    Your campsite on Lake Superior was so pretty! I loved that! Marquette is such a stunningly beautiful place. Isn't the Mackinac Bridge cool? We love Torch Lake! We will be in Traverse City next month. Traverse City isn't my favorite, but my husband has a conference for work there. We love going to Elk Rapids and Charlevoix while we're there. Charlevoix is our family's favorite place in Michigan. I didn't even know Indiana had sand dunes. Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan is beautiful too. I'm so glad you guys had a great trip and made the most of it, even if it was rainy!

My husband (boyfriend at the time) was stationed at Cherry Point and we were still long distance at the time, so I found so much comfort watching videos filmed in the area! Fun fact, Oceanana Pier is where we were when we realized that we loved each other and so we had our wedding on the beach right next to the pier 🥺🥰❤️

    Omg this video was adorable 🤣 your videos are very comforting to watch! So even if you're like "oh, I hope my editing skills got better!" 1. They objectively did get better but 2. Even your first vlog was so sweet and genuine and enjoyable. No lie, I think the first video I saw of yours was the Binder Oaks house tour. I was nostalgic and missing my house in Binder Oaks, and your video hit the spot. I think I said it before, but after that, I just got hooked by your and Al's energy in your vlogs. Keep it up. You're freakin awesome. 💕 P.S. I'm a millennial, and wtf is a millennial pause...? I've literally never heard of it.😐

    You are the sweetest ever! Seriously, thank you for all of the support! Your comments always make me smile. I'm so happy we did that Binder Oaks house tour because it has allowed me to connect to so many other people and families who have lived our same life at Cherry Point. Such a large part of my heart is still there. hahah!! The millennial pause is something I saw on tiktok! Apparently, "millennials" wait to see that the camera is recording and then start talking and it creates an awkward pause at the start of videos?? It's so funny to me! Stay tuned for the giveaway winner announcement + good luck!

    Hi Brooke and Al! Congrats on 5 years! I have been a subscriber for almost 4 years now. I found you through your 20 Things to Know about Being a Military Wife video. My now husband was in the Marines stationed in North Carolina at the time and we did long distance for his entire 4 years in the military and got married shortly after he got out. Your videos helped me so much along the way to feel like I was not alone in what I was going through. Thank you for 5 years' worth of videos and please keep posting. You are so talented :)

Thank you for the sweet comment. <3 Stay tuned for the giveaway winner announcement + good luck!

    I don't always comment, but I do always watch. Ok, that made me sound like a total creeper, but you know what I mean. I honestly cannot even remember how I found your channel, but it has been so fun to watch over the years. From you sending care packages to Al when he was deployed, watching different makeup and clothing content you've done, seeing your wedding, seeing you guys move to different places and then get your first house...it's been a fun ride. Even though I don't know you, I've been excited for you each step of the way. I don't care about views on my videos either. I just love having a channel and meeting new people, and having the videos to look back at for memories as well. I honestly never watch shorts on YT, and I never do them either. I just love long form content. It's so much more personal to me, and that's what I enjoy. I do understand the issue of time though, for sure. Yes, definitely never do anything that isn't truly you and that you truly enjoy. I completely understand where you are coming from, and look forward to the videos you do decide to share!

    Studies show that a lot of our indoor air contains more VOC’s than most outdoor air! This is mainly because of cleaning products and all artificial fragrance (candles, air fresheners, etc). Fragrance in the United States is VERY unregulated. If you really want to use candles still, soy and beeswax candles are better!
