Where Have We Been?

[@ritas5577]

Nirvana! I would love to hear more about your diet and your house/yard work. Glad you are living life and having fun!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We can definitely share more about those things. Thanks for continuing to watch our channel (despite the long pause).

[@stlcardinals380]

The fact that you’re willing to put down the camera to live life makes me respect you even more. So many vloggers record that whole process and the content is usually trash cause they’re too stressed. I’m glad I found you guys in 2018 when I was moving to Arizona you helped me so much. I still follow your old IG 😂 glad to see you’re doing well

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Glad you understand where we’re coming from. We never want to put out videos that aren’t any good just to keep up a schedule or because of obligation. We try to keep it fun for everybody, including us. And we can’t seem to part with the old IG. lol Lots of good memories there. Can’t believe we’ve been doing this since 2018!

[@npare824]

Oh, that waving at other jeep people thing had me dying. I remember having to teach my dad how to do the casual, low wave at other bikers when he bought his Harley. haha I had to drop in and see what you guys were up to these days as you haven't been posting. My family is originally from Ohio. We found your channel many moons ago and it helped us take the plunge to move to AZ. We are closing in on 5 years here now and absolutely ready to come back home. We have never lived in Michigan but decided it best suits our family. We've decided to move back at Christmas time. :-) Maybe we will catch you guys around sometime. Congrats on your daughter's first job! My incredibly shy 16 year old is nervously applying for her first job right now, too. Such a fun and exciting time!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Welcome to Michigan in advance! Seems like we travel around the same states (we’re originally from Ohio). Hope it all goes well for you during the move. It’s been interesting watching our oldest get used to working. She likes the extra money, if not always the working part lol. Thanks for checking in!

[@theflygrannybk27]

Just found you guys! I'm In Arizona transplanted from NYC 2 yrs ago, and saw your Prescott vid. Subscribed. Cheers!!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Awesome. Hope you’re enjoying AZ and thanks for the sub!

[@johnbob4545]

Oh ya they're back. Been craving the Midwest vibe since i moved to Las Cruces. Please give more! It's that time of year that's perfect up there. Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, M-22. I do miss it in the fall.

[@doreenlatimer6379]

So good to see you all again. Had been wondering about you. Happy you can be more active during summers. AZ heat has been ridiculous. Camping in backyard is perfect. A dog completes the family.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We’ve heard about that AZ weather this Summer! Despite the heat and humidity here, we’ve definitely been able to enjoy the outdoors a lot more. We just camped again in the backyard yesterday.

[@suziem935]

It’s so Wonderful to see you all,,,, God bless

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks for sticking around. We really appreciate it!

[@prej1741]

Phoenix Gilbert is so cute! Looks just like my dog but mines gray & white 🥰 Missed ur videos take care

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks for coming back to watch!

[@HollyDJonez]

Just dropping by. You all came across my mind and I hope that you all are still doing fine!! ❤ I get the name of your cute dog! 🌵🌵. How awesome!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks for thinking of us. We are still doing well. About to be jealous of you AZ folks as the weather changes here. lol But hopefully we can stop procrastinating and get another video out before a year passes like last time!

[@petebrown3715]

Great surprise to see and hear you all. Glad all is well in Michigan. I'm still doing well since I moved to Arizona from Chicago. Loving it down here in Arizona. The sun, warmth are all helping out my multiple health issues overall. Hope to see more videos soon.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Glad you are doing so well in AZ! Sounds like it was worth the wait!

[@kemi1486]

It’s wonderful to see you all. Congrats on the weightloss and also the new pup. I didn’t realize your daughter was old enough to have a job lol. Everyone is growing in many ways

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thank you. We can’t believe she’s old enough to have a job either! lol They are all growing so fast…

[@matthearne4849]

Phoenix Gilbert! I do know it and love the name! A little buggy where you are. Oklahoma City is going okay, but I still miss AZ a little. It has been a year since my departure from The Valley. It's still very hot down here in Oklahoma. Looking forward to cooler weather. Surprisingly, no mosquito issues here. So glad you guys dropped a video. All of you look great! :>) - Matt

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We thought some of our subscribers would appreciate the name of our dog. lol And yeah, we still miss AZ some even after almost two years. Hope Oklahoma City grows on you a bit more. This second year here has been better than the first as we settle in.

[@mariannebrowne7398]

Glad all is well with you all! It’s been so hot for so long in AZ this summer the cactus are dying

[@LivinOurDreamz]

I bet you will be glad for Fall after the summer weather! We are enjoying the last days of Summer, despite the higher than normal temps.

[@theconsultant8732]

If that little kid needs an agent, look me up. He's going to be somebody someday. Quite the entertainer. Love the knees song. lol

[@LivinOurDreamz]

He’s been an entertainer from the beginning. We’re always wondering what he’s going to do or say next. lol

[@donjuan914]

I couldn’t remember what your channel was called, so I typed “Arizona family that moved back to Michigan” and this came up lol. Glad to see you all are doing well. I’ve never been to Michigan, but can imagine it being a very beautiful place (outside of winter). 😉. Ps. Sorry about your Jim Harbaugh loss.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

That’s interesting how we came up in the search like that. lol Not happy to see Harbaugh go, but the one positive is that we don’t have to go through the “is he staying or is he going?” drama every year now.

[@theflygrannybk27]

Impressive guitar playing little one!!!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We told him about your comment and it made his day.

[@mabstoabx21]

Welcome back, so good to know you guys are ok and I am looking forward to more videos from your family.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thank you! Hopefully we won’t be taking another extended break like that. lol

[@geneanuts]

Looking good! Hi from AZ! Nothing to scrape or shovel!😅

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Hey there! We’ll be envying your scraping and shoveling in few short months. We’re enjoying the summer while it lasts here!

[@tiphaniethomas9325]

I been a fan of yall for years and lived in AZ and then left lol went back to Milwaukee WI but now moving back to AZ next year. Your son on the guitar has mad skills and congrats to your daughters job as well. And Phoenix is so cute and a burst of energy....Glad to see the whole fam happy and livin it up!!

[@tiphaniethomas9325]

Also awesome sauce on the weight loss!! Health is wealth

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks for being one of the OGs! We will pass on the congrats and compliments (our son loves to hear them about his guitar playing lol). Good luck on your move back to AZ. We know that place is hard to quit!

[@tiphaniethomas9325]

Omg! 😏 Y'all already know what it is...I been tried to let AZ like for real go but it always come back to me. My Milwaukee WI and AZ (East Valley) always running neck & neck with each other for so long and for sooo many reasons each of their own. I Try and something gotta give lol smh. But Thank you!

[@rubyjreads7503]

Vegan diet rocks. I'm enjoying the vegan lifestyle. I'm from Mi. Im glad you guys are having a good times. I miss my home. I plan to visiting my home of Detroit very soon.

[@prej1741]

We just moved to MI too from AZ ☺️

[@LivinOurDreamz]

How long has it been since you moved? Thoughts about it so far?

[@prej1741]

@@LivinOurDreamz Moved here 2 months ago. Love it so far 😍 House hunting was exhausting but finally found one in Bloomfield Hills. Excited to move in next month

[@PsychHacks]

I may have to come visit you, as I’m not that far away.

[@zerohecks4864]

Some say your dog is a ray of sunshine. Good seeing you all.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

He’s definitely brought a lot of joy to our family. Good to be back and hearing from you guys as well!

[@mgarner1227]

I've missed you guys! I'm so glad you're back and doing well.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We’re glad to be back after such a long absence. Our kids kept asking if we were done with the channel and when we were going to make another video. They missed taking over our videos. lol

[@jeanner62901]

So good seeing all of you! Love hearing about all about the activities! Yay! Happy upcoming Labor Day weekend!

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks. Happy Labor Day to you as well. Great hearing from you guys!

No tofurkey!! But vegan is a healthy lifestyle. Happy you are all doing well.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Tofurkey is going a step too far. lol But yes, life is good!

[@davidparnell1903]

92 degrees in Phoenix this morning! Highs today 113! I will tell you that last month was absolutely a nightmare! Last month was the hottest month on record with an average temperature of 102.7 degrees! That blew out the old record of 99.1 degrees set in August 2020, a record i thought wasn't going to fall by the waste side anytime soon but it has! 3 days at 119 degrees, 4 more days at 118 degrees, 31 consecutive days at or above 110, 16 consecutive days with lows 90+ including an all time record warm low temperature of 97 degrees on july 19th! And a morning when i woke up at 4:00 a.m. it was still 102 degrees! 102 at 4:00 a.m. never happened before! Also 0.06 of rain this monsoon season! 2020 had 1.00 of rain so if this trend continues we'll blow away 2020 with the driest monsoon on record

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Boy those are not the kind of records you want to break. Hoping the Fall goes better for you guys!

[@carlamarie6285]

Glad to see you all! I was wondering what was going on.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

We didn’t mean to go missing this long. lol We’d plan to make a video and never got to it. Feels good to make a video again.

[@billcahill3196]

[@scottjackson5422]

Glad to see you again. I was wondering what was going on with the family. I thought you decided not to do the channel anylonger. I am happy for what you are doing to enhance all of your lives. God bless.

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Thanks for coming back to watch. It’s been so long, after awhile we weren’t sure if anyone would still be interested in what’s going on. Lol But it feels good to do a video again.

[@ewetoob137]

What part of the south is good?

[@LivinOurDreamz]

Sorry to hear that it hasn’t worked out for you. It’s not for everyone.
