Life Update from the Dog Park

[@margeryk000]

Glad to know you guys are in a better place.

[@Lei_say_hey]

Crystal I’m sorry you had to deal with the harassment😔 I am so happy to hear you all are ok and back in Oregon living your best lives🥰 Can’t wait to see your new journey🏳️‍🌈✌🏻❤️

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@OnAQuailTrail]

So happy for you and your family. It was a noble effort to move to be close to family but ultimately healthier for your family to be in a state of inclusiveness. While adults can manage, that’s tough on kids to be exposed to that level of ignorance and vitriol. And absolutely no reason why adults should endure it either. Welcome home.

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you! 🙏

I’ve been thinking about you and your family. I know living close to family is so important and beneficial, but as someone who also left Florida for various reasons, I think you made a great choice. It’s tough out there. Being in an inclusive place (with much more tolerable temperatures) is something that is paramount. I wish nothing for the best for you, Emily, and the kiddos. ❤️❤️

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Crystal, I am so sorry those things happened to you in Florida. I don't know why some people have to be that way just let others live their life how they choose and don't judge them for it. That's not my personal lifestyle but I have quite a few friends whose it is and as long as they're happy I'm happy for them. Hope you keep us updated, miss seeing you all visiting with Asa and Cilla.

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@juanitabrown7998]

So glad y’all have found your happy place ❤️

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@glennamiles3566]

I'm so happy for your family to be relocated somewhere you can be appreciated and respected. Florida is not the place to be for everyone.

[@MelGypsy33]

Yay! Your back! It’s so great to see you! So glad you’re settling back in Oregon! Can’t wait to see your traveling content!

[@sunshinemyson]

So glad to see you again. Am sorry Florida wasn't a good fit for your family. Looking forward to seeing your new videos.

[@nancymelton-morales4674]

I admire you and yours for getting out of Florida. Such an unkind and hateful governor. You are wise! All the best!

[@susanquenneville2462]

I am so glad to see you back … I’m sorry that your experience in Florida was not all it should have been … you must miss your family … hope to see more of you and your family in the future ❤

[@KeepingItHopeful]

Glad your doing well!

[@butchhomemaker]

Thanks! You too!

[@meanderingrain1854]

Good to see you again! I am so sorry that you were treated like that. What a nice world it would be if everyone could just be kind. It doesn't take a lot of effort, but there are some people who are not happy with themselves, so they find it difficult to show empathy toward others. Blessings to you and your family 🙏💙💜♥

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you so much!

[@MsDawnnee]

I'm glad you are all settled in, and doing well. Great to get an update xx

[@butchhomemaker]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@janicelaurin7263]

Wow, welcome back. I wondered what happened to you since you disappeared from KZbin. I know you moved to Florida to be closer to family. I loved your house in Oregon. I am glad you realized Florida was not a good fit and moved back. You put so much work into your house in Florida and made it beautiful. I am sure whoever bought it will love it.

[@butchhomemaker]

Yes! Thank you!

[@lindacoy6187]

It is so sad you had to leave your Florida family but you are in in a better place by far. I am very happy for you !

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@castillomary4]

As a person with a disability, I understand what you experienced. I am so happy you are out of FL and Portland is beautiful country and keep posting. Love your content with Emily and the girls, plus the pup..

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@robylove9190]

Hey Crystal! It's great to see you again. I'm glad y'all are happy in Portland. Florida is a great place to visit but it's not a great place to live. I moved 7 years ago when I realized that I would never be able to retire there.

[@butchhomemaker]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@kerrimccann126]

I admire you ladies getting out of FL and maybe I’ve missed some things but as soon as you said the kids start school I knew and I was pretty sure I knew why. In my community I feel what you are talking about but not in the same way. Thanks for sharing

[@butchhomemaker]

Yes! Thank you!

[@janetsanders9253]

Thanks for the update

[@doreenkrajewski9775]

Great to see you Crystal! 😄💚

[@tammyv9004]

Welcome home! I live in Portland too.

[@butchhomemaker]

yay! fellow Portlander!

[@dawnjackson2190]

Ohhh my eyes must be deceiving me. Lol I have reached out to your brother n law to make sure y'all were doing good and still living in JAX. Thank you for your update!!

[@butchhomemaker]

Thanks!

[@susanseifert925]

Thank You for expressing, of which gives awareness and acceptance on many levels as you said. It saddens me greatly. . Just recently three Colombian families moved into my complex. I was shocked and saddened as to what I heard coming out of other residences mouths. Very glad your family was able to move. I wish you the best. I wish you peace. 🙏🙏🙏

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@kath9939]

I’m happy you are happy. Take your time… we’ll wait. 🌈🥰

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!!!

[@Sherryk546]

Wow I’m so sorry something as stupid as a bathroom is used to be mean to someone. That’s why I am having a hard time with my nephews being in school there. I just don’t feel that they will get an education in morals or acceptance. I also work with students with autism so that is quite important to me. By the way your hair looks awesome. Glad you have a comfy place to land and the puppy is the best! Love you all!

[@lynnemccarthy135]

It's nice to see you again! Welcome back to you tube!

[@butchhomemaker]

Hey, thanks!

Nice to see you back 😊xx

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@buckeyegirl639]

As a butch lesbian, living in rural America I dread walking into the women’s restroom. All of my straight friends are in disbelief when I tell them about some of my experiences. Some of them are humorous, some are scary. I do my best to educate people so that one day maybe the next generation will not be as shocked to see a butch lesbian in the women’s bathroom 🌈

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I can truly say I see you, and also respect you so much for navigating this daily with courage and even a sense of humor. Stay Proud! 🏳️‍🌈💕

[@ddinottia39]

Im so glad you got out of Florida. With the many issues for people in the LGBQT community. The governor there is out of his mind. Im sorry those things happened to you. I sure do miss you guys more. But i understand. You have to do you and be some where you will be safe. Sure love you guys! ❤🌈

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you 🙏 💕🏳️‍🌈

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Crystal, hi, have you moved from Florida, back to where you left ? What’s up Florida too hot ? So long as your all happy and healthy. That’s what counts. I enjoyed your ice land trip. It’s a very cool place.. 💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨👍

Sorry to hear about things in FL. We are boycotting the state and going to Disneyland in CA this fall due to the hostile environment there for so many people.

[@butchhomemaker]

❤️

[@lynnemccarthy135]

Wow, I didn't realize you were harrased. 😢 I'm glad you're happier now.people need to be educated and need to learn to be kind!

[@butchhomemaker]

Exactly!!

[@furysmith6564]

Did the kid’s other mom move back too? Or you have the kids all the time now? Good to see you

[@butchhomemaker]

Yes, that has always been a non-negotiable for our kids to have all their parents around. Thank you! 🙏

[@furysmith6564]

@@butchhomemaker awesome!

[@patriciamora2915]

Did the other mom come back to Oregon too?

[@butchhomemaker]

Yes!

[@traceegreen2403]

Florida is a mess, glad you got out of there.

[@butchhomemaker]

Thanks!

[@trudipalmer288]

So sorry you left Florida for reasons that should be not even be on the radar. I live in Canada and this really bothers me!!!!!

[@heidiely3243]

I was so worried about you all being in Florida as the conditions started to worsen with attitudes. I definitely will never live there. If my friends aren't able to be who they are then I don't want it.

[@butchhomemaker]

💯

[@wingnox]

As someone who is born and raised from Florida i am sorry you felt the need to leave. I have to say the peoplw who are genuinely from Florida are not like that trash man. He has skewed the demographics of our entire state and unfortunately it got much worse during Covid with his "keep Florida free" b.s. we will miss you all but understand completely your reasoning

[@butchhomemaker]

Thank you!

[@sherryroden3650]

How Emily doing

[@butchhomemaker]

Great!
