Starting a Long Distance Relationship with my BF of 3 years + a weekend in AZ 🧡

[@HappyGilmore924]

Good on you for not filming your goodbye with Ian when you could have done so for views/drama. Some moments are just private.

[@lucynx1511]

So mature of you Avia, its so nice to know that you and Ian only want the best for each other as you become adults and figure out life...and it just makes the times you get to see each other now oh so extra special :)

[@kaylavictoria5360]

Just remember whatever happens, happens for a reason. If it’s meant to be, it will be❤️

[@linadams1965]

The controlled fire is to prevent actual random uncontrolled brush fires. So they got rid of all the dead plants/weeds/overgrowth so there isn’t a very dangerous fire.

[@cuponchip1907]

My boyfriend and I have been doing long distance for 5 years now, he also goes to ASU funnily enough. It’s tough but also makes the heart grow fonder and makes your time together even more special. Also, Tempe is such a fun city to both live in and visit so take those trips! A piece of advice, just remember that long distance is temporary. In the moment it feels like forever and it sucks but in the long run it is just a small portion of your life. Wishing the best for both of y’all.

[@AshlynnTaylorsVersion]

I met my boyfriend online 4 and a half years ago and we have been doing long distance ever since. We live 3000 miles apart. I have lost count of how many times we have met up (it's a lot haha), but one thing I know for sure is that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I love him so much, and I wouldn't change the way our relationship has played out at all. Good luck, Avia and Ian, I believe you will make it through this chapter of your lives, it won't be easy, but stay strong and remember that communication is key. ❤️

[@ItsATwinThingvlogs]

i love how supportive you are of Ian, Avia :') warms my heart and I know that this will make your relationship even stronger

[@cetvideos]

I moved away for college and was in a long distance relationship for 3.5 years! We are married now and have been together 16 years 💕💕 stay strong! It sucks but it’s just a part of the adventure of life together 🎉

[@Nina-nb3sg]

Just putting it out there. I’m 24 and I met my bf in high school. He went away to college and I stayed for a trimester before I decided to go to the same college. We’ve been together 7.5 years now :) but, I think it’s also totally okay if it doesn’t work out, honestly it usually never does. If it doesn’t, it will hurt terribly but it’s life experience most people have. Good luck ❤️

[@0MissElizabeth0]

aww Good Luck🍀 with your new team, Ian ! I'm excited to hear what YOUR next move is, Avia!!

[@melrose3429]

Avia I just love your mindset!!! ❤

[@ivdddoxiemama7275]

So happy for you Avia Congrats!! Hang on to Ian he's such a sweet person and you deserve such a great guy!! Praying for you all. I hope all your dreams and wishes come true. God bless🙏🙏💖🤗🧑‍🎓

[@samanthalibby2935]

hope you had a great time! they do the controlled burns to get rid of any brush that may fuel a forest fire since the sun can start one when there’s a dry heat!

[@lovelyghost1775]

The controlled fires are for burning away the dead tree limbs,leafs, and debris to prevent wild fires. (One of the many reasons)

[@AviaColette]

Ohhhhh makes sense

[@lovelyghost1775]

Yea we get those a lot in oklahoma

[@klaudiaczubajewska]

you guys will do amazing I know it, you are perfect for each other ❤

[@barrycarey7521]

The correct answer for the controlled fires is, for the fire triangle a fire requires 3 things Fuel, Oxygen and heat so if you remove one of them it prevents fires , in that case they are removing the fuel from along the side of the road by using it up in a controlled situation so that if someone discards a cigarette or something like a glass bottle by littering it is less likely to cause an uncontrolled fire. It is often done in woodland where a strip of trees are cut down and removed and all the brush is burnt to create a fire divide making it difficult for fire to jump areas. Nothings perfect as sometimes wind ( increased oxygen flow ) can cause fires to burn hotter and more intensely and a small tinder can jump divides and start another fire but overall it’s a preventative measure used to reduce the risk / chance of uncontrolled fires.

[@yooosaidbecca]

Hi sweet girl!!! Been following you since you were a little girl on Shaytards and felt compelled to tell you that my husband and Is situation was similar to you and Ian’s. We met in high school, started dating my senior year his junior year and ended up going to different colleges and committing to atleast 5 years of long distance. Such a scary and daunting idea but we knew that whatever was meant to be will be - flash forward to now and we’re married and happier than ever :) Wishing you both the best! Focus on yourselves and your goals and if you’re meant to stay together, everything will fall into place!

[@oliviagroeneveld3030]

I'm from Australia and we do those controlled fires out on our bush areas. I believe it's because if you burn grass then it can't catch on fire again, meaning that the extreme heat we get doesn't cause massive out of control bushfires that reach the roads or houses

[@katelyn_love]

Yup! It’s a practice that started from our Aboriginal people and prevents larger fires in the drier months :)

[@BMarie774]

Controlled burns are to get rid of material that will spread fires later. Let’s say someone throws a cigarette out the window. With certain grasses, they’ll catch, and it’ll quickly become uncontrolled.

[@110laceywhitneyshow1]

you are sucha mature queen avia. i’m so excited to see where you go in this life!! 🤍

[@lindseygrass3353]

Controlled burns are done to rid a forest of dead leaves, tree limbs, and other debris, and can help prevent a destructive wildfire. Our local park does this yearly, and everything grows back super fast after a controlled burn.

[@babyfrog357]

I did long distance for 9 months, it’s very hard but really proves if the relationship is meant to be :) makes you appreciate your time together even more, best of luck to you both!

[@noura4157]

what happened after nine months😅?

[@babyfrog357]

@@noura4157 I moved back!!! Hahah I should have clarified.

[@Jackert86]

Best of luck Avia&Ian and all the very best for your future life together❤️🙏🏻

[@unoriginxlity]

not me crying at the end thinking about how sad i was when last August my boyfriend of 4 years moved only 2 hours away for college but it’s so much worse than the 10 minute drive to his parents house😭😭 college to home relationships suck

[@dray2882]

controlled fires are to prevent wildfires by lessening the amount of dry fuel for fires! in some places overgrowth causes the extremity of wildfires

[@megamissdi971]

All the best for you two 🍀 so excited for what the future holds for all of you ❤

[@laurenokeeffe4059]

Back burning as we call in in Australia is so that if a wild fire starts It won’t go over the already burnt bits because it would have nothing to burn. (My husband a fireman told me that.)

[@stellacrobinson]

So proud of you two

[@sararivera4473]

When it comes to the contained fires, some environments are kept maintained through them for the ecosystem can thrive. I went to a trip recently and at first thought it was a freak fire but my sister informed me on it, really cool!

[@chrisoulalakkas7935]

Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.

[@ell040]

I'm going to be a senior at ASU this upcoming school year! I'm a Vegas native so I'm used to the heinous weather but I love it here, and I think Ian will like it too! ASU has a great student life atmosphere and there's a lot to do here, especially if you love hiking. Good luck to him and everything he does here! Long distance is not easy by any means, but if you both put in the effort then it'll be a breeze :) If you ever need suggestions for things to do in or around Tempe (or even day trips outside of the city), I would be more than happy to give you some, just some little activities to do when you come visit!

[@anayarose]

Avia I’ve been watching you & your family for so long & I just realized we’re the same age! Me & my bf are also gonna be long distance we’ve been together for 4yrs.. he’s gonna be 11hrs away pursuing his college career in football as well. I hope everything works out for you guys❤️

[@karianderson6551]

Controlled burns are lit for a number of reasons. By ridding a forest of dead leaves, tree limbs, and other debris, a prescribed burn can help prevent a destructive wildfire. Controlled burns can also reduce insect populations and destroy invasive plants. In addition, fire can be rejuvenating.

[@scrumps101]

Controlled burns are typically done for weed control. Not only are weeds obnoxious and take root quickly making the ground difficult to manage but weeds are extremely dry and catch fire quickly, essentially a fire hazard. Destroying weeds on a controlled basis leaves little room for them to catch fire unintentionally and get out of control therefore becoming dangerous.

[@distemic]

That’s awesome. My parents spend their winters Arizona and not far from asu. My dad and I have gone to their baseball games the last two springs I’ve been there

[@TheAmethystbutterfly]

Such a mature head on such young shoulders. Hope you’re okay ? Sending love from london UK 💜

[@alisonxkayy]

When my husband and I were dating he left for his mission, and that was sooo hard. He came back after 3 months for health reasons but we were able to live our lives apart then and now we have a beautiful daughter. It sucks but it’ll be all worth it in the end! ❤️ wishing the best for you two!

[@AlexMedeiros-yp1yn]

i remember when my ex boyfriend and i were ab to start long distance the day before he left we were hanging out and he was on his phone most of the time and our relationship was already going to shit and all he could talk ab was how he couldn’t wait to leave as i’m like sobbing bc i’m gonna miss him so much and he pretty much yelled at me for crying and didn’t even care. that hurt

[@SadieeeSweeet]

I'm in the UK but met my husband at 18 at college and we have been together 14 years now and have a nearly 2 year old. Sometimes things work out! 💘

[@dancer2106]

The controlled fires are to keep the rubbish tamed. If they dont do them every so often, the dry and dead plants could cause an outbreak and burn everything down. So the controlled ones are good for the environment:)

[@jeffcoury]

They are called control burns it’s so if a wild fire does happen there’s nothing left for the fire to burn

[@shyannegolden915]

The controlled fires are to prevent wilds fires they do it so often in wooden areas

[@Kenna_WWJD]

Love your vids and your so pretty Avia!! 💕

[@HouseMDaddict]

That's awesome he's at ASU! Hes a great kicker and I'm sure he'll be utilized well there! Would he ever want to pursue NFL at some point or is he just enjoying playing while pursuing a major?

[@rmirmn1777]

Dead grass and dead and growth takes less energy for a fire to burn through than living plants. Watching videos of controlled burning is very cool, the fire follows paths of dead grass and avoids living grass. Also I’m long distance too! 1.5 years. You’ll learn how to study and call at the same time dw

[@Linn85]

Controlled fires can be for different reasons like dead leafs and debris as well as fallen tree limbs and that can make sure a very massive wildfire dosent happen.

[@jacob_moran22]

Ian is a stud, happy for both of y’all, very exciting futures!

[@chelseacoe5270]

Stoppp

[@em9350]

Typically controlled fires are done as a preventative measure for wildlife’s bc fires can’t burn the same area twice in a season :)

[@josgibb8602]

They do controlled burns so that wildlfires are less severe as they have less fuel

[@deannasmith9406]

Arizonan here.. we have lots of wildfires in the summer. They are burning the rubbage to help prevent a massive wildfire.

[@deannasmith9406]

Oh and I graduated from ASU. Love it.

[@amandanicolearts]

It’s so weird to see you on my college campus lol. I just graduated from ASU in May 2022, the winters here are beautiful btw Ian will love living in AZ!!

[@Candyelion]

Aw I’ve lived in az my whole life, you guys should go to Sedona and the Grand Canyon

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Avia good morning happy Monday morning and happy summer day and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@CherryBerry48]

aww good luck in your college life Ian

[@ChloelWolfe]

Controlled burns get rid of dying brush or dry plants so they don’t spark wild fires!

[@kaylacovers970]

People burn bushes and grass areas “on purpose” in a controlled environment to stimulate and encourage new plant growth.

Ian has a better chance of being noticed by an NFL team at Arizona State, which plays in the Pac 12 Conference. There are currently openings for placekickers with the Cowboys, Rams, Packers, Titans, Buccaneers. and 49ers. Arizona just signed a veteran kicker who holds a bunch of NFL records, Matt Prater, who held the record for longest field goal.
