I don’t know how to explain that, but your vlogs from AZ house during pandemic bring me the nostalgia. They were just my comfort videos back then. Have never missed a vlog ever since. So happy you are back! Wish you and Drew all the best! ❤ Hope that the family member situation will be better each day!
I miss these vlogs but also understand not wanting to share everything with the internet! I just love the cozy feeling I get with vlogs and watching people do similar things to me like grocery shopping is relaxing ☺️
The fact you got your old house back is pretty cool. Familiarity tends to help with a change. But I’m sorry it’s not for the best of reasons but honestly it’s amazing that you can take your jobs wherever you need/ want to. ❤
Everyone who had to move back in with family during or after the pandemic understands that feeling of “not where I want to be but where I need to be” it’s tough but hopefully has enough benefits to outweigh the disappointments
I had a feeling AZ was a strong possibility after Carrie mentioned the old house was available again. That was a good house and will be a great stopping point for now!
I feel like us 10+ year subs have seen you transition through so much that we’ve evolved to a place where you’re the friend that we might not see for a while, but when we do it’s like it was yesterday, and that is worth celebrating 💕 sending love to your family and how cool that you were able to move back into your old place! Looking forward to hearing how it is all going if and when you share ✨🤍
I needed this. I've lost my job and haven't been able to find a new one for 6 months. We are moving back to our home state in to my in-laws basement and I feel so many feels about it. I'm so thankful we can avoid homelessness because of the generosity of family. But it feels like a step back to move away from the state we love and built our family because I'm failing at finding work. It's comforting to hear from others going through similar things.
Hi fellow Abigail ❤ just here to say that careers are not linear. My best friend was in a similar situation and after a hard year she is stepping into a role she’s excited about and moved into an apartment. A year out she and I have had so many conversations about how this chapter, while painful, taught her so much about herself and instilled some major resilience. She is doing better and I bet you will be too. I’m rooting for you, this too shall pass. You’ve got this ❤
Carrie is back!!! Missed you girl 💛 I understand and respect your thoughts and feelings about vlogs. Share whatever you are comfortable with and we’ll love you for it :) Good vibes to you and your family 💛💛
I genuinely hope everyone in your families are ok, and I'm sure it's a comfort to them to have you and Drew nearby again. I hope this ends up being a good thing for you two. ❤
As someone who once had to do a similar “need to be here but don’t necessarily want to be here” type of move, I’m sending all the good vibes and support to you, Drew, and your families! Those sort of life phases aren’t easy, but I’m glad you were able to find a soft, familiar place to land for the time being with the old house. ❤
I am so sorry to hear that your family is struggling with health problems. So glad that you can be there for them! What a blessing. Sending prayers and positive vibes your way!
1. Positive Vibez sent; 2. You are glowing! 3. So many ways to be snowbirds I don't own, have no kids, and have no lease, I rent AirBNB monthly for 6M - 1yr. Working remotely allows me to do this for travel. Airbnb is my monthly rent and the only way I can afford this.
Hey Carrie, totally understandable about wanting to be a little bit more private, especially since there's family stuff going on. Since these last 2 years have flown by, you'll be back in LA in no time! Hope things get figured out asap and the heat in AZ chills out soon. So funny you got the same house tho, lol. Thanks for the update! Take your time!
When you talked about being in a place that felt like it’s not where you wanted to be, but it’s where you should be makes so much sense and I totally feel that right now. It’s nice to know. I’m not the only one.
i’ve missed your vlogs so much! and i can totally relate to not wanting to share much of your personal life at all especially involving other people. and with that navigating vlogging can be a bit tough so take your time figuring out what to share! wishing you guys the best in this little chapter of life!
It wasn't until I was in my early 40s that I was able to make a move where we were able to live where we wanted to be geographically. It's a wonderful privilege and something I am grateful every day. You'll get that opportunity again!
You aren’t kidding about health issues. I was diagnosed with leukemia in February. It’s been crazy. Sorry you are dealing with that. ❤ I hope AZ treats you well.
So happy you’re back! Totally appreciate needing to take space for yourself. The 30’s truly have been a rollercoaster for us all (36 yo here) and it’s not always the easiest stage of life. Sending you lots of good vibes and hope the new (old) house brings you guys lots of happiness and peace 💖🌈
I am one of those people who think that the amount that you move is wild! It stresses me out to no end! It’s so impressive to me that you can accomplish something so hu. When it comes to where I live, I stay put as much as possible! I still call my current place my “new apartment” and I’ve been living here since 2021! And that move almost ended me. 😂😂😂 So much love to you and Drew on this new journey! ❤❤❤
I'm so pleased to see you posting a Vlog, but we so understand the need for fluidity with vlogging. We love them, but you have to do what's right for you. The ones of us who genuinely love you and want the best for you (and drew) will be here waiting whenever you pop up. You'll be welcomed with a hug and warmth every time from us! I really hope whatever you are going through at home is okay and wish you all the best with it. Nothing but love and the upmost respect always! 🤍
I audibly gasped with joy when I saw that you posted here. I miss the coziness and FaceTiming a friend feeling of the vlogs, but I/we absolutely understand why you are taking a break from this channel. I can absolutely relate to living somewhere that you need to be but don’t want to be. Sending love and positive thoughts to you, Drew, and your families. We will be here whenever you’re ready 💛
My sister and brother-in-law moved to nor cal specifically like 8 years ago now, and I just loved out of my midwestern state last year, and wow. Life is legitimately SO MUCH BETTER in California. My last state felt like a dead end. No opportunity. People weren’t happy but no one wanted to change anything. Everyone expects you to grow up, get married, have kids, and just work every day the rest of your life, and I’m just like hellll nahhhh!!🫶🫶🫶
I live at the beach and always get so jealous of the snowbirds who can come and go! if you can make that happen for yourself, do it! welcome back and all the positive vibes to you and your family :)
So I know that you and Drue really love LA. So I am about to be 39 and love my quiet I wanna live in a quiet neighborhood, but I also live in a big city. This is just my opinion you can take it or leave it, but I think for what you guys are liking might need to live slightly outside of LA to get that quiet that you like, but still have access to LA.
California is great but you guys cutting your rent in half moving back to AZ is amazing! Think of all the traveling you can now do with the extra funds! Sending good vibes for yalls mental states though. I myself have not been in a good place for the last two months so I completely understand and I hope you are both giving yourselves grace. Not sure what personal situation is going on but as someone that has an elderly father I completely get it. I loved your content in AZ so I am excited to see it again. ♥️ Also I’m so jealous of how you always decorate your spaces everytime you move!! I move a lot too but I never hang up pictures or decorate because I know it’s temporary but maybe I should get out of that mindset. I would love to hear your thoughts on decorating spaces even though you know you won’t be staying in them permanently.
Oh my goodness Carrie, I could not possibly relate to you more currently. 11 months ago my husband and I moved from Southern California to South Carolina. We were so excited about the move and absolutely loved being here. We planned a future here and I found a fantastic job. But we are moving back in 2 weeks for the exact same reason as yourself. Time with our family is so precious, and this year has truly taught me that our health is the most important thing in life. Wishing your family member a full recovery 💕 LA will see you again soon!
Having been a caregiver and support for family members, I totally get what you are saying. So glad everything worked out with your old place. Perhaps that is why nothing was working in LA with finding a new apartment. Sending love and good thoughts to you and your family. You did the right thing!
I live through you every time you move back to AZ! I’ve been in CA for 10 years now and I’ve been dying to go back home for years!! We’re finally moving back next summer!!
Your thoughts and feelings are valid! I totally understand how vlogging can be difficult when you have boundaries you want to honor. I support you no matter what you choose. :) thinking good thoughts for you and family. I hope AZ treats y’all well. ❤️
Is it possible to grow vegetables in Arizona? You guys were so happy with your peppers and tomato plants, maybe it would help you appreciate your newfound space by getting your hands in some dirt
It’s so incredible how the universe puts obstacles in your way when you aren’t going in the direction you need to be at in the current time. We all need to stop fighting it and start embracing them as a sign.
13:30 I will send love, good vibes and prayers for you and your family ❤️🩹 Moving can so stressful, especially unexpectedly (we had to move rapidly due to a new custody agreement with my ex, so I feel the “not where we want to be, but where we should be” moment) but I hope the serendipity in the situation of being able to return to not only a state you have some roots in, but a home you made memories in 💕 I always remind myself that chapters begin and end and I hope for the best in this new season for you guys ✌🏼 and ❤️ from TX.
I hope your family member recovers soon. I live where I do for Dad I hate my city. It's cold it's miserable and very career limiting. We own a house so I'm stuck. Move around as much as you want it's your life. I would love to be able to
i can totally empathize with the sudden move to somewhere you didn’t imagine yourself- had to move halfway across the country for my partner’s sick dad. sending you and your family so much love and hoping you can make the most of it! longtime silent viewer and fan of yours, but love to see you back ❤️
We moved in with my in laws for 6 months while we figured out where we were meant to be! It’s so important in an overall journey! We are now in our dream home in our dream area! All the good vibes your way! You’ve got this!
Your vlogs are seriously my favorite, I think because we have similar personalities so it feels like a FaceTime with a friend. BUT also, a million times over, take the time you need for you and your family. Be super private, that is so important!! The internet fortunately and unfortunately will be here forever!! Thank you for being my little TH-cam comfort videos! You truly make me feel not so alone by just being you and being vulnerable (but don’t ever feel like you have to!!) ❤
This hits a little close to home for me 🥺. I hope you guys and your families are alright and you're able to spend all the quality time you can. Time is so precious. I just suddenly lost my mom and it truly changes your brain chemistry. I'll be thinking of you all 💖.
I completely relate to living in a place where I don’t really want to be but definitely should for the time being. It’s tough but feels good to just give into that and enjoy what you can while you can! That’s been my mantra to get me through to the next adventure!
Welcome back to AZ 💜 totally understand not sharing everything, whatever you are comfortable with is what you should do even if people complain. Sending all the love to you and your family too! 💜
Hi Carrie! Missed your vlogs, but it sounds like a break was very much needed! I have been watching your vlogs since you lived in the house in AZ the first time. I would love to see an updated house tour vlog!
I definitely can relate to not posting about personal on the internet anymore. I had a major life change in February and a friend of mine was offended that I wasn’t sharing about it. I was like be hurt then not everything has to be public. On top of family health issues as well. 2024 needs to chill out. I’m sending you good vibes!
I love that Arizona house. I’m looking forward to seeing it again! I’m sure it’s weird for you and Drew to be back there, but hopefully also feels like a safe landing given why you’re there.
This is just a season of your life! I love your vlogs , and normally don’t comment much but had to say the people that matter will be around to support you on here. Take time to be with your loved ones! Sending all the good juju to them and whatever situation is going on in your families! ❤also love your dress in this video , where is it from ?
I left LA, where I’ve lived my entire life, six months ago for family. It’s a good decision but I miss LA with my whole heart and I don’t know when I can/if I will ever move back. But you’ll be back, I just know it.
Oh, it’s wonderful to hear you on the blogs again. Praying for your family for health and safety. How exciting to see your home in Arizona again. Love the big kitchen and the huge bathroom that you guys had in that house. Wishing the best for you take care.
I never clicked on a video so fast! 🩷 I always understand you needing space but these are my favorite videos of yours! Sending you all the lover and prayers for good health for you and your family members! Love you both! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I really hope you and your family are ok, but totally understand you not wanting to share everything online 🤗. I've only been watching your videos for a few months, so don't know much about you but I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! x
I moved so many times in my life for various reasons.. I always kind of envied people who lived in the same place their whole life (here in Germany many people do not move a lot). But on the other hand I could not imagine spending my whole life in one place. I have been living in my current apartment for three years now, as I have a kid now I am not as flexible with moving anymore. But I do not think this place is where I will stay for the rest of my life. I would love to move closer to my parents as they are getting older and there may be health issues in the future. So I fully understand your current situation. Sending lots of love and prayers to your family from Germany 💓
So happy to hear from you Carrie! Definitely missed the vlogs but totally get it, please only share when you're up for it. I also just went through a pretty short notice move into a temporary situation, and though it's for good reasons, it still feels odd sometimes. Sending you good vibes!!
This came at such a special time for me. I just moved back to where my parents are, ended my 5 year relationhsip, got a new job, got a dog- so many changes. Some thing feel right and some dont, but were in this together!
If anything, at least you're close to your family for now and back in your old home! I always enjoy ALL of your videos! You're truly such an enjoyable person to watch. Much love to you, Drew, and your family. 💛 I know it'll be hard to be further from friends right now, but you'll be back to hang out with them again soon! I hope you both can find happiness and comfort during this time!
Welcome back! It was so nice to see your face again, Carrie! I love your striped top paired with those earrings and necklace 😍 I'm happy to see the old house, I'm sure it'll bring back a lot of mems for some of us OGs 😊
Want to be vs. where you should be... My husband and I are wrestling with that right now too. It's hard. I'm glad you and Drew have each other through this.
I pray that all things work for the best for the both of you and I believe there’s always a purpose for wherever you are at. Good luck to the both of you.
Hope family time is going well and that you're finding lots of restful moments back home! If you're looking for new TV to watch to find more moments of solace - I think you'd LOVE Sunny on Apple TV - it's a retrofuturistic show set in Japan starring Rashida Jones and seems right up yours and Drew's alley. I also worked on it all of 2023 and thought about how much I think you'd love it often!
I know how you feel! Im currently in AZ in my "here as a means to an end" era. Planning to get back to LA by end of this year. Been here a year now and miss LA dearly.
As someone who has been stuck (back) in the same place for well over a decade girl I would be gone in a minute lol that is why I keep decluttering because one day it is going to happen!
I am also in a chapter of uncertainty. Moved jan 2024 to a new place. Had a job i loved and was in a place where i was pretty content. March: moved 6hrs away to help my sister out with my 5 year old neice ..had to quit my job. Leave my friends. Get rid of most of my stuff. Now: living in a town where i dont know alot of people. Just started a new job as a supervisor for a popular drugstore chain. I have no idea where ill be in 6 months. Its been overwhelming.
I move all the time too. I’ve lived in my house for 4 years and it’s literally the longest I’ve been in a place ever lol. Now we are moving from Nashville to Vegas on 7/30. 😅
Yall are wild already planning your move back! 😅 i couldn't unpack and decorate because I'd feel like it's not worth it! But you always make your house a home
I understand not wanting to divulge on the internet and creating that boundary. We support you with whatever you’re comfortable with. You don’t owe anyone anything!
Yay, you're back! I love your vlogs and missed them. Happy for you that you get to be where you need to be right now even if it's not where you want to be. And can't wait to see the next chapter. Honestly, I love that you move so frequently! It's fun!
Praying for you and your transition back to Phoenix!! I live in central Phoenix and always loveeee your vlogs here. Actually I met you and drew once in target! Sending all the love 💖
the way i kept almost commenting on the main channel about missing the vlogs but didn’t want you to feel any pressure and then THIS. this is not the update i expected but definitely sounds like everything worked out the way it needed to!
Totally understand what you mean about being where you ought to be but not where your heart desires- I made a move like this a few years ago and the knock on effect proved it was exactly right in the end ❤
Definitely have missed you, but so so glad you're taking care of you and your family and doing what you need to do. I feel you, we're in a similar season of being back in a place we didn't necessarily want to be out of necessity and it's such a weird season. Sending you so much love and hope that you'll be back where you want to be in the next year. ❤
my mom passed away in April, so this is where my mind goes when I hear someone say there's family stuff going on and if people could send good thoughts. I hope everyone is okay and my love to you and your family during whatever is going on!!! 💗💗💗💗💗
I'm happy you updated! I've missed your vlogs as I'm more of a vlog watcher but definitely you need to take care of yourself first! I'll send positive vibes for your family. P.S. I think it's so funny you are back in your old house. I recognized the floors from an instagram post 😂
I missed your videos!! But I know that feeling of where you should be versus where you want to be. We’re a military family and we lived in Utah for a few years and we fell in love and made amazing friends and now our current assignment is near my family and knowing I want to be out there breaks my heart but I love being near family with our 3 boys as well. It’s hard 😭
I’m glad you could be with your family when you need to be. It’s definitely nothing to be taking for granted. I know the circumstances aren’t ideal but it’s what’s needed right now so I hope you guys make the best of this time both with your family and as you make plans for your future
i’ve missed your videos, but i’m happy you have been taking time for you 💛 i’m commenting this on thursday and last thursday we sadly had to put down our 15 year old orange boy cat because he got a very sudden, painful blood clot that started to cause his organs to shut down… he was my soul pet and it’s been the hardest week of my life, i haven’t really been able to do much. 💔😓 on an average day i would usually watch at least a few youtube videos and i haven’t been able to watch any in the past week, but when i saw you post i had to watch 🥲
I don’t know how to explain that, but your vlogs from AZ house during pandemic bring me the nostalgia. They were just my comfort videos back then. Have never missed a vlog ever since. So happy you are back! Wish you and Drew all the best! ❤ Hope that the family member situation will be better each day!

Life really does hit you out of nowhere 😞 for what it’s worth, I appreciate you sharing the hard moments too. It makes some of us feel less alone.

You'll never regret supporting your family. It's wild to think that I've been following long enough to be apart of several chapters!

I live through you every time you move back to AZ! I’ve been in CA for 10 years now and I’ve been dying to go back home for years!! We’re finally moving back next summer!!
Grow where you are currently planted 🎉 So important to know where you are needed. You can still go where you want when the time is right
Glad to see you back, happy for you and Drew that your old house was available again and sending good vibes for the family stuff!
Since they’re back in their old AZ home is anyone curious about how big the cactus is in her backyard?

I hope your family member recovers soon. I live where I do for Dad I hate my city. It's cold it's miserable and very career limiting. We own a house so I'm stuck. Move around as much as you want it's your life. I would love to be able to
i can totally empathize with the sudden move to somewhere you didn’t imagine yourself- had to move halfway across the country for my partner’s sick dad. sending you and your family so much love and hoping you can make the most of it! longtime silent viewer and fan of yours, but love to see you back ❤️
We moved in with my in laws for 6 months while we figured out where we were meant to be! It’s so important in an overall journey! We are now in our dream home in our dream area! All the good vibes your way! You’ve got this!
I just moved to another country this year to be close to family! So I can relate. Hope you treasure the extra time with your family this year
Your vlogs are seriously my favorite, I think because we have similar personalities so it feels like a FaceTime with a friend. BUT also, a million times over, take the time you need for you and your family. Be super private, that is so important!! The internet fortunately and unfortunately will be here forever!!
Thank you for being my little TH-cam comfort videos! You truly make me feel not so alone by just being you and being vulnerable (but don’t ever feel like you have to!!)
❤
This hits a little close to home for me 🥺. I hope you guys and your families are alright and you're able to spend all the quality time you can. Time is so precious.
I just suddenly lost my mom and it truly changes your brain chemistry. I'll be thinking of you all 💖.
I completely relate to living in a place where I don’t really want to be but definitely should for the time being. It’s tough but feels good to just give into that and enjoy what you can while you can! That’s been my mantra to get me through to the next adventure!
Welcome back to AZ 💜 totally understand not sharing everything, whatever you are comfortable with is what you should do even if people complain. Sending all the love to you and your family too! 💜
Hi Carrie! Missed your vlogs, but it sounds like a break was very much needed! I have been watching your vlogs since you lived in the house in AZ the first time. I would love to see an updated house tour vlog!
Just moved back to my hometown to take care of my dad full time. I don’t want to be here either, I get it. I hope things get better for you.
I definitely can relate to not posting about personal on the internet anymore. I had a major life change in February and a friend of mine was offended that I wasn’t sharing about it. I was like be hurt then not everything has to be public.
On top of family health issues as well. 2024 needs to chill out. I’m sending you good vibes!
I love that Arizona house. I’m looking forward to seeing it again! I’m sure it’s weird for you and Drew to be back there, but hopefully also feels like a safe landing given why you’re there.
This is just a season of your life! I love your vlogs , and normally don’t comment much but had to say the people that matter will be around to support you on here. Take time to be with your loved ones! Sending all the good juju to them and whatever situation is going on in your families! ❤also love your dress in this video , where is it from ?
Missed you, lady! Glad your back in whatever capacity you can be. Best wishes to your fam.
I left LA, where I’ve lived my entire life, six months ago for family. It’s a good decision but I miss LA with my whole heart and I don’t know when I can/if I will ever move back. But you’ll be back, I just know it.
Oh, it’s wonderful to hear you on the blogs again. Praying for your family for health and safety. How exciting to see your home in Arizona again. Love the big kitchen and the huge bathroom that you guys had in that house. Wishing the best for you take care.
I never clicked on a video so fast! 🩷 I always understand you needing space but these are my favorite videos of yours! Sending you all the lover and prayers for good health for you and your family members! Love you both! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I really hope you and your family are ok, but totally understand you not wanting to share everything online 🤗. I've only been watching your videos for a few months, so don't know much about you but I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! x
I moved so many times in my life for various reasons.. I always kind of envied people who lived in the same place their whole life (here in Germany many people do not move a lot). But on the other hand I could not imagine spending my whole life in one place. I have been living in my current apartment for three years now, as I have a kid now I am not as flexible with moving anymore. But I do not think this place is where I will stay for the rest of my life. I would love to move closer to my parents as they are getting older and there may be health issues in the future. So I fully understand your current situation. Sending lots of love and prayers to your family from Germany 💓
Something about this makes my heart ache a bit. Sending you all the positive thoughts ❤
So happy to hear from you Carrie! Definitely missed the vlogs but totally get it, please only share when you're up for it. I also just went through a pretty short notice move into a temporary situation, and though it's for good reasons, it still feels odd sometimes. Sending you good vibes!!
Isn’t it crazy how the universe works that way, with not having an LA lease and being called home. Wishing you all the love and light you need
This came at such a special time for me. I just moved back to where my parents are, ended my 5 year relationhsip, got a new job, got a dog- so many changes. Some thing feel right and some dont, but were in this together!
Glad you’re back! Good for you for keeping some things in your life private-what an awesome
boundary and a great way to love yourself! ❤
End of an era! Missing your vlogs, but excited for your new chapter 💕
Who cares if you move around a lot. You don’t have children and it’s not effecting anyone else 🤷♀️ you love life and ignore everyone else
If anything, at least you're close to your family for now and back in your old home! I always enjoy ALL of your videos! You're truly such an enjoyable person to watch. Much love to you, Drew, and your family. 💛 I know it'll be hard to be further from friends right now, but you'll be back to hang out with them again soon! I hope you both can find happiness and comfort during this time!
I loved that house that you're back in !But you make everywhere you live look wonderful!
Welcome back! It was so nice to see your face again, Carrie! I love your striped top paired with those earrings and necklace 😍 I'm happy to see the old house, I'm sure it'll bring back a lot of mems for some of us OGs 😊
unrelated: the outfit, the hair, the accessories! you look so pretty!!
Want to be vs. where you should be... My husband and I are wrestling with that right now too. It's hard. I'm glad you and Drew have each other through this.
Tell me why I had to cackle when you said some people do not like that we move a lot. Oh Carrie welcome back home. 🏠 🌵 ☀️ 🏜️ AZ missed you!
I pray that all things work for the best for the both of you and I believe there’s always a purpose for wherever you are at. Good luck to the both of you.
Hope family time is going well and that you're finding lots of restful moments back home! If you're looking for new TV to watch to find more moments of solace - I think you'd LOVE Sunny on Apple TV - it's a retrofuturistic show set in Japan starring Rashida Jones and seems right up yours and Drew's alley. I also worked on it all of 2023 and thought about how much I think you'd love it often!
I know how you feel! Im currently in AZ in my "here as a means to an end" era. Planning to get back to LA by end of this year. Been here a year now and miss LA dearly.
As someone who has been stuck (back) in the same place for well over a decade girl I would be gone in a minute lol that is why I keep decluttering because one day it is going to happen!
I am also in a chapter of uncertainty.
Moved jan 2024 to a new place. Had a job i loved and was in a place where i was pretty content.
March: moved 6hrs away to help my sister out with my 5 year old neice ..had to quit my job. Leave my friends. Get rid of most of my stuff.
Now: living in a town where i dont know alot of people. Just started a new job as a supervisor for a popular drugstore chain.
I have no idea where ill be in 6 months. Its been overwhelming.
I move all the time too. I’ve lived in my house for 4 years and it’s literally the longest I’ve been in a place ever lol. Now we are moving from Nashville to Vegas on 7/30. 😅
Yall are wild already planning your move back! 😅 i couldn't unpack and decorate because I'd feel like it's not worth it! But you always make your house a home
Will follow you wherever you go! Love you Carrie!!!❤
I understand not wanting to divulge on the internet and creating that boundary. We support you with whatever you’re comfortable with. You don’t owe anyone anything!
As a fellow Arizona girly, I’m excited to see what you get up to here
1000000% could see you living in palm springs!! close drive to both AZ, but also LA! and cheaper than LA rent!!!
Yay, you're back! I love your vlogs and missed them. Happy for you that you get to be where you need to be right now even if it's not where you want to be. And can't wait to see the next chapter. Honestly, I love that you move so frequently! It's fun!
Praying for you and your transition back to Phoenix!! I live in central Phoenix and always loveeee your vlogs here. Actually I met you and drew once in target! Sending all the love 💖
So happy to see you again here.
Excited for your continued journey. Sending prayers to your loved ones & hope for swift recovery.
the way i kept almost commenting on the main channel about missing the vlogs but didn’t want you to feel any pressure and then THIS. this is not the update i expected but definitely sounds like everything worked out the way it needed to!
I’m curious to see how that alien plant in the backyard is holding up!
Missed your vlogs a lot but I ofc respect your feelings towards vlogging. We'll just watch whatever you want to share with us! ❤️
Totally understand what you mean about being where you ought to be but not where your heart desires- I made a move like this a few years ago and the knock on effect proved it was exactly right in the end ❤
Definitely have missed you, but so so glad you're taking care of you and your family and doing what you need to do. I feel you, we're in a similar season of being back in a place we didn't necessarily want to be out of necessity and it's such a weird season. Sending you so much love and hope that you'll be back where you want to be in the next year. ❤
wishing you all the best! we are all here for you
my mom passed away in April, so this is where my mind goes when I hear someone say there's family stuff going on and if people could send good thoughts. I hope everyone is okay and my love to you and your family during whatever is going on!!! 💗💗💗💗💗
I'm happy you updated! I've missed your vlogs as I'm more of a vlog watcher but definitely you need to take care of yourself first! I'll send positive vibes for your family. P.S. I think it's so funny you are back in your old house. I recognized the floors from an instagram post 😂
I missed your videos!! But I know that feeling of where you should be versus where you want to be. We’re a military family and we lived in Utah for a few years and we fell in love and made amazing friends and now our current assignment is near my family and knowing I want to be out there breaks my heart but I love being near family with our 3 boys as well. It’s hard 😭
Ok Carrie…. Welcome back to Az and we shall see what happens next! Keeping both your family’s in my prayers! ❤
I hope you guys are settling back in AZ okay and keeping you and your families in my thoughts.
I’m glad you could be with your family when you need to be. It’s definitely nothing to be taking for granted. I know the circumstances aren’t ideal but it’s what’s needed right now so I hope you guys make the best of this time both with your family and as you
make plans for your future
i’ve missed your videos, but i’m happy you have been taking time for you 💛 i’m commenting this on thursday and last thursday we sadly had to put down our 15 year old orange boy cat because he got a very sudden, painful blood clot that started to cause his organs to shut down… he was my soul pet and it’s been the hardest week of my life, i haven’t really been able to do much. 💔😓 on an average day i would usually watch at least a few youtube videos and i haven’t been able to watch any in the past week, but when i saw you post i had to watch 🥲
