Our life in Mexico - Our immigration story (update on my husband)

[@BlancaMartinez-sy3zu]

I’ve been watching you and your beautiful family for a few weeks. This morning I realized I haven’t subscribed to your channel. I love all your videos it shows so much of the your surroundings. It reminds me of my parents ranch in Mexico. I don’t remember much but your videos bring joy to my heart. ❤️. Thank you for that and i will continue way have you. 💕💕🦋

[@Shawgo1972]

I just came across your family vlogs just a few days ago. I enjoy watching you and your family. I grew up in Tucson, AZ and many of the things you and your family do I grew up doing too. I think it's great that you can raise your kids with the same freedoms my parents & I (with my own kids) like letting them live life instead of sitting in the house stuck on tv or internet. You have a great family. I think you and your husband are doing a great job raise your beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your life. I hope your Familia have many blessings.

TU puedes ponerle queso o cualquier cosa que te gusta en tus tacos. No hay ninguna regla en Mexico. La realidad es que Los tacos no son una comida. Es mucho mas que ESO. Es el maravillo estilo de poner cualquier comida adentro de una tortilla. Solo TU imaginacion es El limite. Deberias hacer unos shorts de ustedes comiendo esos tacos con mucha salsa y luego comiendo Chile. Es viral.

Thank you so much for sharing your story… I am a Puerto Rican that has a Mexican heart… my son married a woman with Mexican background heritage. I visited Cancun and felt in love … as I am planning my retirement, I am hoping to go to Mexico for my elderly years. 🫶 Love your Rancho life!

New subscriber here! I'm native american from Memphis TN and my husband was born in Aguascalientes Mexico and grew up there. He was transferred to Laredo TX for work and then to Dallas where he became a U.S. Citizen and my husband. I would LOVE to move to Mexico as his family is all still over there but we can't as he has to stay here in DFW for work. I love your story and think your children will have the best of both worlds going back and forth and being bilingual is so helpful in life.

[@manuelbaca5264]

What tribe are you a tribal citizen of?

[@martharoman3138]

Just ran into your Chanel recently, I like your blogs. I was born in Mexico, when my parents legalized us children in 1996 we all tick a trip back to Mexico and I feel in love. I am one of 5 siblings that go back every year. I gave birth to my daughter in Mexico. We came back to the states after she was 6 months. We still go back yearly. She also loves en enjoys Mexico as much as I do . Your kids are privileged to be able to experience life in Mexico.

[@fmed2412]

We had the same scenario but found a workaround on the 1 year wait for the 2nd (pardon request) appointment. He made the appointment in the USA (prior to leaving) and scheduled the 2nd appointment for 1 week after the initial appointment. So he went to the initial appointment/hearing- was denied and barred. He waited the week for the 'pardon request' appointment- was approved and flew home the next morning. Total 1 week in Juarez. Many people don't now that you can do this.

[@bitzbitz13]

The other day you and Abbey talked about the glass in the back field. When I lived in Honduras, we had outhouses for bathrooms! Being from Alabama, it was not my favorite thing! But I just remembered that whenever I broke a dish or bottle, my husband would take it and put it in the "hole". I asked why and he said because some kids don't have shoes and there is no public garbage system here, so they will cut their feet! After the "hole" was full, they would move over a few feet and dig another one. I bet that is why you keep finding old pieces of broken glass! I enjoy watching your beautiful family. It reminds me of my story and my love for Honduras!

[@dannypattino6441]

Now there millions of gringos 🇺🇲 livin in México and thats cool cuz our Américan friends they have to know whats good in life 🇲🇽🌟😎🌟🇲🇽

[@emiliaalvarado16]

[@DP-wn6gw]

Erin, I give you props! With gods grace anything is possible. My blessings for you and all your family much love Dalila😘🙏🏼

[@bajaboy29]

Buenos dias except today I'm in Mexicali, BC. I'll go back to our village on Sunday, voting day. Immigration can be crazy on both sides of the border. Our family are all residents of Mexico and in a few years will apply for citizenship. I wish you the best of luck! Now my wife is watching, too! Have a great day!

[@momsyy]

Hello! My name is Rebecca and I am a mother of four from Illinois. My husband is from Morelia, Michoacan and we are going through the process of him getting his papers as well. We are at the last step of waiting for the appointment in Juarez. My husband always talks about the wonders of when he was a kid in Mexico in his small rancho. I never understood him because my life has always been in the suburbs surrounding Chicago. He always says how free he felt there and I always thought we were in the "Land of the Free". Watching your videos has given me a perspective of what it is like there and it seems so similar to what my husband describes his town to be like. Your videos make me want to move to Mexico as my husband dreams, so my children can grow up with a sense of community, safety, and freedom. I enjoy watching your videos and think it's amazing how you handle your household with your husband in the U.S. Question: How did you get into photography and did you go to school for it? Thanks for reading my comment if you get to it :D

[@martincholanillo1229]

Your story is so fascinating,yes rancho life is so lay back and satisfying, but it could be tough if you don’t have money to just have basic day to day necessities, but you seem to be doing well, best of luck

[@joselinaortega548]

I enjoy your family,keep being humble as you are,and also you are a great mother and very sweet to the kids,Iam from Dominican Republic but I have been in United States for about 40 years

[@ginabowley1035]

Good morning Erin the goat was so precious she's looking a little more steady just keep up the good work with her beautiful day beautiful video you're such an inspiring person God bless you and your family always❤❤from Florida

[@junemiller7166]

Isn't it wonderful how the lord takes something meant for bad and turns it into something glorious? Praise God always for Jesus is king. You were meant to be in mexico.

[@stephanielance9678]

I found you last night and binged for a few hours! We live in AZ and go to Mexico often and I would love to live there full time! The nicest people in the world! Can be VERY scary for someone new going there, so I do understand your concerns. Have a lovely day!

[@TUPELO_HUNNY]

I moved to Mexico about 4 years ago and I promise going back to visit the US is much scarier than living here ❤❤❤

[@stephanielance9678]

@user-wm1pi1ix2i I can totally see that! Glad you got the opportunity to move down there too.

[@Rose-dy5bb]

I was recommended your channel I guess because I was on a kick of watching videos of real yummy tacos lol glad your channel is booming ❤️

[@touchoflighthomesteadmexico]

lol me 2 ! Tacos are amazing. have a blessed day

[@tracymsnrn4596]

KZbin put one of your videos in my feed the other day. I’m loving it! Your channel is the only one not focused on retirement and not located in the bigger cities. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I absolutely love your channel! I have been planning on moving to Merida when i retire. Im so glad you are happy in Mexico. Its so beautiful ❤

[@stevesancedo8821]

Cool story! New to your vlogs/Channel was wondering what your families story was? Very interesting have a lot of questions? But I guess as I watch more and look up some of the old videos it will make more sense! Getting close to retirement and very interested in relocating your Channel seems pretty genuine! Some of the other stories I watch seem a lil bit off! My grandparents we’re immigrants. Very interesting story how they arrived in the Unite States. I’m really fascinated of all the Americans moving to Mexico. Thank you for your stories and life endeavors.

[@touchoflighthomesteadmexico]

Good morning :) I will be doing a live tonight with my husband if you have more questions, we would be glad to answer :) Have a blessed day

[@stevesancedo8821]

Thank you! You are so kind and genuine. Will try and get on your channel this evening. Have a great day with your family🙏

North Carolina here! I just stumbled on you this past week and I absolutely love you/your family and your story! I am also praying for you! I saw on one episode you were finding old seaglass like glass and being an artist I started talking to the screen 😂. You should push these randomly into your stone walls to add a bit of sparkle when that beautiful Mexican sun hits it. Ok stay blessed!🙏❤️🙏

[@millyfields2024]

I came across your channel a few days ago and I love your vlogs! My dad is from Jalisco and it looks almost exactly like where you live! We lived in Mexico for a few years when we were younger I’m from Arizona. I do miss Mexico so much especially the taquitos! No tacos like the ones in Mexico 😩 keep posting I love your Mexico vlogs 🤩❤️

[@mschilepepper10]

Thank you for explaining your life so happy you and your family are where your heart wants to be. God Bless

[@fishchick72]

My husband is a permanent legal resident. When I first met him I was clueless about immigration & he taught me a lot. He had come here with his family as a teenager.

[@aliciarantz]

Lovely story!!! I’ll bet it’s such a slow paced life, much more than in the States.

[@castillomary4]

Hello beautiful family, I am new to your vlogs but I have been binge watching your videos of beautiful Mexico. Ironically I live in El Paso, TX and Juarez MX is our sister city. I love the life you and your husband are building for your family. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God Bless. ❤❤❤❤💙💙

[@alanadidonato147]

Beautiful! Mexico is my favorite place. I am from Michigan too but have been many times, including living with a family for a foreign exchange. Just found your channel and subbed.

[@deannharris2424]

This is a beautiful story. It's truly inspiring.

[@mariaarias5985]

Good morning Erin. Love those tacos. There the best at the rancho.😊

[@monicaz5891]

Buenos dias! I love your videos & updates💜 One thing I thought of a couple times, I really encourage you to speak with your immigration attorney so you can check on any requirements to also maintain US citizenship for all your family while you all are in Mexico - particularly since you publicly post & document your lives in Mexico. Being informed is important. Praying continued blessings over you & your family 💜✝️💜

[@DirectedbyLeo.]

Queso de mesa on the tacos! Good idea!

[@touchoflighthomesteadmexico]

Its so good :) Have a blessed day thank you for watching

[@chrisgarcia5462]

In Brownsville Tx ,and Matamoros Mex we use queso Panella, Avacodo and saute onions in our tacos.

[@irmab9044]

Hello from California 🌸🍃, I was struck by your beautiful red hair and there you were speaking Spanish. I really like your videos and how you celebrate your familia. I have subscribed and look forward to your adventures in Mexico. I am Yaqui Mexican American. My mother was from the Sierra Madre between Chihuahua and Sonora near Hermosillo. As kids we heard all the stories of hidden gold too. Have fun, be safe. ✨🙏🏽✨

You hit on a lot of things that my family went through as far an immigration process. We share that story for sure. I have a question. Do you have a well ? Where do you get your water from ? Guayavas are amazing. One of my fav fruits. Thanks for sharing. Catch you on the next one.

[@touchoflighthomesteadmexico]

HI :) We dont have a well. we have an old one thats dried up in the back but we do want to consider drilling for one. right now we use the big jugs for drinking water.have a blessed day

[@dianeowen9433]

Hi I found your page by chance and love it! I am from North Carolina and now live married in Guatemala. My mom is from Costa Rica and dad is from NC but I learned to speak spanish when I was around 10. My parents took the decision to move to Costa Rica with your same ideal, offering us kids a great place to grow up. My sisters and I became fluent in spanish pretty fast going to school. I can identify so much things with you all, it feels like what we did! In another video you posted you asked how you wondered how your kids brain flipped from spanish to english and vice versa, for us when we spoke in spanish normally we thought in spanish and when speaking english our chip moved and thought in english LOL, it is still like that for us now! All though now married to a Guatemalan I get to speak more in spabish cause I do not have anyone to speak in english with me, or should I say my spanglish! Don't loose faith, you will learn spanigh, just try to speak more in spanish and try translating words and memorizing meanings, you will build up your vocabulary fast and bit by bit you will speak it more fluently. Also try to watch TV in spanish, its incredible but you learn a lot doing so! God bless you all, saludos desde Guatemala- Espero puedas leer esto pronto!

[@JanaJacob-ii1bq]

Seeing those tacos made me want to get on a plane and fly right there! The walks at night are my favorite! love from Myrtle Beach!

Aunque ya conocía tu historia de inmigración, no conocía el dato de que hubieran venido cuando solo tenían a Abby, me gustaría que en un video futuro, quizás cuando llegues a 20 mil suscriptores cuentes mas detalladamente tu historia, te escribo siempre en español porque quiero que aprendas bien el español para que puedas comunicarte mucho mejor con la gente de tu rancho y cuando vas a Ocotlán, continuo viendo los demás videos.

Your husband probably came across the wrong officer when it comes to interview. Same thing happened to me. I got interviews by a strict mean and inhuman officer...so I got denied as well.. I ended up staying here in Mexico...it's been 8years here and I found true love ..I have a lil family formed by my husband and my baby. I want to love mexico as well but unfortunately the state where I live it not as safe and calm as ocotlan

[@Lalozaragoza26]

In not sure exactly what happened but I’m glad it did I remember at the time I was so upset and now I understand why it happened… thanks for watching and commenting.. saludos 👋

[@evem4876]

My Tio had both Citizenships the USA 🇺🇲 n Mexico .. He owned a big gorgeous home in Mexico City but , only visited it once in awhile cause he ran a business in California . Out of everyone in the family he was the only one born in Chihuahua, Mexico . My grandparents crossed legally way back then when he was two ...Once they got to Texas in fact after a yr then they moved to California n my Father was born after three other children my Tia's n Tio's ... I'm third generation my kids are fourth generation , My parents were flunt in Spanish n English my own parents never traveled or went to Mexico , my father even served in WW2 . I know very little Spanish enough to get by , I never wanted to learn my father spoke to us in Spanish n we would say talk English to us Dad . I regret that now that, I'm older ... I married a Mexican guy we knew each other in HS my brother 's best friend . Hi's parents also were born in California they speak both languages too. My children don't speak Spanish either except for two who are learning now , cause they need to speak to co workers my son's both own there own companys 'in Vegas n California . I just started watching u channel n I'm glad to see u raising hr children to know there heritage there their Father's n culture it's very important today ... Ty for sharing with all of us ur story ...🌸 I love my Mexican traditions n have taught all to my children n there teaching them to all my seven grandkids now ... Familia is everything 🙏

[@ElizRued]

Thanks for sharing! It's never too late to learn Spanish or get mexican citizenship. You can get citizenship through your grandparents (or parents too if they got registered in Mexico after they were born in the us), so it opens doors to more opportunities! U just need to show their birth certificates at consulate. So easy. Greetings

[@Feefee-rd8bd]

We are from the other side of the laguna near Joco have not been back to visit in a while Juarez is close by where I live now

No. In the major cities of the US, in Mexican neighborhoods/areas, you can get authentic, real Mexican food--especially tacos, made by Mexicans--you know, the ones that know a thing or two about Mexican cuisine.

[@donnaspencer2953]

So did your in-laws all move back to the ranchero as well?

[@rodolforamirezbarraza2685]

[@ginaaragon2123]

What city do you guys live in? My husband is from Guadalajara and we visit about 2 times a year. We also went through the immigration process but I met my husband while traveling in Mexico, he never stepped foot in the U.S until we got him his visitor visa 2 years ago.

We will be going through this process. I’m so scared of getting denied and I have a baby. Please give us tips
