I’ve said this before but it’s the health of your marriage that makes your channel

I am almost 92 years old and I have been enjoying you beautiful people ever since you left the police force in Seattle and set out to find a place just like you found to make the future for you and your family more like what I used to call normal. That was back in the 1950’s. That was when Father knows best was a lot more than a TV show. I am not only thoroughly entertained by your family, your blog but I appreciate the fact that you are willing to share it with me!!! Frankly speaking, I hope you make tons of money so you can go to Italy and Greece and take your family there. You guys ROCK!!! M

Very sweet. Very kind words, thank you.

Speaking about the parenting, our former pastor use to dedicate newborns like most churchs. But, when he would, he would give them a gift of two vases. One that is empty and one that has 940 marbles. Each week they are alive, you transfer one marble to the empty vase. He reminds them that you have 940 weeks to imprint on them until they turn 18 years old. It creates such a profound image.

I never heard this. Made me cry--One minute I had twins and now they are turning 18 in August--Time is a thief.

My immediate response when you mentioned people getting ugly about how you got your puppy really pushed my buttons. You are definitely nicer than me because I would have been ugly back. No one else is responsible for the choices you make, so to me it is none of their business what or why you make those choices. As an older adult, I do not really understand the concept that others 'have the right' to know or expect personal questions to be answered. I love that both of you are such strong adults, well grounded in who and what you believe that you are able to let it run off you. I 100% agree that your children are with you for such a short period of time, so spending that time with them is so important. You guys are inspiring and really are setting great examples for others who need to see this that making family first is not wrong

I agree 100%. I have raised and trained (protection training as well) German Shepherds for over 45 years now. As much as I support rescue for dogs, cats, etc, I would not rescue a German Shepherd for many of the same reasons Jeremy and Melissa said. I also live on a very rural acreage, and I NEED to know I can leave my dogs home and know all the other animals and people will be safe. If you rescue say a 4-year-old German Shepherd who unknowingly was abused or aggressive, you are putting your family at unnecessary risk. German Shepherds, much like Rotties and Pitbulls can be extremely aggressive, especially if they have been mistreated by previous owners. I always get my GSDs as pups, so they can be raised in my family, with our own rules, training, and boundaries. For those that attacked this wonderful couple for wanting to get a pup, well, I`ll just say "screw them".

I AGREE! I watch this to support them but I also feel like their information is no one else’s business.

I just want to say Public school teaches kids it is ok to be bullied and teaches bullies that they can get away with it. My granddaughter was homeschooled from 5th grade on. At 17 she got her first job at a large grocery store chain. During her first year she was promoted and received 3 raises. Then a bully her age started calling her some horrendous names and harassing her. She found out he was targeting a certain group of women and young girls like herself. Nobody had reported him so she did. He was written up but again bullies are taught they are going to get away with it so he continued. He was then fired. My granddaughter had just arrived for work and on his way out he threatened her life. Still knowing not to provoke him and how to handle it she backed away and did not confront him and then once again told her managers what had just happened. The threat he made was serious enough that they called the police. The police escorted all the closers from the store to their car that night and have remained a strong presence at the store. They also went to speak to him and his parents at his home. If my granddaughter had gone to public school she would have become used to being bullied and not done anything. Instead she knew how to handle the situation and her coworkers were grateful for her help in getting rid of him. My husband and I are both prior military and have constantly taught our children and grandchildren how to react in certain situations and to always stay vigilant. Public school teaches kids to sit and wait for someone to tell them what to do. Being homeschooled my granddaughter had learned how to take control of a situation.

You just hit a spot with me Melissa. My happiest time was when my kids were tiny and all under our roof. I loved it just like you. They are now 51, 47, 45! Proud of them. One is a doctor, one owns his own guitar making business and the other is a Librarian and Preacher's wife but I wish I could go back. Not because I have any regrets but because it was such a joyous time. :)

When I get asked how my husband and I have been married as long as we have I say one word - forgiveness. No marriage is perfect, but if we can accept we're going to mess up and forgive one another and keep going then there's a good chance you're going to make your marriage work. My husband and I married when I was a week over 16 and he was 18. We'll be celebrating 51 years of marriage this summer!!

@@lacuna_matata_9261 the reality is that they CREATED their opportunity. They lived on one income, drove cash/paid for vehicles, saved/did side hustles, etc. ALL with the end game in mind. They WORKED TOGETHER to build momentum as quickly as possible and it still took 10+ years to accomplish the ability to make a change. They also built their vacation time around traveling to Idaho to look for land - did it over 2 or 3 years before the door opened for this 20 acres - so persevering, patient, steadfast in their vision/goals, and being willing to sacrifice in the relatively short term to achieve the long term goal...and if you go back and see their earliest videos, Jeremy wasn't a huge fan of them because they didn't make any money off of it for a very long time. But because Melissa was consistent in generating content by the time they reached Idaho and had a stunning location with huge goals - her work efforts had built a good base in the algorithms to make the jump to larger audiences, sponsors, etc. and before they knew it, Jeremy's lost income as a police officer had been replaced with KZread/sponsor/merch sales, etc.

Social media has sadly become a platform for bullying & many negative comments I have seen on various channels is a form of bullying that those people would probably not say face to face.

Yes, being grateful for all the Lord has blessed us with is the source of my joy! Happiness can be relative to the situation you might be experiencing because of something that has happened to someone you love! But losing your joy and hope in life is something we all have to fight against! Waking up every morning and choosing thankfulness is the best way to start your day! 🤗

Dr. Wayne Dyer had a quote he used to present, "What you think of me is none of my business." It has to do with owning your own self value rather than making it dependent upon what others think of you. It may sound elitist, but it really isn't, it is more about appreciating your own uniqueness, and not degrading it by conforming to what others think about you and what you do. That being said, it is always appreciated when others express acceptance, love and gratitude because those are life supporting and engender a greater sense of community. These days with so many factions trying to create divisiveness, it is essential to be the best version of yourself you can be and build common unity (community) with those of like mind and spirit. Out of that long blurb, "be the best version of yourself" is the most important endeavor anyone can pursue. Thank you for what you do. It is thoughtful and appreciated by many.

Excellent answers. I almost felt guilty listening to this one because I actually don’t feel entitled to know your personal business. I’ll never understand the people who demand to know things about you that is beyond what you choose to divulge. It almost always comes from jealousy. Your answers always represent your desire to put family first and I respect that.

Jeremy and Melissa. The blessings of the Lord makes us rich and adds no sorrows. Continue to be grateful in your manyblessings. Sometimes it can be overwhelming at the goodness of God. You guys are an inspiration of what family should look like.

We have been married 45 years July 20th. Until our kids were adults we were family oriented. We went to nice restaurants and let them know manners were required which wasn't a problem. Spending time with them was so rewarding. Seeing them as adults is rewarding. They are happy with their work and both family oriented. Communication is important. Respect for your spouse is so important. We love ❤️ Seeing you do things as a family and the love you share. ❤❤❤

I think the key to marital happiness is the ability to grow and change together, with respect, acceptance, encouragement and consideration. I absolutely see these wonderful qualities in you guys. Love your work since way back in the camper van!

Your comment on religion, and your walk and relationship with Jesus Christ is exactly what the lord wants nice and simple. God bless you and your family 🙏🏽

In my humble opinion; honesty, transparency and integrity highlight your channel’s over others! Your Faith shows through: As St. Francis said; Go out and preach the Gospel and sometimes use words! As a man of Faith, I see that in your videos! Kudos! Jeremy, as a huge 2A supporter, I am looking forward to seeing your “pew-pew” Range! God bless you guys and your continued success!

I agree wholeheartedly with you Melissa! Adopting a dog is like exploring an unknown planet!

God blessed you! Keeping him in the center of you home and life!

I have noticed that your kids especially the youngest two are true free spirits watching them pulling each other in the wagon playing in the field just playing in the dirt running with animals highlights the joy of childhood . I look forward to the end comments it many times puts Melissa's heart on her sleeve and opens my eyes to the trials and tribulations. Thank you for sharing your life

I was a single Mom and the one vacation I took without my boys I didn’t have as much fun as I did when we went as a family. We also learned that we had more fun with just us instead of when I allowed them to bring a friend or when we didn’t things with a group, say Boy Scouts. I wanted to experience life with my boys/family. That’s why I had a family. So I agree with you guys 100%.

You dealt with the complainers, whiners and rude comments very well. People should focus improving their lives, not yours! Love you guys!

I don't know why I am amazed with the questions people ask. I think it is truly rude to ask you about money. That is personal. Kudos for you guys answering that -I just don't think you should have to. Personally, I think people are jealous and this is why they ask these types of questions.

So much here! And it was all great. I have 5 kids and we homeschool them as well and they behave the same, like little adults. People are always surprised when we go places and they behave as well and often make comments on them. I love it and remind them all of the time that it makes me proud of them. Homeschooling has given us the opportunity to raise them how we choose and not how society deems acceptable, so I agree with you guys on every aspect of parenting. And you're right, there wouldn't be any happiness if they weren't safe and healthy. Parenting is a bitter sweet thing. 😊

I really love y'all. Thank you so much for sharing part of your lives' journey. It has been such a bright ray of sunshine, especially through turbulent times.

Great pod cast thank you ❤️ As for some of the questions just wow.. maybe I’m old but I would never question choices or put my opinion on someone on the internet. What I see in your channels are good people living the best way they can. None of us are perfect, wouldn’t that be boring 😮 keep being your authentic selves and continue to do what works for your family first. Much love from 🇨🇦

Really enjoy watching you guys. It's so good watching something positive. I see you guys as a ray of sunshine. Today, with all the problems people are having, it's good to take your eyes off of the problems and put them on something that makes you smile 😃. So, keep the videos coming. I will be watching.

As you probably could see I wrote my comment early in your program. I heard your positive comments later in the show. Thank you. My wife and I sincerely enjoy your Shows and we look forward to them each week. Your summation at the end touches us because we are deeper in life meaning we’ve lived the “go old days” you’re living now. Enjoy these days and look forward to the next chapters (We are to become Grandparents on 7/17! Yay!!!) See you around the panhandle! Mark

Peace and love you guys. You two are such fabulous role models! Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. ❤❤

Thank you again for sharing your life and love and praising God for it.

I enjoy both of your channels. You both keep it totally real.

Your family life is a breath of fresh air. Your wise decisions have matured into a blessed life. You both have set a really good example of kindness, peace and tenacity.

You folks have handled things well. You can't please everyone, you got to please yourself and you did this together! Thanks for sharing with us . Stay safe and keep up the great videos and fun around there. Fred.

Jeremy, and Malessa, you both have done great things with your videos. It is what you make it for all of us. Love you.

I love your videos. I have been watching for a while now. I love watching the property and home come together. We had a wood workshop, a stained glass workshop, and a few different crafts over many years. I love seeing the various building projects you have been through with your home. Seeing you build and create your own thing is fantastic.

You guys are the epitome of the American dream I love hearing and watching your stories
