Happy for you guys. I’ve never had any of those negative experiences you mentioned about Texas. I’m from Wisconsin and I’ve always had the best experiences here. I’ve lived in Frisco and Euless … Hope you find what you’re looking for. Denver is growing as well.
How are you
I’m moved to Houston from Chicago in 2019 and left a month ago to Nashville.. best decision I’ve made
Fellow Minnesotan, moved to Iowa, thinking about CO in a year. I was going to move to Dallas area and after spending 2 weeks in and all around the area I quickly realized Texas wasn't for me. I too like nature, cooler climate, and I can't see paying 3× the rent with the same wages as home. I just feel like the Midwest is best. I'd rather have money and travel than be broke to say I live in a city. Wish you all the best of luck!!
I agree. The midwest is great just no mountains 😂
When I read Why you guys were leaving I just knew it my spirit it was Colorado,I’m so excited for y’all. I pray y’all are going to find just the peace you’re looking for 🙏🏽✝️💜
Y’all know us too well ☺️ thank you!
Ya’ll ?
Truly happy to hear that you have stepped up to the next level, in knowing what you want now.
Marriage is a big, and wonderful step, knowing what you want is key!
Stay strong in love, and communication skills.
All the best!!!👌🏾❤️❤️❤️🌺🎶🙏🏾
aww thank you!! 🥹❤️
Church is a great place to meet people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You guys are making a great decision Texas is a unique place to say the least.
yall might enjoy the dmv!! northern va specifically, cause you'll be close to dc/the city life, but still get all the scenic nature views
Northern VA is soulless hellscape
This is so interesting! I started watching you guys when I was planning to move to Texas a few years ago. Subbed. Next I'm thinking about taking a job in MN. Thanks for the content!
Please do a video on your experience of being a black woman in Minnesota!!!!
I moved to Texas back in 2014 from Seattle, WA but also lived in Minnesota. I'm used to colder climates. I originally moved to Texas because my mom moved first and it was something different. There are pros and cons in every place but I definitely want to move out of Texas for some of the same reasons are reasons you both described and explained. I always suggest now wherever you visit, visit all four seasons and multiple times/longer periods of time. I think if I would've done that I probably would've never moved to Texas only stayed visiting.
Same i'm leaving here years end....
Very Happy got you guys!! I knew it would be Colorado or Arizona. You have to ho Sherri your heart takes you. Safe travels when you move and continue Blessings to both of you. ❤❤
Thank you! ☺️
Wish you both the best in your new journey
Thank you :)
Texas will miss yall. I feel Denver would be a good fit if you consider Denver.
Not sure exactly what city we’ll move to yet, but definitely feeling a pull to Colorado! So agreed 😊
@@destinyandmitch I just came from Colorado back to Texas because of the crime and high rent and housing prices are rock star status , there is actually more crime in Colorado
Hi Destiny and Mitch thanks for the update and sharing your news enjoyed the video Will keep watching God bless 💕
Congrats on exploring the country to find your next place to stay. I think it's awesome and I am cheering for you two all the way🙌🙌💖💖🙌🙌.
May blessings follow you wherever you choose to go! I enjoyed my short visit to Texas and my short visit to Denver. I get to travel to different states because of my church conventions are held in different states at lease twice a year. Safe travels!💗❤️
Good for y’all! You have given it enough time and good for you to be able to roll it up and try somewhere else. Please keep going forward! #YayYall
we feel good about giving it three years to decide that it’s just not the place for us right now. Excited for our next chapter 💛
So sad to hear y'all are leaving! I too grew up in the midwest, OH-IO. I first moved to Texas 2 years ago and ended up in Wichita county. Talk about a slow lifestyle! But now I live in Galveston county. I also work in healthcare so living close to Houston has been a dream come true. Texas really has a lot to offer with different cultures in each region of the state, but in the end it all depends on what you're looking for, and it sounds like Texas isn't it. I am excited to seeing where your next journey leads!
Totally makes sense for your career to live in Houston!! And you’re right, Texas does have a lot to offer depending on what you’re looking for. We’re excited to experience a new state again!
There are so many suburban outskirts in neighborhoods with houses with good piece of property attached and also townhomes too! It just depends where you look and which city in Texas like Dallas has a lot ! You probably would be more successful with help in the search like realtors
All the best to you both when it comes to your safety than that is most important run out of there
We've probably looked at over 30 properties in person all over the DFW area (sometimes with the help of rental services) and have just never seen any townhome in our price range.
Your guys are so cute.. wishing YALL the best in EVERYTHING AND ANYWHERE you’ll travel from ya Oklahoma fam.🙏🏾💪🏽
thank you so much!! 🥰
I wish u the best in ur future endeavors❣️I was a new subby ab a month ago & was so intrigued that such a beautiful young cpl went to see jazz, the way my dad had us (his kids) do w/him. I was hooked. U guys like God’s art… mountains etc. LOVE it! So wholesome❣️
awww thank you! We very much enjoy the music and arts scene in all its forms ☺️
Congratulations on your next move I have relatives in Colorado love the winter in Colorado, AZ is nice as well.
Destiny and Mitch I wish you best where ever you may go. Can’t wait to see a vlog about it! Best wishes and hope to see ya soon!!❤❤❤❤
I know that you guys will find the perfect place to settle down, good luck 🤞
thank you 😊
Yeah, Texas is like a different type of place and it truly either like it or you don’t. I love the schools where we are. It’s pretty quiet where we are. You don’t have to drive forever to get to where you like I like it. We’re near a mall so I understand that not every place is like where I am but I get it.
Good luck in your future move. Colorado is a great option. I went to visit my cousins there and went to Deadwood, Mt Rushmore, and saw so much. It was only like 4 or 5 days we were there, but loved it.
thank you!! that sounds like a fun trip 😊
I’m from San Antonio Texas born & raised. I love Texas , adorable living.. family oriented. No reason to complain about my state, but I do wanna move, just to explore different. That’s it, but Texas has been amazing to me , oh and the food is definitely AMAZING
Wishing you guys the best.
Wish you all the best rather it be Colorado or Arizona you both will know you’ll feel it in your heart
Wishing you the best, and that you will find a place of permanence to settle. You're a beautiful couple and I hope you find a beautiful community to settle into.
thank you so much! ☺️ we’re hoping our next move give she what we’re looking for!
Dang. Guys. I couldn’t agree with you more. I you kept giving your reason and I was like yeah. I feel ya.
I wish you two a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, great New Year, and any other holiday you celebrate. You are a wonderful couple, so fun and enjoyable to watch.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you as well!! We appreciate your words and watching our video during the holidays.
I who exactly what you mean .Texas is not for me but the Midwest is Michigan is where I going.Lakes
Do what’s best for you guys. Follow your hearts. ❤
I am sorry Texas was not a right fit for y’all at the moment, it’s not for everyone. Me personally I love Texas particularly Dallas because I was born in Georgia and love the southern hospitality and culture. Also love that in Texas , there is no state income tax, , cost of living is still reasonable compare to other places in the us , and real estate is another reason I would relocate to Texas in the future as well as being a business friendly state. I am in the healthcare field and found out that there are great opportunities for healthcare workers in Texas. Living in Minnesota for 7 years , I have came to realize that the cold weather and most of the not so welcoming people, taxes , cost of housing , makes me want to relocate in the future. Wish you guys well on moving to the city you guys want.
I’m definitely considering Arizona 100%. At least I’ll be able to go to San Diego often.
You can definitely take weekend trips to San Diego easily! We love how close we are to California!!
Congratulations on your move be happy
We are beyond excited for it!! :)
You have to do what’s best for you guys! Have you considered Oklahoma? It’s a great in between for traveling as well! OKC area is a great change in pace coming from Texas, especially if you want to still experience the seasons. But if it’s not on your list, I do see y’all in Colorado! I can’t wait to see where you both go next! 😊
We haven't considered Oklahoma, but it is the one state we enjoy traveling through on our way back to MN haha
How are you nia
I wish you the best in your search for your ideal place. In your proposal video ( I loved that-"you lied to me") you mentioned how much you loved Colorado.
If you're looking for mountains, Washington State has the some of the most impressive. The North Cascades have the most glaciers of any mountains in the lower 48. It is also one of the largest wildernesses in the lower 48.The mountains in Colorado may be 12,000 ft +, but they start at 5,000ft. The North Cascades are around 9,000ft, but they start at sea level.The Olympics are also very impressive. I don't suggest you move there, just check them out.
I find this to be very exciting- life is short… enjoy the journey 🙏 I love your smiles/giggles… can’t wait to see where you land😂
awww thank you so much! Doing it while we can ‘cause yes, life is short ☺️
I live in the Dallas area and I just left Denver last week from visiting! Amazing nature! I made some of my favorite memories! However the dry air is pretty intense in the winter as well as the altitude but I’m from the south so I’m not used to it. I think y’all would love it though! It’s one of my favorite places I’ve been :)
I hope you two find a place to live that is good for you
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Colorado or Arizona seems like somewhere that would fit who WE see ya'll as a couple, obviously you both know who you actually are. Wish you all the best. I'm getting the heck out of dfw myself (native and tired of it)
Interested to hear your reasons for wanting to leave as well!
I can see you two living in Colorado. I live in NY and I was thinking Texas. I’m not sure about TX now. I don’t want to live in such a hot place and I like seasons. I also don’t drive and I really don’t want to.
You will definitely need a car living in Texas! It’s not a walkable state, so you should consider that cause driving can be a headache here lol
I've lived in Amarillo, Texas for nearly 30 years. After leaving the east coast, I must say I still absolutely love Texas. But, I totally agree with you guys regarding the safety part. In fact, here in Amarillo, I have witnessed a lot of sad changes (over the years) in terms of the uptick in crime, cost of living and a decline in the overall cleanliness of our city. ☹ However, because we're in the Panhandle (in the upper most part of Texas), the location is actually ideal to do many road trips (in waaay under 10 hours) to places like: New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, parts of Iowa, and even Nebraska. My daughter and I are queens of the open road!! 😍 -- we LOVE our road trips!! 🥰 I agree that Colorado is beautiful!! I especially loved Pueblo and Colorado Springs when I visited there last year. From here the drive into Pueblo was only 5 hours. Arizona would probably be the state I'd want to live in if I had to leave Texas. Anyway, I didn't mean to go on and on. 😅😅 I sincerely wish you guys all the best in whatever you choose! I'm sure wherever you land it'll be home -- because you have each other. ❤❤❤ That is a HUGE blessing. P.S.: (If you haven't already) you've GOT to visit the Palo Duro Canyon before you leave Texas. It is called the Grand Canyon of Texas and it's simply breathtaking. Take care!! ❤🙏🥰
So true!! The panhandle is much closer to the things we want to travel to. And definitely want to get out there we've talked about it often!!
I pray that everything works out for you guys and I pray y'all find what you looking for and just be safe and blessedenjoy because this world is not safe and just and live life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you, Lydia! We appreciate it 💛
Depends on the neighborhood you live in. Euless. Grapevine, northrichlandhills...many more cities offer what you are looking for.
Ehhh we've been to all of those areas, not sure any of them have mountains haha
@@destinyandmitch 😂😂😂
Have you all ever thought about mobile living for a couple years? Like RV living? That way you can travel? Save money? And live in nature?
Texas is unbelievably boring. I’m from St.Louis originally and lived in California and have found Dallas to be by far the most boring and it’s very slow paced to me to the point I can’t stand it. Can’t wait to get out and can’t figure out why anyone would ever choose to live here. It offers nothing at all that every other state doesn’t offer. There’s nothing unique at all here. Take this as a message to truly research where you move everyone else and you will find there are far better places.
Yeah it is
God blessings to both of you on your move.
thank uuuu 🫶🏽😊
Good video - funny story but my girlfriend and I are actually moving to Austin from South Florida for a few of the reasons you’re leaving Texas. I’m paying $1800 for a 1 bedroom over here, and found a great 2 bedroom there for $1600. Plus I saw a bunch of nature over there - they have rivers, mountain biking opportunities, campsites, and more over there. My girl and I want to do the road-trips too but ours will be into Mexico. I hear you on your reasoning to move though, good luck on the next step!
We totally get this!! We escaped MN for TX bc of several of those reasons. However, apt prices have skyrocketed here over the years. They're pretty much the same as they are in MN and CO now. Austin is much better for nature so that's something we missed by choosing the Dallas area, but we absolutely love Austin (it would've been more our style) so good choice 👍🏼
I wish you the best on your new journey
Thank you!!
Oh my lol. You guys moved to the worst part of Texas (Dallas) lol. I bet you would feel differently if you lived in Austin or San Antonio. I actually moved FROM Colorado to Texas last year. I always encourage people to travel and live in places that call to them. But lemme tell y'all LOL-I met so many people in Colorado on drugs, and for ME, a person who can make friends instantly all over the world, it was hard to make solid friendships the 5 years I was in Colorado (Denver specifically). I knew many people who only lasted a few years there unfortunately before moving on. And unless you plan on living in the eastern plains, the rent for a house or apartment is going to be high. The food there is terrible too for the most part haha. However the mountains are beautiful and so therapeutic, and i did some EPIC roadtripping during the pandemic-just a few hours away in any direction from Denver and you will see some beautiful things!
It's so funny and very interesting to see how different places speak to different people....I went to high school and college in Dallas/Fort Worth and I got outta there as I could-it's a horrible, shallow place so I mos def understand y'all's experience haha. But moving to a new place is exciting and you owe it to yourselves to get in where you fit in. Best of luck on your decision and I'm excited to follow along on your journey! And if you do decide on Colorado, don't say someone didn't warn you about the food haha
We actually LOVE San Antonio and Austin and had ideas to move to each one, but it's still the same story - really big, really fast, and far away from the travels we want to do. I think we realized we still enjoy our roots but still want to try new areas and see new things.
From Atlanta and think Dallas-Fort Worth is the best Metro in Texas! Moving to Dallas in 2 weeks
Hi Destiny & Mitch. Praying that you are lead to the perfect place to be comfortable and adventurous. As you search, please consider the political climate, diversity, and school district. There are lots of things to consider, these are just a few. Best of luck. You are a beautiful couple and I wish you well.😘
Vcs são MARAVILHOSOSSSSSSSS
🥺🫶🏽
Dallas is legit the worst place to live in Texas :( I’m so sorry y’all are having a bad experience here in Texas.
Don't do Colorado
Try Washington state! Spokane area is beautiful and doesn't get a ton of rain like Seattle. It has mountains! High paying jobs and very nice weather ! Clean air too and natural places all over.. Canada is 1 hour North! Idaho, Montana and WY are to the East
You have to feel comfortable and safe whatever it is you decide to move to Arizona is nice the way the world is today people are horrible everywhere everywhere I don't even watch the news anymore once in awhile just to listen to the weather but other than that it's bad things happening all over the world so and y'all being young and you want to start a family eventually you want to pick some place that's really good schools nice so it's very understandable that y'all want to go someplace where you feel comfortable and safe so good luck with whatever y'all decide to go
So true!! Thank you 💞
I think when we invision ourselves living places we do alot by what we see on TV or the internet or by visiting a short period of time and the reality of living there isn't the same feeling we thought sometimes. I always thought I would love New York as a teenager and young adult based off a trip, I took to Manhattan my senior year in high school being from the south we want something different sometimes but after working near there for a few months, I realized that would not work for me to fast the people aren't the friendliest to much congestion. I think Colorado will definitely suite you're family coming from where you're from you would like Colorado, Utah,Montana or even Wyoming where nature is beautiful and more of a laid back vibe.
I think that's 100% accurate. Even visiting the areas can leave questions unanswered (we visited TX many times before moving). You really have to just experience living there for a bit to realize what you like.
But in Colorado u can't go out and sit for more than 15 minutes during winter months. I would take summers over long winters. Dallas is absolutely beautiful and nice. And the air you smell in dallas is not like Sulphur but actually it's the natures smell like fresh pine. Overall Dallas in 50% better than Colorado. In Colorado there are beautiful mountains but who wants to deal with snow n winter for 7-8 months.
FIrst video of yours. I was about to comment but realized this was posted a year ago. I see there's an update that you're back in Texas. lol / I noticed you refrained saying what city/area of Texas you're in. Texas is pretty large. I was going to mention that maybe there's a better spot in Texas for you.
nice young couple I recommend the far Chicago suburbs I think you two would really enjoy it
You all should move to the subrubs of houston texas out in like Conroe or sugarland or katy or the Woodlands or spring
Colorado is great, especially Denver
Helo Newlyweds💞
I've been a subb for a lonnng time, jst don't comment much!! So happy for you both, LYBL & continue having Faith tht wht God has planned for you is Alrdy done!!
Jst a suggestion for moving to Colorado....
If thinking Colorado Springs, Chek it out b4 calling it home!! Both of You, want to feel Safe!?
Live Life~Be Bless💫
Hi Beautiful Couple..❤️❤️❤️your channel and have been following you for sometime.. I’m pretty new to you..however .. it’s nothing like hominess and safety.. have you thought about purchasing a home in a better place……take your time and Be Safe, Be Well..BLESSINGS ON YOUR MARRIAGE 🤍🖤🤍🖤
Thanks Bonnie & welcome 🤗 we are hoping to set down roots, so hopefully that means buying a house when the time is right!
Good luck keep doing video.
I think van life would be great for you guys I have never done it but I would love to like for get aways seeing the worldyou’’re very adventurous people ❤
Arizona is beautiful
Hello I hope you ll find the perfect place to live.w is you all the best.youre two are young so you both will figure out what you want. My favorite couples
awww thank you!! ☺️
The best of to you both, your young , live life, enjoy life, this is your journey, just be safe along the way, take your time. Grandma approved!!!
Well hopefully all will work out, you are young and need to keep figuring it out, just going to say, Destiny is very attractive and Mitch is also, someone is always going to be looking, for the right reasons or not....no matter where you go....unless, you build a cabin in the woods an NEVER come to the city.....but, do try to find a church some where and prayerfully fit in....you need all kinds of friends, but you most certainly need Godly friends that cover you/and your marriage....read up on that....but, again, live life as you should, it is short....find your niche.....stay prayed up in ALL that you do....Seriously.....
True, like we said it's just amplified here cause there's so many people. I agree with what you're saying about G-dly friends, we just don't go to Church or synagogue
Colorado sounds like a great place to move
Agreed!! 😊
I will say I am not surprised you guys are moving and I knew it would be to Colorado.
I will admit that Texas has never truly felt like home to me either and I've been here since 08. But I think also if you are in a place and family isn't truly working out for you and you haven't found friends it can be exceptionally hard.
And that sucks you guys haven't felt safe. I'm in the Aubrey area and things have gotten less safe out this way.
Even once you guys leave I will continue to watch you guys, I just won't know the places you go to anymore. You guys do you and make yourselves happy!
I think not having a community here has made us feel pretty isolated. We wish it felt like home to us, but it just doesn’t & that’s ok! Thanks for watching & supporting 💛
@@destinyandmitch I 100% understand. I live with family and very often feel that lose of community and support. Sometimes family is best with distance! And finding a place where people feel like your specific people is a beautiful thing.
Oh yes the gun shots. I am only back from CA for a month and I already noticed. I didn’t like CA though …but I am looking for something similar but not CA. I moved to Austin bc I thought was more moderate but in my opinion its not. Its still conservative. I really want something where all year round I can go hiking and do outdoor activities. And I don’t think its very safe for women..womens rights and open carry gun. I think I also feel like there is suttle racism. My fiance is white and I noticed people are nicer to him than me. I am mixed race. I think Dallas and Houston are the worst though, physically very ugly boring cities. I don’t hate Texas either but im not in love with it either.
Just curious. Have you visited any churches in Texas and how did you like them if you did. ?!
We have not visited any here in Texas!
@@destinyandmitch I feel you tho. It’s hard to meet good friends in Texas. God bless.
Colorado is a lot more expensive than Texas, but being in a interracial couple is a lot more tolerated. It's just a good place all around, hope you guys enjoy it.
Yeah the income tax alone makes it a hard move!! And thankfully we've never felt discrimination while living here, but definitely feel more at home in CO
@zanz beats As w/me & also my friend too has an interracial marriage in TX & have nvr felt discrimination there. She misses Arizona tho. Different is normal these days & instead of labeling everything that way, I teach my kids that, if u r ‘classy’, as Destiny is, then, negativity may really be envy… jealousy. It’s reality.
I wish I was brave enough to live somewhere like Arizona, or Hawaii or Norway
Norway would be insane! Coming from MN (which is known by some as "new Scandinavia") we've had enough of the frozen tundra environment haha
What city in Texas you live in?
Hie guys from 🇿🇦
Hi 🌷🌷🌷
heyyyyy
I can you living in Arizona
Could’ve moved to the suburbs? Whatever less people
We lived in the suburbs. Even those in were ten times larger than what we're used to, that's the thing.
IM SO HAPPY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS DALLAS SMELLS LMAO. I always tell people that
Where in Texas do you all live
North of Dallas. We've been all around TX, had serious ideas of moving to San Antonio or Austin, but have seen enough to know we need something slower and closer to the travels we want to do.
Thank you for your videos. Still praying for you everyday.
We can't find hope and peace in this world but there is one that can give us true hope and peace.
Because he Loved us: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Because of his Grace: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Because of Hope: Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
I was born and raised in texas and even I don't feel comfortable here.
