I was thinking the same!! Congrats!!!! And Texas does take better care of their teachers than other states. Welcome to our huge family!!!! ❤️😎

I’m so proud of you, but I hope your students never forget you!!! I do wish you luck for the next school year in your new school district!!!

You are such an inspiration! You’ve grown so much over the years. Thank you for all your videos, guidance and uplifting spirit. All of us teachers, appreciate and are so happy for you!!

Congrats! I will listen/watch anything. You have been a tremendous help this past year and I can only imagine the same would be true if you share about packing/moving/purchasing a home! I love your outlook on life! So cheers to you both and your new home adventure!

Congratulations to you and Billy on your new move! It's good that you all are doing what is best for you as you go through life together. I get excited about all the news you share just by the excitement on your face and in your voice. 😁 Michelle, I have been watching your videos for a little over a year now. You have helped me so much with using Google Classroom as we were thrown in online learning last year. Continue to work with your husband as a team, and enjoy life in the simple things and the grand things.

I’m so happy for you Michelle and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you!! ❤️

I'm a 65-year-old 5th grade teacher who still loves working in CA who turned to KZread when I needed teacher tech help during Zoom teaching. You helped and inspired me, and I'm happy for you about your life change. Hope you get a new teaching job soon and wish you everything good. You were born to be a teacher.

Im so happy for you guys! Love your videos! I always wanted to teach in a school but my personal circumstances didn’t allow that. But I’ve thoroughly enjoyed private tutoring and online teaching. Safe travels!

Welcome to Texas! You’re going to love it! Congratulations on the house 🎉❤️💙

Congratulations! So many exciting changes! 😍 Don't forget self-care! Take time to simply take a few deep breaths and savor each moment. Thanks for sharing your journey.

So happy for you. Best wishes for your new adventure 💙

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you and your family. Blessings. All the best in your new home. How exciting!

Congratulations Michelle to you and Billy. So happy for you both! Much deserved. Austin is a great city too!

We're glad to have you in our great State. Yes, you can still vlog, blog and bring us great tips on using technology in educating our children.. I'm glad you had a great move.

I would love to see a vlog about the drive including all of the days into one I miss your long vlogs! Also if you don’t mind me asking will you be driving your car down there or will you be getting a new one I love watching your old videos just because of the mornings where you would unlock the car doors and it just felt really homey

Congrats! 🥳 A packing vlog would be awesome. Welcome to the Lone Star State 🇨🇱 and the TEKS! 😄

I too moved from Northern Virginia to Austin- and I teach too- you’ll love it!!!

Best wishes on your new adventure. Your videos gave me the inspiration I needed in the very new experience of teaching virtually this past school year.

Congratulations on EVERYTHING!!! I am very happy for you. I do hope you continue sharing all of your knowledge and experiences. Best of Luck to you and Billy!!

Good call on the wedding! Ours was the same, just our parents and our mentors were there, and we saved major bucks for our first house! No planning stress!! 🤟

😅 For a minute, thought you were quitting teaching! Congratulations! Nothing compares to owning your own house. Lots of responsibilities too, though. All the luck in the world in this new phase of your life.

Hearty congratulations. Wish you the best of luck. Hope you close soon and settle in.

I heard Austin's really nice so that's great for you! I'm honestly really excited for you to make this big transition.

Congratulations! So excited for you and Billy! On the other note, I absolutely loved your wedding dress! Simple, elegant and perfect!❤️

That’s quite a long move! I would love to see some vlogs related to y’all moving. Hopefully the house closing goes well!

Congrats! I’m so happy for you!! ❤️

omg I am so happy for you! I'm from Texas and I think it is so neat that you are coming down here! What a big change!

So happy for you and Billy! This is such a great reward for all the hard work you both have done! Will you be teaching in Austin? Hoping for more teaching vlogs!!!

Dress: you could save it and wear it for a special 1 year photo shoot or even renew vows at some point!

Safe travels, happy moving... it’s so worth it! XO

I'm sure you'll get lots of the same questions so I had a few different ones: what will you miss most about Maryland? What do you think the biggest adjustment will be living in a new state? It's WAY hot and humid here in texas!!

Aww sooo thrilled to hear you say "My Name is Michelle Emerson." ❤️💛🧡

Thank you for sharing! We all love your sharing your special experiences and all the help that you offer as well!

Wow!!! Such great news for everything!!! Have fun & congratulations 🎉🎈🎊

Wear your wedding dress on your first anniversary, just for you! You clearly love the dress, and you deserve to have a day where you can wear it before you sell it.

You all could just have a photo shoot and like “first look” in your original dress!! I’ve seen people do that before

Congratulations!!! So very excited for you in your new chapter of life.

I felt the same way about my wedding celebration. I just felt our elopement was so special and I was ready to move on to my next life steps so wedding was cancelled. I also didn’t wear my dress so we took photos in my original dress! Maybe you could take some on your anniversary in your original dress? Congratulations on the move!

Yessss!!!! I’m a teacher in Austin, you’re going to love it!!!!

I am so excited for you! I've been watching you for years and am so happy you are moving to my home state! I am another teacher in central Texas and always love watching your help videos. The burning questions is if your going to keep teaching and what district and city are you moving to?

Congrats Michelle. I’m so happy for you!

I completely understand, and am sympathetic to, what you are going through. After living in Florida my whole life, my husband and I packed up our whole life and two pups and moved to another state. I, too, told him we are never going to do this again. Once you are there and making the new home what you want it to be, the pain of the move will have gone and you get to start a new life. Wishing you the best!

Congratulations! That is great news to hear! I wish you and your husband the very best in moving to Austin, Texas.

Question: if you continue to teach, will you go back to weekly vlogs, if allowed? I REALLY MISS THOSE!!!

We did the same thing! We had a “small wedding” and anticipated having a big wedding ceremony/ reception down the line but… really just felt like after we were legally married, it would have been a waste. And then we got pregnant 2 months after the wedding so… we’re a little distracted now😂

I hope you, Billy and the kitties are all exceptionally happy. Congratulations!! Can’t wait to hear about jobs for both of you and to see the house.

If friends and family start to give you a hard time about not redoing the wedding, you might throw a housewarming party on your 1-year anniversary instead.

I don’t know what your husband does for work, Some thing with the government I think,but has he found a job in Austin?
