I hope that folks understand that this young couple are not putting Michigan down but explaining how it didn't work for them. The cold was too much. Some people like cold, these two don't. They have an outdoor focus and want more warm weather. They don't hunt. They want to garden. So they moved south. Great choice.

You don’t owe anyone reasons for moving. Now we know why Ashley has been so happy lately! Congratulations to your family!

I don’t know how anyone could hate you guys, but there’s obviously a lot of unhappy people out there. I think you guys are great and love your family, work ethic and honesty. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. I’m glad you pursued yours! ❤

I’m thrilled for you! I don’t think I ever saw Ashley smile so much as in this video! All the best🏠

Since Ashley struggled with the grey Michigan winters, this is an excellent choice.

Ashley's demeanor has COMPLETELY changed. There is a sparkle in her eyes. Great decision. All the best. Can't wait to watch the continuing story.

My KZfaq algorithm must’ve been triggered cos all your old videos keep popping up! It’s been 2 years so I thought I’d look at this again. I really could identify with your feelings up north. I was born in the US, Utica NY to immigrant parents from the UK. I lived in both countries growing up, but my most formative years were in NJ. I never fit in cos everyone thought my family was ‘weird’-we didn’t watch football on Sundays, our family car was a 13 yrs old Volvo (it was seen as very unpatriotic not to buy an American car & kids teased me about the ‘old’ ugly car); we only had a little B&W tv cos it wasn’t a priority to us. Moved to UK at 15 & fit in, went to nursing school BUT met a man & moved to US to marry him, had children, lived & worked in Rochester NY. BACK TO NOT FITTING IN. THE SOCIAL PRESSURES ON ME, MY KIDS, TO CONFORM WAS SO INAPPROPRIATE FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. People couldn’t accept anyone who was different. I lived for my family but hated living under those circumstances. When my husband of 25 yrs left me for someone else & kids were grown I returned to visit family in the UK & met my now husband. I feel I belong here and live in a multicultural area where there’s no pressure to conform & I can just be myself. My sons hope to move here too, they feel at home here- but they also see the US as home. I hadn’t thought about this in awhile, but thought I’d share with you, as I really connected with everything you were saying about not fitting in in MI. I’m so glad you took that leap of faith & have found the place that’s right for you- & over the past 2 years I’ve seen how happy all of you are there. What a gift that is.

It took me a couple of days to get over you were leaving Michigan. I'm so happy living in my area of Michigan. I feel Michigan has so much more to offer. I will continue watching your videos and supporting your channel. You are such a nice family. yes, follow your heart. We wish you only the best!! Dave & Mary

Congrats you guys! Excited to see what you do with the new property 🙌🏼

Congratulations!!! Ashely, you look so happy!! I am so glad to see this. You guys will take whatever you have purchased and make it glorious!! Looking forward to all the new videos.

I was raised in Michigan and couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. The state was beautiful, but I had to get out and experience life. Enjoy Florida. I lived there for 4 years and loved it. You deserve to be happy. I have been enjoying your content for a while now.

Welcome to Paradise We've enjoyed living here for 6 years. Please remember this is a hurricane season so have a plan for your safety. Congrats again.

Cool, I heard you say our next house last year, lol, perfect time to sell, prices are crazy, we’ll be moving on to when my mom passes, so happy for you, better to keep stuff private on this format, good call👍😃✌️

I think it is wonderful that you are where you really want to be, you worked so hard to get there so I say ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE . God bless

I live in NE FL. I can't believe you are here. I'm happy for you guys. You don't owe us any explanation for any of your choices. I do enjoy following your adventures so I will be happy for whatever you share. So exciting. Janice

Ohhhhhh Yeah!!! A whole bunch more Reno & DIY projects!! Glad you guys made it safely & bring on the awesome projects!! Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!

I can’t believe you have haters on your Chanel,what is wrong with people ,what is there to hate ,you are just a family with a KZfaq Chanel ,doing what you want and getting on with your life , hey can’t wait to follow you on this venture 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧regards John in the Uk

Home is where the heart is and yours are in Florida. Wishing your little family a continuing healthy and happy life full of fun and DIYfferent projects!

I am SOOOO happy for you. It’s overwhelming, BUT, I can see such a wave of relief, relaxation and happiness in Ashley’s face and in her voice. I feel the same way when I’m in Florida. Upstate New York is cold and depressing for 7 months out of the year. My daughter packed up her Jeep and moved to Florida right after she graduated from college six years ago. She says she will never move back to NYS. We plan to buy a fixer upper in Florida when my husband retires in a few years. Maybe keep our house here since it’s paid off. Who knows. I love your sense of adventure and am so happy for your family 🙏🏼❤️

I'm so happy for you all. I've been watching your Florida living and can see how happy you are. Congratulations!

Yippie! We live in Florida and love it! Welcome....to the Sunshine state.

During the winter when you mentioned that you both found it depressing I thought you really should move somewhere warmer. So I am on the "Yay!" team. This will be the third house I have gotten to watch you renovate. So fun. Whoever got the Michigan house is one lucky family!

Awwww I’m sorry you didn’t feel comfortable in Michigan. Everyone is diyfferent though. I would never survive in the heat. You both look happy and that’s what’s most important.

Welcome to FL! My husband and I relocated here from Ohio 25 years ago. No regrets, best decision ever! I know you will love it.

I am extremely happy for you all! It’s wonderful that you work so hard and were able to sell your property for money that you could use to move to a new location so that you could be happy. You have to do what you have to do. No flack for me at all. We all have to make decisions that help our families and that’s what you’ve done. Looking forward to seeing how well you take to your new land, And I’m looking forward to seeing your new adventures! Take your time!

How exciting! We get to watch it all over again! I love renovations.

I cannot wait to see all the new renovation!!! Really happy you guys are in a new better place for yourselves!

I am shocked. You guys put so much work into your home in Michigan and made it a beautiful property. I hope you made a huge profit from it! Glad your trip went well, and hope you find happiness in your new home!

I’m surprised, but happy for you guys, and excited to see what you all do with the new place. I’m sure that whoever bought your place in Michigan is really happy, because what you did with it, was totally amazing , and I’m looking forward to more videos from you guys!

Never live with regrets, life is too short. I thought as a barber i would never be able to retire. But i am on Aug 2 2021 early retirement as i turn 62 on the 3rd. Just like ya'll kept your dreams on Fla and here you are. It takes a lot of discipline to set a course as you guys have. Im glad you did and now see fruition of that desire. No time for what if's.... Just do it..I was born in Fla, traveled around the world some thanks to the US govt. And have lived in northern middle Tn for most of my life. My moves are done, no more. But my adventures are just beginning as yours are. You guys are smart in how you handled the move from Mich. Good job Kids

Good for you! I am always impressed by your energy, and determination to go forward, seemingly no matter how hard it is. May God continue to bless you in your endeavors. 😊

CONGRATULATIONS on your new move!!! I wish you the BEST of everything.

I’m so very happy for you two. Life is short, live your dream. Looking forward to new adventures.

No one has the right to criticize your choices. If they don’t like how you go about your lives, they don’t have to watch. Don’t ever apologize for what is right for your family. I am excited for you. Life is too short to just settle. Have fun and keep up the good job. I love watching your channel and sometimes it is hard to not get too invested. I pray that you continue to work together and fulfill life to the best for YOU. 🤗❤️

Well done for having the courage to make a change that's right for your family.....life is a risk but with risk often comes rewards. I hope u all get the rewards of this move for the betterment of your family.

That’s fantastic. I’ve been following since the mobile home Reno that had the old school house. I fell in love with y’all then. I checked in from time to time at your new place and enjoyed all your projects and the kids growing up. I have to say I am so excited for your move to Florida!!!! Congratulations on your new place.

I'm one of the people that are "overjoyed" for you! Way to go!

I’ve watched your channel for a while now and have gleaned the fact that you all are nomadic people. I applaud you and feel nothing but excitement for upcoming videos. You family your life, live it! Look forward to upcoming content and reconstruction. ❤️❤️

Congratulations on your move. Yes,I'm shocked,but you need to do what makes you happy. Florida is a great place to be. Can't wait to see your new home. Best of luck.

Welcome to Florida! We are happy to have you! Live your best life no matter what anyone says! Looking forward to your next vlog♥️

Why would anyone be mad at you? It's your lives. Do what ever and dont forget to dance. I want to see the new house hurry!.

Congratulations! Well done on the move. 🥰🤩 Don't ever apologise for making good decisions in the interest of your Family. I wish you the best and hope it all works out 💞

I live in Massachusetts and also own a home in florida.. I go 5 times a year…. I LOVE florida !! The state is clean, people are friendly and no snow!!!! When I retire in 9 yrs it will be the move I can’t wait to do. My son lives here and he is the only person I will miss. I so happy for you guys!!!👊🏻💯❤️

I wish you happiness wherever life's road may take you. Love me some DIYfferent people 💛

Congratulations on your new home. I lived in Michigan and moved to North Carolina. The South is so much better.

No one should EVER question someone else's choice where to live..your home should feel like home TO YOU. Congratulations to you all! Adventure awaits!

Lol, we just made that journey! Congratulations 🌺 you’ll make this new home as amazing as you all are.

Kudos to you guys for reaching out! You actually did it!! We knew about your desire to move, you inspire us to act on our dreams.

I’m so happy for you guys! Have a great time off, we’ll be here waiting for you!

In Florida there is one season HOT.. I miss the changes of the season. If this makes you Happy then do it. You get one time here on earth so Live your BEST LIFE NOW !!!!! Wishing you the BEST...

So excited for you guys! Can"t hardly wait for your next phase of your lives! You both are so talented , an you have the capabilities to handle anything that comes your way! HUGS TO ALL AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW PROPERTY! By the way, I" m from Tennessee!

I am SO SO SO happy for you guys! I can't wait to follow your journey in this new location. I can't wait to see the house, cannot wait to see you guys thriving in a free state! 🤗🤗🤗

Ah ha. That is why your bus decor is tropical. Congratulations to follow your dreams.

CONGRATULATIONS ! And BEST WISHES for success in your new venture! Frankly, I cannot imagine why anyone would not like you and your channel. Both of you work so hard and all the things that you do are not the easiest. I am glad you are in a place that will be more climate friendly for you. Looking forward to following your new adventures in Fla. Good Luck !

I know Michigan is not for everyone. But when it comes to your happiness, you have to do what's best for your family. For me I like the 4 seasons, but now as I get older the colder weather is more of a challenge. Or should I say the snow. So it doesn't matter what others say you are the paying the bills not them. Congratulations on your move.

Block the haters!!!

It's none of my business at all and I only know what I've seen on the videos but I've thought many times that Ashley looked very unhappy in Michigan. It's like some turned the light back on and I'm glad to see you found a way to do what works best for YOUR goals.

Welcome to Florida. May the Lord bless you. Enjoy your new place. Tropical curtains, another hint.

Good for you all! It’s your life, you absolutely do what’s best for you. I’m happy for you and I look forward to seeing what’s to come. Congratulations on making your dreams come true! 🥳

Congratulations to you guys, we moved to north central florida 3 years ago from kansas city and love it and our farm life here. Good luck you guys will love it!

I'm happy for you and I hope you enjoy living there. And anyone who is mad at you for living your lives or wants to unsubscribe isn't worth having around anyway.

We moved to Florida 3 years ago. When I saw a palm tree, I almost cried with joy! Congratulations!

I am so excited to see the new property and what you are going to do with it. Good luck and I can’t wait to see the next video. Enjoy your break!

Good move! I'm starting to think we all should move to Florida!

Well, you did catch me by surprise! But Ashley, those were some mighty big smiles. I am happy for your family and look forward to new projects and adventures!

New home, New beginning, New renovation series :D yaaaay ♥

Put me solidly in the overjoyed column! What an adventure, congratulations

Congrats! Can’t wait to see what DIY projects you start in your new chapter of life.

Very interesting. A whole new world of critters for Belle to investigate. Life is always so much better when you enjoy where you live. Maverick should be amazed with all the new things he will see.

Big perk: no state income tax. Give yourself some time to acclimate. Work early, break in the mid-day heat and then pick it up late afternoon until dark. Heat/humidity combo is no joke.

Congratulations on your move. My husband and I are “Snowbirds “ fromPA. We love Florida. You and your. Kids will love it as well ..

You are looking so happy! That is all that counts. Privacy is your choice and we who enjoy your renos will continue to follow you. Even to Florida. On to the next video! Can't wait for the tour. Be well and remember it's your life. Keep sharing whatever works for you.. no pressure. I'm thrilled that this move is a dream come true! See you when we see you. Enjoy your life. Hugs

Life is a journey….enjoy where it takes you! ♥️

Well I'm happy for you...but I think many of us were under the impression while watching you endlessly rebuilding another house and Declaring that you finally got what you were looking for....which made us all cheer you on more....cause we were happy for you. I live in Michigan and I understand why you moved.....but wow Florida.....I was wondering after you got the house finished how long it would be till you found the next house.....the bus was ok.....but houses are what your best at....wish you guys the best always....and I sure hope things go well for you there.....

My goodness, I can't imagine people being so rude. You have.opened your lives and home, but truly your decisions are your personal views of things happening in your lives. Sending pleasant thoughts and prayers from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦❤🙏

So happy for your move! You need to do what is right for you and your family.

You guys were too conservative for Michigan...glad you'll found a sunny state great spirit lifter. 🎈🎉 congratulations🎉🎈

So happy for you! You left a very beautiful home in Michigan and I know you will have another amazing creation. Glad you are able to follow your dreams, you two are such hard workers. The best part of the video is seeing Ashley’s amazing smile! I thought you were going to have a camping video!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

I’m glad you are following your dream, be safe and have fun in Florida.

Congratulations on your move. Prayers for your new property to become everything you need and want! BLESSINGS

No need to justify why you moved. We all like different things. Congrats on your new place!

Congratulations! People can be awful, can't imagine who would hate your sweet family. Hope you have the best time in your new home!

Congratulations and Kuddos for you guys following your dreams! I’m so super excited for all the new adventures that await. Exciting!!!!

Congratulations on your new home, may it bring you much joy and adventure.

Lmao, omg, welcome to Florida! I live in gainsville fl. If y'all need to know what to do here, just ask. You want heat, you get it! Heat, muggy, and humidity. You'll need a good sun screen! I said this to y'all before. Don't worry about what people think of you. You do you. Stop justifying everything you do. Those of us who are happy for you, will always be here. Rest up, get your bearings, and (lol) enjoy the rain 🌧

we moved to Fl. 20 yrs ago from Pa. and never looked back, give your body 2 months to thin your blood and the heat will no longer be an issue, YOU WILL LOVE IT. Welcome home!!

Congrats, can't wait for the renovations you guys do such nice work!

Good for you! Enjoy YOUR life. It just means we get to see y'all do more great work. 🤣 I can't wait.

Congratulations. Welcome to Florida. I too am a Michigan transplant. I didn't like the cold and snow either. This will be like ancient history, but in 1976 we came here and never left. It will be an adjustment, mostly fun, but Doug, you're going to have to change your clothing color to a lighter one, you will cook wearing black all the time .. LOL One thing I would suggest doing now, hurricane season has started and to have a supply of food, water and necessary items, incase power goes out. Enjoy your new adventure, look forward to seeing your new life.

I was so shocked! But I stand with the 4 of you. May GOD bless your new home. Can wait for ya to start your next chapter in life...congratulations!

Such a nice young couple. You do you. This life doesn’t come with a users manual and you guys are an inspiration to all of us who have to figure out our next move and run with it. Have fun and success as you go forward.

I don’t know who could be mad at you. 💕

Lol, I have a friend who moved from Michigan to Florida for exactly the same reasons. Good for you, I really wish you guys well and hope you will all be very happy and warmer 😊❤

I had to watch the video again, I’m so excited for you. Ashley, you are glowing in this video, you look so happy. You sure did surprise me, I started my day and ended my day with your exciting news. Wishing your family only the best.

Congratulations! Enjoyed the whole renovation of your last home. Can’t wait to see what you do in the sunny south. You guys can do anything! Go for it!!!

You sure made that property really nice for the next homeowners. I hope it is someone that was watching you turn a 'factory made' home into a safe, beautiful home. Good luck on your next leg of the journey in life!

Congratulations and you all do what MAKES YOU HAPPY. AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIVES. Again congratulations on your move.

We lived in Florida after moving from Ohio from 2016 to 2018. We live near Mobile, Alabama now. We lived just North of Panama city prior till hurricane Michael flattened it. So far Alabama life has been much kinder to us. If you're going to live in Florida, my advice is to buy a 12000 kw+ dual fuel generator and lease a 1000 gallon propane tank. When hurricanes knock the power out it can be weeks to months before power is restored.

Welcome to Florida from a family of native Floridians! My favorite thing about FL is, just about anything you want to do is a day trip away. Beaches, Theme Parks, lakes, shopping, etc. Family oriented state with the best Governor in the entire US, in my opinion. If you ever need anything, you have at least one family in Northeast Florida that will help in any way we can. God Bless You!

I am thrilled for you guys!!! I kinda had a feeling you would move somewhere warmer eventually. And I think it says a lot about what kind of people you are to have put in all that hard work in the Michigan home knowing you weren't going to stay. So glad you had a safe trip! On to new adventures for you guys. Anyone that gives you hate really should reevaluate how their own life is going. Love those beautiful trees behind you.
