As a Canadian who lives in winter almost 5 months of the year, I would tell you to think really good before moving there. Winter is magical when you’re in it a few days a year but when you live in it for the whole season… it’s another story. You guys leave for long periods of time for your wonderful travels, we’ll your house can’t be left alone in winter! Frozen pipes, roof, deck, driveway to shovel…. And winter is expensive! Heating, winter tires, winter clothes… it’s a whole other ball game folks. And the cold gets to you after a while. We actually run away from it every chance we get to go on vacation in the sun 🥶 Food for thought so you can make a clear decision! Love your channel! Keep up the great work! Good luck with your house hunting! 😊
Blueberry looked so cute on the outside! Being within 30 minutes of a big city is very convenient (personal experience). The other house you showed 2+ hours out was cute, too! You will find just the right one for you! I believe when things fall through, it just paves the way for something better. Thanks for sharing the search with us! Excited about seeing more with you. Love and prayers from SC, Jane
There's nothing better than looking at land and houses because you want to, not because you have to. It becomes about the journey itself and learning your likes and dislikes. Happy Hunting! ❤️
I selfishly want you to travel internationally again. I miss your food tours. However, I hope you find what you’re looking for and enjoy the journey. Much love to you both.
If you guys end up spending a lot of time in the area my wife and I would love to take you out to dinner as a way to say thanks for all of the enjoyment we have gotten from watching your travel videos. You guys and the Adventures of A+K are my two favorite travel channels and we wish you the absolute best for your future!
Colorado native here. I’ve lived in the mountains for years. Location is key! Keep in mind your driveway, sun exposure, commute, neighbors, grocery store, etc. so often people want to live in the mountains and don’t realize the time and work it takes to live there.Evergreen (lived there for years) doesn’t count as true mountain living. VERY expensive
6:47 "A little blueberry home with red accents was not necessarily what we had in mind." Damn, we have very different ideas about what we want in a cabin! Finally some exterior paint that isn't boring! Just my opinion lol
When you do find the house you're really happy with. It would be well worth the money to have it professionally inspected, the drainfield, well, and complete structure. Don't forget to check on property taxes cost also.
Boulder Colorado, Mork and Mindy! If it's a cash deal only the sellers wants it's because he knows a purchaser will not be able to get a mortgage on it. That should set alarm bells ringing and warrant a full survey to be carried out by a professional Surveyor.
I’m pretty darn proud of you two! Embracing a new season of life is often exciting, nerve wracking, surprising, and exhausting. But, so rewarding! You deserve to enjoy this next chapter. Thank you for taking us with you. I hope that the right home comes to you soon. ❤
I would highly recommend taking the trip way south to the Durango/Silverton/telluride/Ouray area and looking for places down there. Prices are a little cheaper, there’s major flights in and out of la plata regional airport, and the recreational opportunities are second to none. Of course I am biased because I lived there for six years lol.
Como, Fairplay, Jefferson gets MAJOR wind and snow. If you've never traveled in winter weather, be warned before exploring those areas in middle of winter. Just something to consider for folks looking to book vacations here in Colorado. :)
On a cross country trip, my wife and I fell in love with Durango CO- we arrived on a bluebird Rocky Mountain day, put the top down in our car and drove into town to the historic narrow gauge railroad where there was a concert with several cowboy bands. You should check out SW Colorado for sure.
The idea of living in the mountains is so invigorating. But, from someone who's lived in the colorado mountains for several years, you really need to do research and be prepared to be self-sufficient. Plumbers, electricians, chimney sweeps, and Septic companies are all extremely hard to come by. Be prepared! Also, many mountain counties recently voted to not allow short-term rentals in their areas. So know the local regulations before buying!! Things are getting more restrictive because so many people want to buy and then rent out, and communities want long-term residents, not vacationers, because of the increased risk for wild fires caused by "out of towners".
Thanks for the views of Colorado. When I was going to grad school at CU Boulder, I had some of my jewelry that I made in a gallery on Pearl Street. One day the salesgirl called me and said, “you are not going to believe who just bought one if your necklaces. Joan Jett!” A memorable highlight of my career.
It's been such a joy to watch you guys since lockdown till now (haven't missed an ep!) And its fun seeing your love of travel also extend to your love of home furnishings and ornaments (things you didnt have the opportunity to explore until you started renovating clementine!) It'll be great to see that creativity with wood play out in your new home! I'm sure it'll be a place you'll both lovingly create together the way you did with 🍊!!
After living in Colorado for several years, I've come to believe that many of these small mountain towns are... Not great. The ones that are better of course come with a pretty price tag. You have to consider internet access and things too. Mountain homes are much more work than people realize, and that's probably why lots of these remain on the market for so long.
This couple makes me smile. I love their many videos and laughing all the time. Great to have you share your journey with us!! Best of luck on all your adventures to come. 😊
I am beyond excited. I live in Colorado and I would love to meet you in person. I have been following your adventures for quite awhile. I appreciate that you show us not only the ups, but the downs as well. Happy house hunting. Safe travels. Love and Hugs 🤗💞
I'm excited you're house hunting! I'm not sure how much plane travel you plan on doing after you buy a house, but if it is going to continue at a similar pace, you might put extra consideration on the route to the Denver airport as part of your house location factors. I just know it can be very hard for my relatives who live in the Denver suburbs to get to the airport, and the more you go into the mountains, the greater the risk of snow, wildfires, smoke, or traffic blocking your ability to get to there within a predictable time, or at all.
I think it's a good idea to spend some time in an area to see what's on offer with properties, and get a feel for the local area with towns etc. I liked the blue and red place, but it is a good idea to look around more. We've all been in the same situations (it's all part of life) but I'm sending you both another big metaphorical hug (I'm about the same size as Adam so it's a big hug).
Thanks, Mark. We're excited to think about new opportunities and the future a bit more than we have been. We still have a lot of things to go through and process personally, but it's nice to be out planning for happier times 🙌
The minute you step through the door of the house that is the one meant for you, you will know it, and if all the other considerations are to your liking you go for it just dont settle because its the best that you have seen, with work you can make any house a beautiful home and I cant wait to see the next part of your adventures be it home renovations or travel. just have fun !
Wow! Amazing beautiful scenery in Colorado! Whatever you end up doing, the views around are so spectacular! This next project is just as exciting as doing up Clementine! Great having a ‘stay’ between travels too! Just love your episodes, especially from here in Aussieland! So impressive!
My wife and I lived in the Boulder area in the late 1990s and had an absolutely awesome time. That region is truly a dreamscape. I love your content and wish you all the luck in the world!
Put whippers at 12 o'clock and put cardboard under whipper to keep snow/ice off of windshield. If you have mechanical fan put cardboard over radiator to speed up warming.
Great episode. If I was your age I'd be doing exactly the same thing. I attended a wedding in Vail some years ago and used the trip to explore the adjacent mountains and towns. Fabulous. Telluride looked like a film set. A van-lifer called Regretlyss has bought a country property in one of the areas you're considering. Might be worth having a look at her recent videos. If you intend to keep Clementine make sure there's room around the cabin to build a shelter for her (and Chuck and Ruby, and uncle Tom Cobley, & the Beans' bus, etc, etc). In fact an aircraft hanger with a cabin on the side would be just perfect. Blueberry's colours looked fine to me!
So excited to see you looking in our neck of the woods. The right property will come to you we looked in all the same spots and found our little home on top of a mountain. While many might be negative about the cost of living in CO it really is the best place to put your roots down and especially in the spots you are looking. Would love to meet up with you when you finally make your move we are in Bailey ;) cheers and happy looking
I've always wanted to visit Denver! Gotta love them mountain views! I definitely see why you would want to plant roots there! I've been watching your channel since you purchased Clementine. Now I'm discovering and enjoying your older videos! There's a plethera of entertainment there! :)
I’m so jealous! I have fond memories of the mountains and Pearl St! I used to get all the best stuff shopping there. Plus the environment was amazing! I hope you are able to find something!!!
I started watching you about 3 years ago? Back when you did a joint video with Kara and Nate and another couple (who aren't together anymore). It is so awesome to see you doing so well with the channel and making plans for your future. Congratulations! I'm sure there were unknowns and ups/downs. Congratulations for taking it this far!
My aunt has lived in Fairplay for 35 years. It’s such a cute town. And so beautiful. I love to visit any time of year! We’re all originally from Missouri too.
I'm glad to see you moving forward so positively after your loss. I wish nothing but the best for you both. I've enjoyed following you since I saw you with Travel Beans. Looking forward to what you find in Colorado. My oldest son was born in Denver and now my youngest lives in Aurora. I love Boulder!
So very sorry for your loss and the sadness grief brings, they say this is the price of love but i understand the heart break 💔 Exciting times ahead! Beautiful areas your looking at too. Lots of love to you both from the UK 😘
Thank you Lesley. 🥰 It's been really nice planning for the future - especially fun things. It's still a wild rollercoaster, but we're taking each day as it comes.
I lived in a metal mobile home and the trim was painted brown which fooled this Woodpecker, who just wouldn't stop pecking!! Kinda funny in a way. Mike
Love the fact that you visited Evergreen!! That is the town that I grew up in!! Loved growing up there and have a lot of wonderful memories. It is a great place!!
In the UK at least, I would be a little concerned at a seller only looking for a cash deal. Involving a loan from a third party will force a reasonable level of due diligence before purchase which could throw up some interesting problems you might prefer to avoid.
My family and I live in Bailey CO and we absolutely love it. We live at 8,800 feet in elevation and we rarely get snowed in. Maybe a handful of times since we have been here, since 2018. Everyone know mountain living in the summer is great but winter time is just as enjoyable. Good luck on house hunting!!
I live in Castle Rock area. The snow storms are manageable. The further up in the mountains then of the supplies you will need! Like a snow plow, or atv plow or even a tractor. Goodluck on your search.
"We've never looked at a house in person." Sometimes I go to house inspections just for fun! Haha. And research purposes. When I house hunted myself, it took two years of going almost every weekend until we found something.
My brother & his wife just moved there this past summer from CT to golden. They really love it there, so much to do, easy to get to a lot of things to do.
Be sure to consider property management - e.g. snow removal or mowing or road/gravel build/maintenance or shop/parking for Clementine or other depending on what you buy :)
I live in that mountain community that you started your house hunt in. And you are right when you said it has everything you need and it's a huge bonus being close to town (Boulder and Denver is close), yet far enough for peace. Enjoy your search... there is a lot of great little communities in the mountains. I too am an expert real estate viewer from a computer screen 🤣... so if you have any questions on different areas, I'm sure I've studied them extensively.
I am in Golden. You should check out La Veta Colorado SW of COS. You will get more land and more Sqft per dollar. It is a hidden gem IMHO. They also have a small ski valley that they are sinking a ton of money into up there. Property values will continue to rise.
SW CO seems to be a theme here...we've just been to the Boulder/Denver area a few times so we started our search here. But now we're really excited to head south and check it out! Thanks for the recommendation 🙌
We have family in the Woodland Park area just outside of Colorado Springs. We love it there. The deer just walk through all the neighborhoods and sleep in people's yards. It also has views of Pike's Peak. I think it's about a 15-20 minute ride into Colorado Springs. Not sure what the property prices are there but it's one of the nicest little towns we've been to in Colorado. Might be worth checking out if you are still looking.
My husband and I moved to Georgetown, 18 miles west of Idaho Springs, 26 minutes west of Evergreen 2 1/2 years ago. We LOVE it here! You can't go wrong guys. Just far enough from the city, but far enough. Mountain living is amazing! Excited for you both!
It took me 2 years with also taking a break from in that time I looked at 16 houses. All of them were foreclosure took the last house less amount of work and I got to move in and fix it as I go. Not bad at all and was in my budget. It’s my first and last home. It’s so peaceful I live 10 miles south of Bloomington Indiana
Conifer is gorgeous. There’s the cutest little yarn shop out there that I hit up every year. 😂 From CO Springs and I can tell you it really is wonderful! CO welcomes you with snowy love. ❤
I’m so happy for you guys!!! Imagine all of the beautiful places you will bring clementine with a home base of Colorado!!!! Very excited for this journey!!!
Growing up in Michigan I’ve been using a Spatula since I was 16 ff to 67, don’t need one too often where I live now! Good house hunting here’s to best of luck 🤞
I live in Canon City, and it's a pretty cute town. We are in the banana belt, we don't get as much snow. I would recommend checking out the little towns of Buena Vista and Salida. Thank you for being such a positive watch!
Won't you have a need for a garage with all your vehicles and RVs? I always shy from the exposed wood that looks raw; how much yearly maintenance does it need? What is the insulation situation? Never let paint or carpets affect your decision; they are cheap and easy to change. Have you gotten a prepared checklist to go over on each house, some are online; makes sure you don't miss anything and helps when referencing back later. (probably all too late for you to use)
So exciting seeing how all of your adventures develop along this journey and wish you all the very best in finding your future dream home wherever that may be! Also pretty relieved Eric didn't try drinking the frozen lake lol !
Hi guys! I discovered your channel about a week ago and have already binge watched all of your 50 state videos. I’m completely caught up now. Your vibe is so infectious and I love your positive attitude. Keep going & I can’t wait to see what’s to come ❤️
My grandparents lived north in Estes Park, perfect view of the twin sisters from their house. They just moved back down tho. My uncle lives in Denver and my aunt in Longmont. Love the areas through there.
We really loved the area around Glenwood Springs, great views of mountains and rivers. I don't know what the property prices are like, but the town is cute and it has both direct rail and greyhound to Denver which could be a plus.
I've lived in Nederland for 20 years and know all the places you visited. Great disc golf course right near the first tiny one. The cute blue one I have friends that lived in that 'town' for a decade all the way up there. Evergreen is busy but great. Hopefully I see you around! Good luck hunting 👍
Oh my gosh, you're going to be in our neck of the woods: Westcliffe, Colorado! We're traveling around for the winter while we wait to start building our own house in the Spring but nothing comes close to the beauty of Colorado. Good luck on your house hunting!
Hi Eric and Allison don't be fooled by the fancy new icon (I took that pic!) 💖 and new channel name, ⭐ it's still me (Jennifer) making amateur videos, and enjoying the quality of yours! 😆

you both keep making great videos week after week I can watch your videos from 6 years onward and not be bored

I really miss clementine I miss the 50 state road trip that road trip blogs were awesome but can’t wait for the house renovations

Damn, we have very different ideas about what we want in a cabin! Finally some exterior paint that isn't boring! Just my opinion lol
When you do find the house you're really happy with. It would be well worth the money to have it professionally inspected, the drainfield, well, and complete structure. Don't forget to check on property taxes cost also.
Boulder Colorado, Mork and Mindy! If it's a cash deal only the sellers wants it's because he knows a purchaser will not be able to get a mortgage on it. That should set alarm bells ringing and warrant a full survey to be carried out by a professional Surveyor.
We lived on top of a mountain for three years and it has it’s ups and downs, but loved every minute of it! Good luck.
I’m pretty darn proud of you two! Embracing a new season of life is often exciting, nerve wracking, surprising, and exhausting. But, so rewarding! You deserve to enjoy this next chapter. Thank you for taking us with you. I hope that the right home comes to you soon. ❤
Scammer^
I would highly recommend taking the trip way south to the Durango/Silverton/telluride/Ouray area and looking for places down there. Prices are a little cheaper, there’s major flights in and out of la plata regional airport, and the recreational opportunities are second to none. Of course I am biased because I lived there for six years lol.
We're actually hoping to head out that way next - we've heard great things about all those areas! Excited to see what all the hype's about 🙌
Como, Fairplay, Jefferson gets MAJOR wind and snow. If you've never traveled in winter weather, be warned before exploring those areas in middle of winter. Just something to consider for folks looking to book vacations here in Colorado. :)
Ah, my cousin lives in Evergreen. And another cousin lives in Golden. Keep in mind, forest fires when out in "the woods"
On a cross country trip, my wife and I fell in love with Durango CO- we arrived on a bluebird Rocky Mountain day, put the top down in our car and drove into town to the historic narrow gauge railroad where there was a concert with several cowboy bands. You should check out SW Colorado for sure.
That sounds amazing! We're hoping to head that way next 😍
The idea of living in the mountains is so invigorating. But, from someone who's lived in the colorado mountains for several years, you really need to do research and be prepared to be self-sufficient. Plumbers, electricians, chimney sweeps, and Septic companies are all extremely hard to come by. Be prepared! Also, many mountain counties recently voted to not allow short-term rentals in their areas. So know the local regulations before buying!! Things are getting more restrictive because so many people want to buy and then rent out, and communities want long-term residents, not vacationers, because of the increased risk for wild fires caused by "out of towners".

So, so far your looking at places without garages? I would think you'de want a garage for rv, projects , etc..
😄 love the moon walk!!! You two are so great together. Wishing you much happiness in your adventure.
After living in Colorado for several years, I've come to believe that many of these small mountain towns are... Not great. The ones that are better of course come with a pretty price tag. You have to consider internet access and things too. Mountain homes are much more work than people realize, and that's probably why lots of these remain on the market for so long.
Sending love. Glad you have each other to lean on during your grief and continue your journey together.
The mountains are calling! How beautiful those areas are. I wish you both all the best of luck in finding your dream cabin! ❤

Definitely happy times! Good luck on your home search. Thanks for sharing the beautiful areas
Good luck you guys! I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for
0:56 any of those cute houses in a beautiful setting would be perfect
I think it's a good idea to spend some time in an area to see what's on offer with properties, and get a feel for the local area with towns etc. I liked the blue and red place, but it is a good idea to look around more.

I luv watching y’all!! Lots of prayers and love with you all !! 🙏🙏🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️💙💙
I live near Evergreen, one of my favorite places to go visit. Beautiful serene surroundings, and such a nice people.

Hey guys. Hope all is well. Stay safe out there.
So very sorry for your loss and the sadness grief brings, they say this is the price of love but i understand the heart break 💔 Exciting times ahead! Beautiful areas your looking at too. Lots of love to you both from the UK 😘
Thank you Lesley. 🥰 It's been really nice planning for the future - especially fun things. It's still a wild rollercoaster, but we're taking each day as it comes.
I lived in a metal mobile home and the trim was painted brown which fooled this Woodpecker, who just wouldn't stop pecking!! Kinda funny in a way. Mike
I hope you can buy a lamb and make your own kind of music. Lighting and full sun in the morning is so awakening.
Love the fact that you visited Evergreen!! That is the town that I grew up in!! Loved growing up there and have a lot of wonderful memories. It is a great place!!
That's a shame cause that first one you couldn't see looked really nice. Usually things happen for a reason and you'll find the perfect one for you!
In the UK at least, I would be a little concerned at a seller only looking for a cash deal. Involving a loan from a third party will force a reasonable level of due diligence before purchase which could throw up some interesting problems you might prefer to avoid.
it's definitely a red flag

Bummer Eric!
"We've never looked at a house in person." Sometimes I go to house inspections just for fun! Haha. And research purposes. When I house hunted myself, it took two years of going almost every weekend until we found something.
I’m so excited for you!!! Buying a house will make your heart full ❤
The way you were excited about Maine I could be sworn you guys were going to buy there.....but Colorado looks good!
My brother & his wife just moved there this past summer from CT to golden. They really love it there, so much to do, easy to get to a lot of things to do.
Love love love CO! Best of luck to you with finding a new place to call home!
Be sure to consider property management - e.g. snow removal or mowing or road/gravel build/maintenance or shop/parking for Clementine or other depending on what you buy :)
That's all I see when I see long driveways and uneven terrain!!
I live in that mountain community that you started your house hunt in. And you are right when you said it has everything you need and it's a huge bonus being close to town (Boulder and Denver is close), yet far enough for peace.

you should see how excited us Australians get!
We have family in the Woodland Park area just outside of Colorado Springs. We love it there. The deer just walk through all the neighborhoods and sleep in people's yards. It also has views of Pike's Peak. I think it's about a 15-20 minute ride into Colorado Springs. Not sure what the property prices are there but it's one of the nicest little towns we've been to in Colorado. Might be worth checking out if you are still looking.
My husband and I moved to Georgetown, 18 miles west of Idaho Springs, 26 minutes west of Evergreen 2 1/2 years ago. We LOVE it here! You can't go wrong guys. Just far enough from the city, but far enough. Mountain living is amazing! Excited for you both!
Oh great to know! We already huge fans of the views and endless outdoor activities. Excited to learn and experience a bit more out here :)
@@TheendlessadventureI am excited for you. You will love it here! You will have "Endless Adventures" here in the Rocky Mountains!!!
I love ever green lake so fun in the summer! They have rentals for paddle boating, canoes , and other fun rentals.
Yay! I’m so happy for you two.
It took me 2 years with also taking a break from in that time I looked at 16 houses. All of them were foreclosure took the last house less amount of work and I got to move in and fix it as I go. Not bad at all and was in my budget. It’s my first and last home. It’s so peaceful I live 10 miles south of Bloomington Indiana
Conifer is gorgeous. There’s the cutest little yarn shop out there that I hit up every year. 😂 From CO Springs and I can tell you it really is wonderful! CO welcomes you with snowy love. ❤
Minnesota native here. I'm so stressed looking at your shoes in the snow. You need a 'winter things' shopping list!
I’m so happy for you guys!!! Imagine all of the beautiful places you will bring clementine with a home base of Colorado!!!! Very excited for this journey!!!
Growing up in Michigan I’ve been using a Spatula since I was 16 ff to 67, don’t need one too often where I live now! Good house hunting here’s to best of luck 🤞
I live in Canon City, and it's a pretty cute town. We are in the banana belt, we don't get as much snow. I would recommend checking out the little towns of Buena Vista and Salida. Thank you for being such a positive watch!
Welcome to Colorado. I moved here from Wisconsin 35 years ago and never left. Best of luck with your search. Check out Nederland too.
Loved this video! Looks like an amazing area to set up home in. Hopefully you get one with space for Clementine to shelter from the snow too x
Won't you have a need for a garage with all your vehicles and RVs? I always shy from the exposed wood that looks raw; how much yearly maintenance does it need? What is the insulation situation? Never let paint or carpets affect your decision; they are cheap and easy to change. Have you gotten a prepared checklist to go over on each house, some are online; makes sure you don't miss anything and helps when referencing back later. (probably all too late for you to use)
With all that snow, its imperative that they build a garage!
So exciting seeing how all of your adventures develop along this journey and wish you all the very best in finding your future dream home wherever that may be! Also pretty relieved Eric didn't try drinking the frozen lake lol !
Hi guys! I discovered your channel about a week ago and have already binge watched all of your 50 state videos. I’m completely caught up now. Your vibe is so infectious and I love your positive attitude. Keep going & I can’t wait to see what’s to come ❤️
Oh my! That's so much of us goobers in such a short time 🙈🤣 But seriously, so happy to have you along for the adventure!
@@Theendlessadventure sending love from Scotland! 🏴🥰
Did you watch all the trailer rennos. Fantastic worth binge watching them also
@@jmbroom33 that’s next on my list 🙌🏼😎 thanks!
Great video! I enjoy watching you two travel! Keep up the great videos!
I've stayed in Idaho Springs a few times while on ski trips and just loved the area.
If you have the time I would suggest the Durango / Silverton area. It’s on the touristy side but in the colder seasons probably not as much. Alan
I am from Michigan - I married a girl from Ouray Colorado - Been married 44 years - Colorado is very cool. Gary 😎
Yay!!! Lived up north in Longmont years ago. 🎉
wish you well with your new endevours. Sorry to hear about family sickness and death. take care of each other
I spent last summer in the little town of Ward outside the Boulder last year. Loved it.
Good luck finding your own home 💞. It is beautiful in Colorado and my daughter lives there.
My grandparents lived north in Estes Park, perfect view of the twin sisters from their house. They just moved back down tho. My uncle lives in Denver and my aunt in Longmont. Love the areas through there.
We just moved from Tampa FL to Conifer CO and we love it! 25 minutes to Denver 10 minutes to Evergreen.
We really loved the area around Glenwood Springs, great views of mountains and rivers. I don't know what the property prices are like, but the town is cute and it has both direct rail and greyhound to Denver which could be a plus.
I've lived in Nederland for 20 years and know all the places you visited. Great disc golf course right near the first tiny one.
The cute blue one I have friends that lived in that 'town' for a decade all the way up there. Evergreen is busy but great.
Hopefully I see you around!
Good luck hunting 👍
Welcome to Colorado! It's hard to beat 🙂
Y'all, just use a broom to sweep your truck of snow. It is faster and less messy
Thanks for the update. A home base in Colorado would be nice. But don't stop traveling.!
I want this so bad for you two. Renovation is where it's at. This will be a fun series.
Oh my gosh, you're going to be in our neck of the woods: Westcliffe, Colorado! We're traveling around for the winter while we wait to start building our own house in the Spring but nothing comes close to the beauty of Colorado. Good luck on your house hunting!
Hi Eric and Allison don't be fooled by the fancy new icon (I took that pic!) 💖 and new channel name, ⭐ it's still me (Jennifer) making amateur videos, and enjoying the quality of yours! 😆
