Nevaeh I have no idea of your age but since you drive I assume you are at least 16. May I offer you some advice from an old man (71). I left my Moms house when I was 18 and really thought I had the world in my hands I It wasnt until my early 20s that I realized how much I missed being at home with my Mom. This could be a long long story but I will just give you my advice. Stay with your parents as long as you can. Their love and guidance is more important in your early years then you will ever know. Grow up a little more and enjoy home life. You wont regret it in the long run.
All you can do young lady, is follow your heart and live your life. That being said, I lived and worked in the Washington DC Metropolitan area for 12 years and absolutely hated it. I grew up in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, and couldn't wait to leave for the city. Looking back, it was the worse decision I could have made, but it was my life and it made me who I am. My advice, don't rush in to anything. You're still young and have plenty of time to decide.
Naveah. It didn't surprise me at the end where you said you prefer to be back at home. I would to if I had what you have. I live in a city of 300 thousand and it's too big for me. I also grew up on a farm and miss it totally. Unfortunately my parents sold the farm cuz of health reasons.
You can always visit a city, a beach area, etc. but the peace of where you live now is the goal of millions of people. Cherish what you have for home and family and dip you toe in and out of the rest of the big world.
There is nothing wrong to explore and find your niche,BUT, have an escape plan! Yes, city has tons of everything to see and do, but the thing that always bothered me is that there really is no privacy, the minute you walk out your door you are in a mass of people, high taxes and lots of noise…no space and hard to find peace. You are a beautiful soul and woman who comes from a great family…never loose or forget where you come from and the values that make you, you!
That makes me so happy to hear you prefer your home over the city. The beauty of this is that you can always go visit a city, but you can always go back home where it is peaceful and safe.
City, nice place to visit, but country is home where your heart is at peace. I'm glad you get to visit cities and experience the excitement, but even more glad that you're grounded in the country. You're always beautiful and personable !
Oh Nevaeh, u are so fortunate at your age to have such a close family that enjoys each other in all ur different ages. Families nowadays are divided by divorce, kids on different schedules with sports, recitals, etc.. Such a fun, loving family, with parents who truly know how to have fun with their kids as parents, not friends, giving you all such amazing experiences, so much an Ohana supporting each other.
I think you made a good choice! I love the peacefulness of the country. Your home is beautiful and surrounded by lovely scenery. Thanks for sharing your video!!❤️🙂
I definitely think living out in the country is better than city life. City life is stressful and everybody is always on the go. I live in a small town now but my dream is to be a homesteader and have my own land. Your family inspires me. I think you are a very beautiful, kind hearted, talented young lady. You can always travel the world and still have a home base in the country. Your possibilities are endless. Always pursue your dreams. ❤
life takes you in different ways but always keep in mind your roots and your family, live your life always with respect and tolerance for all greetings from Cuernavaca Mexico
long story short. I have four daughters. My oldest three decided they like the slower life of country living although they decided not to move back to Texas with us. My youngest daughter, who just finished beautician school, has decided to stay where she knows, a city in VA. Although it’s breaks my heart I don’t get to see my daughters all the time I feel proud they were strong enough to make their own decisions, choose where they want to live and what do what they want to do. You find you. You seem to have been raised in a household that is nurturing in preparing you as an adult. You be you.
Nobody but you can answer that question. If you ask your parents, that's easy. They purchased their property imaging all their children's homes built near. Coming from a person born in a desert, but only finds inner peace around water . Follow your own path and dreams, but never lose your family. They will always be true home
Don’t be afraid to venture off into this world. We all have regrets. We all make mistakes. That's part of living. Someone said “Don’t be afraid to start over again. This time you are not starting from scratch, you are starting with experience”.
You have good parents that understand what they wanted and have worked hard to give the best for reading their family. You can always visit the busy cities but to have a place of calm refuge only some can enjoy that. Going to college can help you find a social life during your dating years. Beware that you have a strong foundation for decision making and stay close to those who know you well. And you will always have the support of strong wisdom on your side. You are a beautiful young woman who is very aware of her growing curiosity of life and the world and lives in. Wishing you the best life ever!
Yay! So glad you realize this so young. Cities are nice to visit, but not nice to live in. I am old now, and I had to do it to see for myself that this is true. I'm in the country now, small town, quiet and peaceful for almost 5 yrs now. You couldn't pay me enough money to move back to a city. I don't even like visiting anymore. :)
Much of my family lives and has lived in the Chicago area. My dad, instead, chose to raise us in rural, small town, Central Indiana. When I was younger I used to long to live in the big city, but as I grew older I began to appreciate the life Dad wanted for us. I will never regret not moving up with the majority of my family. They can have that concrete jungle!
Please, stay with your parents and keep schooling, and even in college. Stay home and learn. You can do it, and I promise you will be thankful you did. People are cruel, and especially those that have the cameras eye are used the most from others who pretend to be a friend and really they just use you and hurt you out of selfish or jealous reasons. The world has changed and not for the better. Iv been through both in the school and online. Online is better you have access to all information needed to complete assignments. Graduate school will have a need to attend live depending on your career choice. Please stay with your parents. I promise you will be much wiser for it, and your parents can provide protection and great advice you will need. You have much to offer, and still need your parents protection. I advice as a mom myself. My kids are grown so trust me when I advise it's from a mom's perspective. God bless you and protect you and all your family.
For me, city life has always been amazing...you'll have to decide what's right for you. But trying things, especially in your early life is imperative!!
Navaeh, I love watching your families adventures! I have lived in Seattle my entire life. My kids are growing up here and my family is here. While I don't regret never leaving the city, we yearn to be in a much quieter place. We travel to our property in the Methow Valley as much as we can where we can think, here the birds and not have to deal with the craziness that the city brings. This is where we find ourselves and the peace that comes with it. The city will always be there... Cherish every moment you have with your family in the country, time goes so quickly.
I have lived n worked in major cities...yuk! I have lived and live in the country... mehhhh! Ok! I prefer the outback..n pure nature n NO lights,sirens ,n ghetto whompers!! Just pure clean sky..n..nature as it is meant to be!! Clean! Quite! Peaceful! A tough life,yes,but a great life! Definitely! 👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
I am the same age as your parents, I am going to offer a little different type of advice than I have been reading. I love both the city and the country and have bounced between both due to my career. There will be times in your life when you may crave a more active pace of life. Don't dismiss one for the other because you can experience both, and even have both as I do. I have an apt in the city and a country retreat, and I love both. Vacationing in a city is completely different from living in one, there are smaller cities or larger towns. You may thrive in a college town or a small city or where your parents live. Try it all, and take a few risks. You are one of the lucky ones who will have a safe space to land with your parents.
You should have done Space Camp given your early love for being an astronaut. My oldest did it, loved it, and then went on to be an aeronautical engineer. She’s now a medical doctor and still in love with space.
Great to see this trip from your view point and not your folks! When Eli said, "Even the windows are crying" ....too funny! I am far older than you but spent about a dozen years living in the country and five years ago moved to a bigger town...but, not too big. Though I've gotten used to my new place, I still miss the quiet, the bluest of skies, the shooting stars and so much more. So thankful I had that opportunity to live like that. I like to visit a big city...but, there is no place like home.
Started watching the house build from the very being. I understood you had a music side and some vid stuff, but never really watched. This was good!!! To see the adult side snd then see your side was awesome!!! I lived 25 miles south of Seattle for 6 years. Is a beautiful city. But, I'm not a rain, concrete, busy person! Your awesome and so is everyone in your faimly. You did a great job in showing that! Thank you for sharing! And good job on your production!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
I left a big city last April. I do miss that fast life but what I plan to do is live in both locations. Do short term and see how it goes. You'll be okay with whatever you choose because God will guide you.
Maybe try staying on campus for college. A small city would maje a great start. If you don't like it, you can go home. But allow yourself to explore your choices.
I started my Souza journey over on your families channel with the tiny house build and when I heard about your channel I came over here to support you. I must say I love your channel as it gives another perspective of life on the homestead through the eyes of a teenager. Great video.
You are so much safer and so much better off living by the mountains so many weird things are happening! You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family
Nevaeh you are a beautiful young lady. Plus, so pleasant and refreshing with your upbeat attitude. Please appreciate having such great parents & family. They are very hard to find these days.❤
My daughter is a NASA Mechanical Engineer. Her love for flight came from uncountable trips to Museum of Flight in Renton. Keep your dreams of space alive. You are correct, though. Stay in the country as long as possible.
Happy Valentine's day Nevaeh! You are a smart and beautiful young lady. Your parents have instilled great values in you. Never sell yourself short, you are a gem. My daughter is 33 now and I am very proud of her and what she has done with her life so far. I have no doubt you will be the same way! My one piece of advice for every young adult is this - do the best you can today, for what you can accomplish tomorrow, is built on what you do today. Your parents have lived this example every day for the last 2 and a half years. What a great family!! Love your videos! I pray for you and your family!😁
Happy Valentine’s Day and I agree country life is so much better I lived in two different cities for a short time and I find them to be cold and never having any alone time
It is very natural to want to explore our world. With that said...my dearest one.... there's no place like home and family. You will find adventure wherever you roam....but home is what your heart will yearn for. Keep your dreams and explore....the best thing you'll ever feel and hear is... welcome home. God bless you sweetie.
What an Amazing 16 year old young lady!! (If that was your Dad's Dad, he looked about 8 years older than your Pops.) Don't worry about making major decisions so early. Enjoy you health and youth. I have full confidence of you making great decisions when the time is "right." Thank you, and your folks, for sharing a true family, and seeing the Love!
You are young; the world is yours! All I can tell is that when I was that young, I didnt realise what I wanted in life. Now I am 45. The concrete city makes me depressed and I long for a homestead just like your parents are building. I want to live between trees, flowers. I want to smell nature instead of gasoline, people smoking, food shops everywhere. I want to eat what I grow, on my land. But I already walked those miles that are in front of you. And you have to do you. You must. Just remember to build something. Plan it, work it out. I wish you all the blessings of a good life. You have all the power to make it that. Most important: enjoy. 🧚♀️❤
Even though you might imagine it to be....The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence... Cat Stevens... Quote: 🎶 "Take your time, think a lot Think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not"…🎶 This was a good video Nevaeh... very well done...👍
The best experience I had was building out my van, and exploring different areas. I did it for three years and it really helped me to grow as a person. You can always leave for a new place yet you get to experience new areas, and new people and learn how to save money while studying online. I drove home every six months to spend time with the family.
Each person in life has they`re own path to follow, the world and the city can be overwhelming, however just knowing the country part of the girl in you will always be there. Home is where ever you make it, you will make the right choices that are is best for you,
Cities are fine for visiting, with opportunities to experience new & modern things. Years ago I felt I was losing my sense of self, working crazy shifts as a paramedic in the city, luckily I was able to transfer back to my original home area in coastal/rural Australia. Watching the sun come up from a calm sea in the stillness of dawn, hearing so many different birds in the trees behind my house, giving the cows nearby a gentle pat & looking into their gorgeous big eyes, my life is so much better. I can still see shows with a 2hr car trip north to my sister in Brisbane, “Red Hot Chilli Peppers” last month, musical “SIX” tomorrow, “Cirque du Soleil” in July 2023, “Pink” in February 2024. Nevaeh, you may have to leave your home in the future to pursue your dreams, however remember you will always be able to return. Take care & cheers🥰
Girly, I am so happy to hear you say you prefer your home to the city. First, I agree with who said it's going to be dangerous in cities in the near future. Second, I actually start seeing more and more cool people choose to leave cities. It's like they start to realize the beauty of real life is smothered in the cities by artificial shiny things, the constant noise (not nature noises), people who are asleep in life, nasty people because they've been toxified by the city life.... I could go on, but you get the idea. Seriously, I know you're at the age of liking to be cool and do cool things. That's fine, but please keep that gracefulness about you while at it. That is a part of beauty and you will, believe it or not, have many admiring you a lot more. It gives an element of being centered and confident. I applaud your parents also for bringing you up to be the great young lady that you are. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🎶Thank God I'm a country girl 🎶 (by the Village Girls) Good choice Nevaeh. I think think the open country helps keep a person grounded and builds character. You're not pulled a million different directions like in the city. You're a beautiful young lady that seems to be on the right track . Seek the advice of those that have traveled the road before. Don't let the world dictate your future. Command it yourself. Wishing you the best. Stay safe.
Sweetie, we all want something we don't have. We all dream. I think a good question for you to ask yourself is "what do I want out of life". Do I want wholesomeness, peace, tranquility? Do I really want city life and relating with people from all walks of life? The good, the bad, the ugly? Today is extremely different than it was growing up in the 60s & 70s when people never locked their doors; people trusted people. Think about this wisely. Chart your thoughts on paper....a negative side and a positive side; summarize each thougth then give it a score. This will help you to SEE your collective thoughts and allow you to make a better decision. Good luck.
Nevaeh you are such a sweet beautiful young lady…..when the time is right you’ll know what to do,lov watching your videos just like your moms, great job
What are your plans for higher education in just a few short years Nevaeh? Will it be big city or a local school closer to home? Big decisions coming up sooner that you think! Thanks for sharing your family's adventure.
Awesome video Nevada ! Your good at it , just like your awesome Mother ! Glad you chose to stay at home for now , your a lucky young lady to have the family you have ! God Bless ❤❤
I grew up the first 13 years just outside of Portland Oregon. And then in rural eastern Oregon threw my last 30s. I now live about 35iles fr Atlanta ga! A huge city. However I live in the country with a garden and deer . Quiet neighborhood. Horses just up around the corner. It's the best of both worlds!. You have time
It's good to branch out from time to time and see what's out there, to learn how to be independent and be able to take care of yourself but you will always have home to come back too. Enjoy every moment because time goes so quickly. Have a blessed day, happy valentine's day 😊
Nice video of the trip guys...! Keep in mind if you never venture out and experience life, you'll never know how much you like what you have... It's always nice to experience different places but as the famous saying goes... "There is no place like home...!"
Advise from an old man - If a university is in your plans pick one that is in a major city. I was a country boy who went to the University of Washington, right in the middle of Seattle. It was the best thing for me, I was exposed to so many different types of people, cultures, ways of thinking. There were so many opportunities to experience new and enlightening things. A university education should be so much more than just learning a field of study, it's about getting a broad view of the world. Also, travel. Use every opportunity to see the world. And not just the tourist traps, and not just Europe. There is value in learning to understand people that are different from you. In the end I happily moved back to the same small town I grew up in, but I can't imagine not having those experiences of my early twenties.
You are very wise choosing your home and not the city. You are very grown up for your age. You all have a little slice of heaven on that mountain. Country life is the best. Thanks for taking us along. Take care, see ya :)
You might consider the national guard or reserve if you don't like it your only out a few months of training and a weekend a month and 2 weeks a year training of course ask someone who has done it recently, it's been about 50 years since I did it. You will do great at whatever you do.
So much noise, crime, ect in city life that I don't think I would ever want to live in a big city but some absolutely love it and thrive within the city life! If you choose to go that direction to spread your wings just be careful and experience the things that make your heart smile. Just don't forget where home is in the country!
Remember how you felt in Los Angeles California?? Stay in the country and visit the City.. It's way safer where your at.remember your parents only take you to Nice parts of City at safe times.
I love your trip to Seattle. It has changed alot in the past 5 years. I loved seeing you at the Burke Museum, Museum of flight. The VR was freaky. Happy birthday, Eli.
I believe you should always follow your heart with logic of course being applied. That being shared, for me anyhow, City Life consumes our souls and Kind Spirit's. It just does, I don't think it's healthy for Anyone, and wish everyone could at least have the opportunity to choose Country Living. Country Living keeps us "grounded", literally and metaphorically, which then allows us to Venture into the City for a 4x a year Celebration for some Special event or person, to where we can actually enjoy it, for 4 day's, MAYBE 4 day's tops - LoL 3 day's is probably more like it. lol If you trust in your heart, your upbringing, and your Super Smart head, you'll always make the right decisions in life, because you know you can learn from every experience. You'll be fine in whatever you choose, because you have what many don't, A Great Foundation, in the Family you have. You've got this Nevaeh!! 🙂
Nevaeh, There are advantages and disadvantages in living in either place. I've lived most of my life in the city but love the country as well. The ease of living in the city is that most things are close at hand. The theaters, malls, entertainment, etc are just down the block or across the city. When I in lived near downtown St. Paul I owned my own home. I planned my yard around a peaceful existence. I surrounded myself with beautiful flower gardens, a small vegetable garden and had a privacy fence. I had a quiet existence until I drove my car to work each day to the downtown area of tons of traffic, and a zillion of people scurrying around. On weekends and vacations I headed up to northern Minnesota to my parents beautiful home on a lake. The quietness, the wild animals, sound of the waves hitting the shoreline, wood stove warming the house and our Saturday night Bar B Q's were amazing. There is good and bad elements no matter where we reside. You have plenty of time to decide where it is you want to claim where you live. As you grow your inner need to be in one place will change. Maybe change several times. Just remember, no matter where you go in life, home is where your heart is.
Wow My daughter and son-in-law were there at the same time!! Wish I had known I would have told them to watch for you!! One of my favorite families, well next to mine!
I agree with you Neveah... I prefer the country. I see why your family chose the area where you live... just look at those beautiful mountains right outside your house. I live in a middle size city but it is surrounded by mountains of North Carolina. You have a beautiful name and I love how you take care of your siblings. You have some awesome parents... be safe and careful ❤️🌹👏🏔️⛰️
Visiting is fabulous but there is no place like home. I found that out long ago. I moved out of my parents home and found my own not far away. Good luck in every thing you do. God bless
Follow your heart! I grew up in the country and now have lived more than half my life in the city. I love both. But I do think of going back to the country.
Nevaeh I have no idea of your age but since you drive I assume you are at least 16. May I offer you some advice from an old man (71). I left my Moms house when I was 18 and really thought I had the world in my hands I It wasnt until my early 20s that I realized how much I missed being at home with my Mom.

Grow up a little more and enjoy home life. You wont regret it in the long run.
Very similar to the advice I just posted. I couldn't wait to get away from the country. It only took a few years to decide I needed to get back to it.
👍
@@musicluvr70 wisdom is a wonderful thing and I didnt have enough yet
I'm 80 & male, cities are good to visit. CZcams gets me enough between the trips.
I really miss my childhood home, I only lived there about 12 years.
All you can do young lady, is follow your heart and live your life. That being said, I lived and worked in the Washington DC Metropolitan area for 12 years and absolutely hated it. I grew up in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, and couldn't wait to leave for the city. Looking back, it was the worse decision I could have made, but it was my life and it made me who I am.

You are a true country girl......keep on shining....you're a real blessing from GOD.....love you and the whole family

Sweet girl, remember that no matter where you choose to go you can ALWAYS go home. Spread your wings kid.
I simply love your video style truly refreshing and creative and I wish you will not leave for city life ...
Please, stay with your parents and keep schooling, and even in college. Stay home and learn. You can do it, and I promise you will be thankful you did.
People are cruel, and especially those that have the cameras eye are used the most from others who pretend to be a friend and really they just use you and hurt you out of selfish or jealous reasons.
The world has changed and not for the better. Iv been through both in the school and online. Online is better you have access to all information needed to complete assignments.

You should have done Space Camp given your early love for being an astronaut. My oldest did it, loved it, and then went on to be an aeronautical engineer. She’s now a medical doctor and still in love with space.
Great to see this trip from your view point and not your folks! When Eli said, "Even the windows are crying" ....too funny! I am far older than you but spent about a dozen years living in the country and five years ago moved to a bigger town...but, not too big. Though I've gotten used to my new place, I still miss the quiet, the bluest of skies, the shooting stars and so much more. So thankful I had that opportunity to live like that. I like to visit a big city...but, there is no place like home.
Started watching the house build from the very being. I understood you had a music side and some vid stuff, but never really watched. This was good!!! To see the adult side snd then see your side was awesome!!! I lived 25 miles south of Seattle for 6 years. Is a beautiful city. But, I'm not a rain, concrete, busy person! Your awesome and so is everyone in your faimly. You did a great job in showing that! Thank you for sharing! And good job on your production!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
I left a big city last April. I do miss that fast life but what I plan to do is live in both locations. Do short term and see how it goes. You'll be okay with whatever you choose because God will guide you.
Happy Valentines Neveah ❤ so glad you posted. Can’t wait to see your life’s adventures as you bring us on the ride ❤️❤️❤️
Home is where the Heart is. One day your home will be with the heart that beats as one with yours. GOD BLESS
Maybe try staying on campus for college. A small city would maje a great start. If you don't like it, you can go home. But allow yourself to explore your choices.
I'm glad Y'all had a good safe trip there & home safe. Till next time. Hope Y'all have a nice Valentines Day w family.
Smart Girl! Enjoy your farm as long as you can! You've got your whole life to visit the city later! Journey On! God will guide you always!😊❤❤🙏
I started my Souza journey over on your families channel with the tiny house build and when I heard about your channel I came over here to support you. I must say I love your channel as it gives another perspective of life on the homestead through the eyes of a teenager. Great video.
You are so much safer and so much better off living by the mountains so many weird things are happening! You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family
Nevaeh you are a beautiful young lady. Plus, so pleasant and refreshing with your upbeat attitude. Please appreciate having such great parents & family. They are very hard to find these days.❤
The city is a nice place to visit, but it's no place to live, for a beautiful young lady.
Props Chad making a child's dream come true, you very well might have ensured his future and direction in life, good Man.
Go! Experience new places, new people and the world beyond. You can always go home for a visit. There’s a big beautiful world out there.
My daughter is a NASA Mechanical Engineer. Her love for flight came from uncountable trips to Museum of Flight in Renton. Keep your dreams of space alive. You are correct, though. Stay in the country as long as possible.
Great videos. Thank you for sharing a part of your life. Yes. Home is where the heart is. God bless.
Happy Valentine's day Nevaeh! You are a smart and beautiful young lady. Your parents have instilled great values in you. Never sell yourself short, you are a gem. My daughter is 33 now and I am very proud of her and what she has done with her life so far. I have no doubt you will be the same way! My one piece of advice for every young adult is this - do the best you can today, for what you can accomplish tomorrow, is built on what you do today.
Your parents have lived this example every day for the last 2 and a half years. What a great family!! Love your videos! I pray for you and your family!😁
I just found your videos. I've watched your mom and dads since they started and always enjoyed them.
Loved the video 😘👍🏻💕
I have been both places and I would choose land right out a big city as is best of both worlds
GREETINGS, WATCHING FROM THE UK AGAIN!👍🇿🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦🇬🇧
Happy Valentine’s Day and I agree country life is so much better I lived in two different cities for a short time and I find them to be cold and never having any alone time
It is very natural to want to explore our world. With that said...my dearest one.... there's no place like home and family. You will find adventure wherever you roam....but home is what your heart will yearn for. Keep your dreams and explore....the best thing you'll ever feel and hear is... welcome home. God bless you sweetie.
If I could get to live in the country I'll do it in a heart beat
Peace
Fresh air
And listening to the birds early in the morn
Awesome to add to your moms video!!!! Great seeing a real up close and personal time in your videos!!!! Great job!
What an Amazing 16 year old young lady!! (If that was your Dad's Dad, he looked about 8 years older than your Pops.) Don't worry about making major decisions so early. Enjoy you health and youth. I have full confidence of you making great decisions when the time is "right." Thank you, and your folks, for sharing a true family, and seeing the Love!
You're living the dream right where you are
You are young; the world is yours! All I can tell is that when I was that young, I didnt realise what I wanted in life. Now I am 45. The concrete city makes me depressed and I long for a homestead just like your parents are building. I want to live between trees, flowers. I want to smell nature instead of gasoline, people smoking, food shops everywhere. I want to eat what I grow, on my land. But I already walked those miles that are in front of you. And you have to do you. You must. Just remember to build something. Plan it, work it out. I wish you all the blessings of a good life. You have all the power to make it that. Most important: enjoy. 🧚♀️❤
You all have a Blessed and Amazing life. Love the videos from you and Good Simple Living.
Even though you might imagine it to be....The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence...
Cat Stevens... Quote: 🎶
"Take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not"…🎶
This was a good video Nevaeh... very well done...👍
The best experience I had was building out my van, and exploring different areas. I did it for three years and it really helped me to grow as a person. You can always leave for a new place yet you get to experience new areas, and new people and learn how to save money while studying online. I drove home every six months to spend time with the family.
You are so pretty, you look so much like your Dad. Glad you had a good time.
Nice seeing you. 😀
At some point for education, employment etc you probably will have to leave…what a wonderful loving environment you have been so privileged to live!!
Each person in life has they`re own path to follow, the world and the city can be overwhelming, however just knowing the country part of the girl in you will always be there. Home is where ever you make it, you will make the right choices that are is best for you,
Naveah, you've a beautiful family. Stay with them for as long you possibly can. You'll never regret it.
Cities are fine for visiting, with opportunities to experience new & modern things. Years ago I felt I was losing my sense of self, working crazy shifts as a paramedic in the city, luckily I was able to transfer back to my original home area in coastal/rural Australia. Watching the sun come up from a calm sea in the stillness of dawn, hearing so many different birds in the trees behind my house, giving the cows nearby a gentle pat & looking into their gorgeous big eyes, my life is so much better. I can still see shows with a 2hr car trip north to my sister in Brisbane, “Red Hot Chilli Peppers” last month, musical “SIX” tomorrow, “Cirque du Soleil” in July 2023, “Pink” in February 2024. Nevaeh, you may have to leave your home in the future to pursue your dreams, however remember you will always be able to return. Take care & cheers🥰
Girly, I am so happy to hear you say you prefer your home to the city. First, I agree with who said it's going to be dangerous in cities in the near future. Second, I actually start seeing more and more cool people choose to leave cities. It's like they start to realize the beauty of real life is smothered in the cities by artificial shiny things, the constant noise (not nature noises), people who are asleep in life, nasty people because they've been toxified by the city life.... I could go on, but you get the idea. Seriously, I know you're at the age of liking to be cool and do cool things. That's fine, but please keep that gracefulness about you while at it. That is a part of beauty and you will, believe it or not, have many admiring you a lot more. It gives an element of being centered and confident. I applaud your parents also for bringing you up to be the great young lady that you are.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You're fortunate to be in the country. As long as you have skills you will be successful.
🎶Thank God I'm a country girl 🎶

Good choice Nevaeh.
I think think the open country helps keep a person grounded and builds character. You're not pulled a million different directions like in the city.
You're a beautiful young lady that seems to be on the right track .
Seek the advice of those that have traveled the road before. Don't let the world dictate your future. Command it yourself.
Wishing you the best.
Stay safe.
Follow your dreams. Enjoy life, and most importantly remember love 💕 never let go of that! God bless 🤟🙏❤
What a great experience in Seattle! Great videography!!! God bless your whole family!!!
Sweetie, we all want something we don't have. We all dream. I think a good question for you to ask yourself is "what do I want out of life". Do I want wholesomeness, peace, tranquility? Do I really want city life and relating with people from all walks of life? The good, the bad, the ugly? Today is extremely different than it was growing up in the 60s & 70s when people never locked their doors; people trusted people. Think about this wisely. Chart your thoughts on paper....a negative side and a positive side; summarize each thougth then give it a score. This will help you to SEE your collective thoughts and allow you to make a better decision. Good luck.
You picked the right answer, you can always visit the city. You look beautiful girl!
Happy Valentines Day to you and your family Nevaeh! I've enjoyed watching your video today. God Bless You & Your Family Always! ❤
Nevaeh you are such a sweet beautiful young lady…..when the time is right you’ll know what to do,lov watching your videos just like your moms, great job
What are your plans for higher education in just a few short years Nevaeh? Will it be big city or a local school closer to home? Big decisions coming up sooner that you think! Thanks for sharing your family's adventure.
Awesome video Nevada ! Your good at it , just like your awesome Mother ! Glad you chose to stay at home for now , your a lucky young lady to have the family you have ! God Bless ❤❤
I grew up the first 13 years just outside of Portland Oregon. And then in rural eastern Oregon threw my last 30s. I now live about 35iles fr Atlanta ga! A huge city. However I live in the country with a garden and deer . Quiet neighborhood. Horses just up around the corner. It's the best of both worlds!. You have time
It's good to branch out from time to time and see what's out there, to learn how to be independent and be able to take care of yourself but you will always have home to come back too. Enjoy every moment because time goes so quickly.
Have a blessed day, happy valentine's day 😊
For me, home is where my family is. But going to other place for a little while is good. It make you appreciate HOME.🙏♥️
Nice video. Whether the city or the country, I love both. It will be interesting to see how you progress.
Nice video of the trip guys...! Keep in mind if you never venture out and experience life, you'll never know how much you like what you have... It's always nice to experience different places but as the famous saying goes... "There is no place like home...!"
There is definitely nothing like fresh country air in the morning,, glad you had a great trip with the family and happy valentine's day...
Your call because it's your life.
Home is where your ❤️ is.
Happy Valentine's day ❤️💐
Advise from an old man - If a university is in your plans pick one that is in a major city. I was a country boy who went to the University of Washington, right in the middle of Seattle. It was the best thing for me, I was exposed to so many different types of people, cultures, ways of thinking. There were so many opportunities to experience new and enlightening things. A university education should be so much more than just learning a field of study, it's about getting a broad view of the world.
Also, travel. Use every opportunity to see the world. And not just the tourist traps, and not just Europe. There is value in learning to understand people that are different from you.
In the end I happily moved back to the same small town I grew up in, but I can't imagine not having those experiences of my early twenties.
Nice video, Nevaeh. Story well told and fun to see your brother's birthday trip from your point of view. Thanks for taking us along.
You are very wise choosing your home and not the city. You are very grown up for your age. You all have a little slice of heaven on that mountain. Country life is the best. Thanks for taking us along. Take care, see ya :)
You might consider the national guard or reserve if you don't like it your only out a few months of training and a weekend a month and 2 weeks a year training of course ask someone who has done it recently, it's been about 50 years since I did it. You will do great at whatever you do.
So much noise, crime, ect in city life that I don't think I would ever want to live in a big city but some absolutely love it and thrive within the city life! If you choose to go that direction to spread your wings just be careful and experience the things that make your heart smile. Just don't forget where home is in the country!
Remember how you felt in Los Angeles California?? Stay in the country and visit the City..
It's way safer where your at.remember your parents only take you to Nice parts of City at safe times.
I love your trip to Seattle. It has changed alot in the past 5 years. I loved seeing you at the Burke Museum, Museum of flight. The VR was freaky.
Happy birthday, Eli.
I believe you should always follow your heart with logic of course being applied. That being shared, for me anyhow, City Life consumes our souls and Kind Spirit's. It just does, I don't think it's healthy for Anyone, and wish everyone could at least have the opportunity to choose Country Living. Country Living keeps us "grounded", literally and metaphorically, which then allows us to Venture into the City for a 4x a year Celebration for some Special event or person, to where we can actually enjoy it, for 4 day's, MAYBE 4 day's tops - LoL 3 day's is probably more like it. lol If you trust in your heart, your upbringing, and your Super Smart head, you'll always make the right decisions in life, because you know you can learn from every experience. You'll be fine in whatever you choose, because you have what many don't, A Great Foundation, in the Family you have. You've got this Nevaeh!! 🙂
Nevaeh, There are advantages and disadvantages in living in either place. I've lived most of my life in the city but love the country as well. The ease of living in the city is that most things are close at hand. The theaters, malls, entertainment, etc are just down the block or across the city. When I in lived near downtown St. Paul I owned my own home. I planned my yard around a peaceful existence. I surrounded myself with beautiful flower gardens, a small vegetable garden and had a privacy fence. I had a quiet existence until I drove my car to work each day to the downtown area of tons of traffic, and a zillion of people scurrying around. On weekends and vacations I headed up to northern Minnesota to my parents beautiful home on a lake. The quietness, the wild animals, sound of the waves hitting the shoreline, wood stove warming the house and our Saturday night Bar B Q's were amazing. There is good and bad elements no matter where we reside. You have plenty of time to decide where it is you want to claim where you live. As you grow your inner need to be in one place will change. Maybe change several times. Just remember, no matter where you go in life, home is where your heart is.
Wow My daughter and son-in-law were there at the same time!! Wish I had known I would have told them to watch for you!! One of my favorite families, well next to mine!
Cities are convenient. They have more options. But like you said give me peace and quiet, slow pace anyday.
Fun adventure in the city. Thanks for sharing your travels.
I agree with you Neveah... I prefer the country. I see why your family chose the area where you live... just look at those beautiful mountains right outside your house. I live in a middle size city but it is surrounded by mountains of North Carolina. You have a beautiful name and I love how you take care of your siblings. You have some awesome parents... be safe and careful ❤️🌹👏🏔️⛰️
I’m a country gal too Nevaeh!! I live in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of eastern Ky!!
Visiting is fabulous but there is no place like home. I found that out long ago. I moved out of my parents home and found my own not far away. Good luck in every thing you do. God bless
City's good and all I prefer country or mountain life, but you do you,
Follow your heart!
I grew up in the country and now have lived more than half my life in the city. I love both. But I do think of going back to the country.
That was fun! I agree, L.A. is wonderful and magical but I wouldn't want to live there. It's a quiet life for me! Thanks for sharing!
🤗😊✌
