We moved... again | Natalie Nicole

Say hi, guys! Welcome back to my mom's channel. Hi guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube channel. I am in a new location. I'm at the house right now. Basically, a lot has happened since my last video, and I've kind of taken a mental break off social media a little bit, especially YouTube, because I feel like there was kind of this negativity going around and people saying stuff to me that I like didn't really appreciate. And I really just needed a break. I didn't want to show anyone what was going on because I was dealing with a lot at the time. Still am dealing with a lot. But I'm gonna give you guys the rundown because I've been having my YouTube channel since I think 2017, and I've showed so much regarding my life and I've shown you guys everything from me becoming pregnant, me moving to South Florida, me now, me getting my real estate license. I've filmed a lot and I feel like this shouldn't be something I shouldn't vlog because I'm gonna look back and be like, wow, that was the right decision, or wow, that's where my headspace was at at the time. Yeah, I wanna talk to you guys about what's going on. Plan. And wow, my camera is dying. Of course it is. Kind of where I am right now and what my channel is going to look like from now on. I am limited on time because Arabella just went down for her nap like an hour ago, um, and then we're gonna go to a splash pad after this, which I'll probably film if I have time to charge my camera. But basically, we're in South Florida right now. We moved up here permanently. Um, I know I showed you guys a lot about the house and our plan and basically what our life was going to look like in a couple months and all the additions we've made to the house so far. Those videos are not going to stop by any means. I'm still going to show you guys everything. Um, but I did not film the move-in process because we literally decided on Sunday, the Sunday before Halloween that we were going to move up here, um, and break my lease down in South Florida. It was really, really on-the-spot decision. I moved out that Tuesday, so I decided on Sunday, moved out on a Tuesday. Um, and the reason was that— the reason for that was Halloween is the 31st, I think, and I wanted to move out so it wouldn't roll into November. Um, what we'd have to pay. And I, I like needed to get out of that space for my mental health and for Arabella, and it was just the right decision at the time. Still is. Um, so we packed every single thing up on Halloween, my whole entire apartment. I had nothing packed. I didn't even get boxes. We literally stuffed everything in suitcases and we bagged up all of our clothes and just— we literally moved. We rented a U-Haul truck and we moved, just me, Sam, and Arabella. So that was Tuesday night on Halloween. Arabella did not go trick-or-treating. Luckily, we went to Disney for trick-or-treating in— was it September? I think we went to Mickey's Not So Scary, um, Halloween party, I think, or maybe it was October. Um, but she did go trick-or-treating then, so I really did not care that she wasn't going around to a neighborhood and trick-or-treating. I mean, the next day she literally wore a costume all day, so— and she's so young too that she does not remember. I know she's not gonna remember it, so I was okay with her skipping out on Halloween. So basically I quit working for my mom and my sister and I needed to be up here. I felt like it was the right decision to be up here with Sam and to be like a family. Um, obviously being a single mom and not having Sam around living with us was extremely hard, especially as Arabella grows up. It's really, really hard to parent alone, and Arabella is getting to the stage where she'll test me on literally anything. If I say no, she does it anyways just to see what she can get. And get away with. So I was getting to a point where I was like, I'm done doing this alone, I don't want to do it alone. I wasn't happy down there. I felt like a huge part of us was missing, and I feel like up here that piece was Sam and living together. So I'm really, really happy we moved up here. Regarding my real estate license, I am now transitioning my real estate license from down there in East Boca to up here in Daytona Beach or Port Orange. I haven't made my decision on what brokerage I'm going to go with. I loved Keller Williams. I loved everything they stand for, and I wish I could have stayed, but I, I can't stay with them because my— I'm going to be selling houses up here and my MLS is down there and my brokerage is down there, so it really wouldn't make sense. I couldn't do, you know, both. I'd have to pay for the one up here, so I'm just gonna move everything up here. I'm really, really rambling, but I want to get everything into this short video before my camera dies. What else? Yeah, we moved everything here. Um, Arabella's room is basically done. I just have to paint her room. We're gonna do like a light pink with wallpaper. Um, so that we still have to do. We're gonna do all of our family— we took a lot of family photos a couple weekends ago, and we're gonna switch out a lot of the photos in our house. Um, the guest room is done. I'm going to show you guys basically a whole entire video on what we've done since my last update. Yeah, life has really, really crazy lately. I have been just go, go, go, and today was like the first day I had to like figure out insurance for me and Arabella, and I had to figure out my Keller Williams stuff, and I was just watching Kardashians and I was like, wait, I haven't filmed in a really long time. I should probably pick up my camera and explain basically what's going on. And it feels really, really good to be living with Sam again and being a family, and we go to church every Sunday and It's so nice that Arabella gets to bond with him every day and play with him, and she gets so excited. And it's just like a huge weight off my shoulders of just feeling like I'm alone and trying to parent Arabella alone when that's just not the case anymore. So I'm really, really happy. Our new vlog schedule— I don't even know, I need to come up with a new vlog schedule. I've applied for some jobs up here. Um, and I don't know what— which one I'm gonna get, or like what my schedule is gonna be like. Um, so I don't know with the vlogs how consistent they're gonna be. We were very consistent for a moment. I was really, really proud of myself, but I don't know. I don't know really what's gonna happen. Um, Arabella might be going into preschool or a school, like an academy. So I'll fill you guys in if that does happen. Um, but I still want to show you guys obviously our day-to-day lives and keep you guys updated as much as possible. So thank you guys for bearing with me. Thank you guys for subscribing to me and Arabella's channel, now Sam's channel. Um, and I'm so excited to show you guys more of my life and her life and watching her grow up. And yeah, I don't know what else to say. I think that's really all the updates. I'm gonna end it here, but thank you guys so much for following and listening to me and coming along this crazy journey with me. But yeah, I will see you guys in my next video. Bye guys!
