- Okay, hello, everyone.
Sorry I'm laying down. It's kinda late.
But I'm gonna do an intro for this video
because I'm moving from Utah to Texas.
I finished up my school program a while ago,
and my lease on the apartment that I'm living in
is up May 1st, so I have to be out of the house by May 1st.
So I am moving back to Texas
and that means I have a long 22-hour drive.
Thumbs up for that.
I have to pack all my stuff up,
and Dakota's moving to Texas as well
so we have to pack all of his stuff up
and haul it all the way to Texas.
So it's gonna be quite the process
of cleaning, packing, driving, all of it.
Yes, Dakota moved me to Utah
and now he's moving me back to Texas,
which I think is kind of funny.
But anyway, that's kinda what's going on.
So I'm just gonna video the whole entire process
so you guys can see.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
Just loaded up the whole back of my car.
- [Dakota] I don't know how we got all that-
- With our storage unit stuff.
We are going home and packing up a bunch of stuff
so that we can start the move process tomorrow.
Got a lot of stuff to go through,
so we'll see how late we end up staying tonight.
(upbeat music)
Okay, it is Sunday morning,
and we are starting to pack up some of my stuff.
You can see we've got a lot
of the living room pretty much pulled out and done.
And then we've pulled some of the kitchen stuff out.
We've got a lot more to go.
We've gotta go through my closet.
We've gotta go clean out the bathroom.
And then we have a group of friends coming over tonight
that's gonna help us kind of pack it all into the trailers.
All right, I want you all to know
that all of these are clothes.
This one's get rid of.
There's a whole stack outside the door that's get rid of.
But yeah, I still managed
to fill five garbage bags full of clothes.
(upbeat music)
We're currently working on taking apart the bed.
We're kind of just pulling things, setting them out here
so that we can start loading everything
in kind of an order that makes sense.
This is what the living room looks like at the moment.
And then we've got our kitchen.
Moving's a beast, guys.
Got another day of this,
and then we'll finally be done and ready to drive.
We got all my stuff in here.
Packed pretty far in.
- [Dakota] Think there's gonna be room for my stuff?
- We're gonna have to puzzle piece some stuff in here.
Anyway, we have to go get Dakota's stuff
in Vernal the next few days.
And then we officially head out
on our 24-hour drive to Texas.
(upbeat music)
It has been the longest morning of cleaning,
and we've just been, you know,
scrubbing walls and vacuuming floors and mopping floors.
Everything you could think of.
So I am just literally so exhausted.
I cannot wait to be done with this.
You can see I haven't even,
literally, I haven't showered.
My hair is literally a wreck.
My pants are starting to get little bleach spots
'cause I'm using Clorox bleach to clean some stuff.
(upbeat music)
All right, the cleaning is done.
Say goodbye to this house.
Goodbye, bathroom.
And goodbye, bedroom.
(upbeat music)
Well, we've got most
of Dakota's stuff packed up and cleaned,
and we've got a crew out here packing up this stuff.
Right here is all mine and Dakota's.
And we're fitting it in that truck.
The real question is,
are we gonna get all of this into there?
That's the real question, huh, babe.
- No, you get on-
- [Brooklyn] Everyone's saying goodbye,
taking last minute photos.
- Get on his back. - You get on me, then I'll-
(upbeat music)
- It feels so weird to see everything
so clean and empty compared
to when Kota was living in here.
Obviously there's still some stuff, but that's just
'cause the apartment came with some furniture.
Honestly, I'm more sad to leave here
than I was to leave Orem.
I don't know why. It's just kind of a little bit more sad.
This is probably where my good memories from Utah were made
which is why it's harder to leave.
Can't imagine how Kota's feeling,
considering he's leaving his childhood home and his family.
Yeah, time to get started on our drive.
All right, Kota. How are you feeling?
- I don't know, actually. It feels kind weird.
- [Brooklyn] Waving goodbye to your-
- Said goodbye to my family and my friends.
- [Brooklyn] Yeah. Your childhood home.
- Yep.
- [Brooklyn] Some tears last night.
- The only thing I don't feel good about
is this freaking truck.
I have no cruise control, the seats don't recline.
Hey, we do have aux cord, so.
- [Brooklyn] This will be a doozy for the next two days,
but I just wanna make sure you're doing good.
- You ready, Finney?
- [Brooklyn] You ready for a new chapter?
- Yep. Let's get it.
(upbeat music)
- Stop number one.
- How's the drive been?
- It's been great. I've slept.
We are about three hours in to an 18-ish hour drive.
We are stopping for the night.
We're not driving all the way through this time.
And-
- [Dakota] We are in Colorado.
- How many stops we take.
Yeah, we're in Colorado right now, so.
We're going uphill.
- [Dakota] There goes all the semis.
- And we are pit. - No, I can't go any more.
- Gas is all the way to the floor,
and we are barely crawling up this hill.
(upbeat music)
Forgot to show you guys the setup we have.
So my car's right here, like a little tow thingy,
and then we have the U-Haul
and then we have Dakota's parents.
Hi! They're driving Dakota's car over here.
This is stop number, I think, three.
I forgot to film the second one. Oops.
Stop number three, and we're just letting Finn go potty.
(upbeat music)
Okay, it's, like, 7:00.
We are stopping for the night at a hotel
because we are just dead on our feet
and still have, like, nine hours.
Yeah, we got some dinner,
we're gonna go hit the hot tub maybe,
get a good night's sleep,
and start again in the morning.
(upbeat music)
Day two of the drive, and we are starting bright and early.
It's, like, seven something,
and I think my voice is a little bit better today.
- Yeah, it sounds a lot better.
- We got a good night's sleep.
We are ready to get cruising
for the the rest of the nine hours of our trip.
- What do we have? What was it? Eight hours?
- Nine.
- Nine. - Nine hours.
(upbeat music)
We are at our first stop for the day.
I think we're gonna go get lunch
at a place called Bubba's Burgers,
and we're gonna hit the road
for the rest of the five-and-a-half hours we have left.
We kind of drove a long time this morning without stopping
which was pretty good.
But of course we have to let Finn go potty.
And of course we need...
So we're just gassing up right now.
And then I think we're gonna get lunch,
and then we're gonna head on the road
for the rest of the drive.
How are you feeling?
- Tired.
- Yeah. Anyway, I just woke up.
Literally the champion VIP MVP of the day,
freaking driving this whole thing.
I've asked him if I should drive,
but I've never driven a trailer before.
And since we have my Jeep attached,
I'm a little sketched out by it.
But been doing so great.
I have been trying to stay awake most of the time
to keep him awake, but he's the champion.
So give him lots of love in the comments below.
Show us the map, Kota.
- [Dakota] We are almost there.
- 43 minutes! - Hallelujah.
- [Brooklyn] 43 minutes out of how many hours?
- What was it? 20?
- [Brooklyn] 21?
Finn is over it.
- [Dakota] He's so clingy here now.
- [Brooklyn] Is so clingy.
He has his whole seat over here,
and he wants to sit on mine.
- He's like his mama.
- Psh. Psh. Psh. Whatever.
So of course moving in is...
Part of it is that Finnegan gets
to see my whole family again.
And there are members of my family he has not seen,
I think, since we moved.
I'm curious to see if he remembers them,
if he's excited, how it's gonna go.
But we're just gonna video it so that we have it.
- [Dakota] Oh. Oh.
(Brooklyn squealing)
- Never again. Never again!
- Who is it?
- [Rylan] He's so little.
He's so much littler than I remember.
- [Dakota] Oh, you like Rylan now.
- [Brooklyn] Oh my goodness!
The best of friends!
Look at his tail. It's coming at a million miles an hour.
Oh my goodness! Is that grandpa?
- I love you. I missed you.
- [Paisley] I think I know who spends...
- Aww. My good boy.
(upbeat music)
- We've got the cleaning crew going on.
Everybody's got their little designated spots.
Doing some cleaning before we move anything in.
Never know, you know, what somebody else's level of clean is
so try to make sure it's our level of clean
before we move anything into here.
We've got our movers doing their stuff.
We've got all, you know,
everything just kind of stacked in random places.
Hopefully we can get everything put together
and ready to go.
And my dad brought us all donuts.
Shout out to Dad for providing the snacks.
We are trying to put together the bed.
Well, my bed.
It's always a little bit of a puzzle piece here
because this bed has a thousand pieces,
and it's always a bit difficult.
Kota and I are up for the challenge.
Let's see if we can get it done.
Moving stuff. Oh, oh, oh. Oh!
We've got all this stuff moved in.
Now it's just time to put everything away,
which is the part that I have to do
for the next couple of days, so wish me luck.
We freaking made it. The U-Haul is here.
I'm not gonna show you the house
because don't be stalkers.
But we are here. We made it.
That was literally a 21-hour drive.
Never doing that again, but now it's time to move in.
So I'm gonna say see you next week.
Thank you, guys.
