From the Outer Banks to Virginia

Give it up for just one more day...
After many wonderful (though admittedly tumultuous) years living on the Outer Banks, it's time to announce I’ve officially moved to Virginia.
Anyone who knows me knows I've loved the Outer Banks, and wanted nothing more than to call it home, since I was about 5/6 years old... AKA my first visit to the area when I was a kid. So when I told people I was considering moving, there were a lot of confused and shocked responses. Obviously, all of my close friends and family are now on board but for anyone following this blog/my channel - you might be a big surprised given my namesake.
It’s definitely bittersweet—I still carry a deep love for the OBX and there are so many parts I miss. In fact, I feel like I never really got a true chance to experience being "home" there due to a variety of factors I'm not going to go into at this time (maybe a future video?!).
But this change feels like the right step for me, a fresh start filled with new opportunities and experiences. Sometimes, moving on doesn’t mean leaving something behind; it means making space for something new to grow.
On top of settling into Virginia, I’m also in the exciting process of building a new house. It’s a journey full of decisions, challenges, and creative possibilities, and I can’t wait to share them all here. Expect plenty of “new home” content and house DIY project content over the next few years... let's put it that way lol.
While my home is in the process of being built, I am temporarily crashing at my parents. That's right... Tucker, Leo, and I have moved back into my childhood bedroom. I'll let you surmise on your own how well (chaotic) that is going lol. In fact, to quote my mom, "I love having you here but I'm about to go tell your builder we'll help them if it makes them build faster."
Content wise, you can also expect some gaming videos the next few months as my brother and I dive into some of our favorite nostalgic games, along with some video content about what it is really like to live on the Outer Banks.
Here’s to new beginnings! Thanks for coming along on this exciting chapter with me, and no, I am not going to be the VAmillennial. I think the name still fits, despite the move. ^_^
A new life to start, I may be leaving but you're always in my heart.
