and ended up married to a Buckeye. I’ve been here for over 30+ years and I can say, the city has seen a lot of changes, both good and bad. I enjoy my life here but will be retiring soon and we are making plans to move to FL. You have a cute family and a nice home with a lot of character. Newly subscribed and wishing you and your family many blessings as you adjust to your new life here in OH.
I currently live in Tampa. Born and raised in Circleville. I suggest thinking twice before moving to FL. Traffic sucks, property and auto insurance is the most expensive in the nation. Rents and real estate are 30-40% higher than Columbus and politics is a joke.
WELCOME TO COLUMBUS, OHIO! Your vlog came up. I clicked and noticed you were coming to the capital of OHIO! 🎉
I am a new subscriber now! 🥰
Hey !! Thank you for checking us out
Welcome! This is home for me and I just got suggested video from you all, when you say California an all its beautiful landscape I get excited… 😎I’ll have to go back and check out your videos to catch up a little, I want to help support your family so I’m going to hit the subscriber button lol! 😂 God bless tfs 👍🏾💕✌🏾
Awesome! Thank you! We liked California, however, were at a new stage in our life and what we want (slower living , land, 4 seasons, etc) California isn’t the right place for us
Holy moly! We had that same wallpaper in your 1/2 bath, in our 1/2 bath 4O years ago lol
We were in a St. Louis suburban city then. For some reason I really liked that wallpaper. Thanks for the home tour! Btw, adorable family 😁
Wow are you serious!? lol I guess this was the 1/2 bath special. thank you ☺️
Such a lovely home ❤ it sucks you guys had so much trouble getting there
Thank you! Yes it was an headache but we got what we prayed for so it’s a blessing and a huge win 😊
Now why these people ain’t bring car seats 🙄
You guys seem so calm traveling with the kids 😅 great teamwork.
I can’t wait for the renovations. Love the loft area/playroom for the girls.
25:11 that back yard 😍😍😍😍 breathtaking.
I was hot!!! I don’t play when it comes to my kids’ safety. That company is lucky we’ve been busy because they definitely would’ve heard from me.
Thanks but it’s not always calm. We have our moments for sure lol
Girl I can’t wait either lol I’m so anxious to get everything done
I love the appliances. I bet they last forever too!
They are from 1978 and they work better than any new appliances I’ve ever had
I actually loved them 😄
Huge basement/tornado shelter!
That’s right 😊
Welcome to Columbus, I truly hope you all enjoy! Your channel was just suggested to me today but you’ve got a new subbie!
Hey!! Thank you for the love! We appreciate you subscribing! Look at TH-cam coming thru for us lol
@@HourPointOfView I’m intrigued to see Columbus from an outside in prospective as a native but your family seems absolutely delightful. Can’t wait for the journey. I really hope this becomes a place you consider home 💛
Wishing you the best of everything.❤
Thank you ☺️
You can tell this is an authentic family channel because children are always wildin out in the background. 😂 You got a sub from me. Glad to support other Columbus creators.
That part! They won’t let us be great! Lol appreciate the support 💪🏿
We too moved from California to Ohio.. Milford. Love it!
So cool!
New subscriber here! I moved from Columbus Ohio to Washington State 2017 with my 7yr old….bringing back so many memories. I did make that 30+ drive we just took 4 days mall of America and Mt Rushmore. Congratulations! Building a village is a doozy but my village is so solid here. I’ll be praying for your village!
Thank you! And that’s definitely a big move! We thought about just driving and taking our time but with 3 kids would’ve been a headache lol. I’m sure our family will follow us out here so it’s only a matter of time. But for now, we both work from home so we are our village ❤️❤️
PS The ladybugs= good luck! They are welcoming you to your new home/state 😊
Welcome to Ohio
Thank you ☺️
Y’all have a beautiful place , congratulations on your move 👏🏻
Thank you so much 🤗
Welcome to Ohio go bucks! Fall is best time of the year.
Thank you! We look forward to seeing the beauty 😃
Love the new home ❤
Thank you ☺️
I work for McKesson/CoverMyMeds and I am relocating to Columbus next year from Florida
Nice! That’s a good move
Great pick, may continue to bless you.
Thank you ❤️
Best wishes to this beautiful family.
Thank you! God bless you ❤️
Are you enjoying your 1 st Fall in Columbus??. I moved to Akron from Sacramento in August 2022. Im so happy i did. Ive been back a couple of times to Cali, but i feel sorry for fellow Californians because of the high rents, and people cant buy homes. Then because of all the fires, no
insurance. I just saw extremes either very rich or very poor. So many taking up blocks of people living in rvs or cars. I grew up in Cali all my life, but i knew i had to move after a major fire, in order to have the lifestyle i was used to. You all are so welcome to beautiful Ohio. !!!!🎉❤😊
welcome to Ohio
Sister had same problem with lady bugs. She put eucalyptus leaves and branches by windows, doors, and in each room.. The lady bugs left. Also, she steamed essential oils (including eucalyptus) to keep them out once they were gone.
We do the same with the essential oils. We got a new front door and all new windows plus caulked a lot of open gaps and it’s been a huge difference. Plus pest control comes weekly
Welcome to Ohio! I am born and raised in Cincinnati, then moved to Lewis Center (north of Columbus) 28 years ago, and now finally in Stoutsville (25 minutes just south east of Columbus, and quite rural). I love OH. Lots to do! Definitely check out Hocking Hills area if you love state parks and hiking and be sure to check out Old Man's Cave while you are there. The best time of year to visit is Fall when the leaves are changing. Another must see area is Amish Country (Holmes County, OH), Lots of Amish families and great thrift stores where you can still find really good bargains.
My sister lives in Stoutsville. 16th. Road
@@JeffBrown-pb5qr small world!
Wow this the smartest title I have read.... been telling my family for years to just leave. Like why stay somewhere where the cost of living is so high. Makes noe sense. ❤ S/o to ur family. Blessings 🙌🏾
Great channel. Welcome Family. You will will have your snow soon enough I’ll bet . Columbus weather is a little biPolar😅
Thanks we appreciate it! And bipolar is an understatement lol we’re loving it tho
I live in the C.O. been here over 30 years and my husband was born here! Very affordable and it’s a metropolitan city! 🤞🏾
Can’t beat it 😃
Welcome to my neck of the woods. I’m not in Columbus but close enough. I hope you love it here.
Hey! Thank you! We are loving it so far 😀
