Loved this! I cannot believe you both work full time . Unbelievable, you are amazing. And you Miss Crystal work with special needs children. I should have known. We have a special needs adult son we care for 24/7. He’s a rich blessing in our lives. We’ve encountered countless wonderful therapists over the years. Managing that office must be quite the trick. Take care! Val C ❤🙏🏻

That was fun! I don't like "gossip", but I've always been fascinated by other people's lives & how they got where they are, etc. Everyone is so different, yet so much the same and the retelling of stories from the past is just fascinating to listen to. We all choose our own path in life, but we don't all come from as unique a place as Alaska. So, for me, listening to your "stories" is fascinating. I've spent my entire adult life (except the last two) in Minnesota. I love winter. But the honesty of that statement is that I'm NOT BUILT for all that you guys have done, and still need to do, to have the life you set out to make for yourselves. After the moose in the snow melt story... I can honestly say... I would be the human version of that at some point! I admire you guys for all you've done so far and can't wait to follow along as you continue to build this life of yours! So, great video, and anytime you get the urge to do more like these... BRING IT ON! ❤❤🙏🙏

And if you're interested in a little humor - back atcha- the part of the conversation towards the end... STANDING on either side of the fire pit is funny to watch on MY phone that chooses the oddest times to turn the volume off completely!! Mr Reeve is facing away from you, hands in his pockets, and you're just talking away!! Made me think of several funny things that weren't actually happening like a couple of kids in a disagreement, or ??? But it was funny for me with no sound! 😂😂 I had to back up, turn the sound on, and watch it again. 😊 You guys are too cute & I get to reminisce about years ago & my late husband & I having fun together, working together & MOST times... finding the funny in situations... together. So, thanks for the memories.❤
