I moved to LA.. (Texas 👉🏻 California)

okay we're doing this so we are moving to LA and during the pandemic my husband and I John Jonathan Hill moved from New York City to Texas so we've definitely been doing a little bit of moving so I'm excited to bring you guys on this journey with me I kind of live life one lease at a time right one year at a time I think a lot of you guys thought I was maybe moving back to New York City so this might come as a shock let's just get into it Saturday she rhymes with peachy by the way if you're new around here I make videos about tech and living that creative life okay so if I'm being honest this was kind of never on my bingo board for life I didn't think that we were staying in Texas forever but I definitely thought we were there for kind of our next chapter of life I grew up there I've spent over 20 years of my life there and so it was very comfortable for me because I had my entire family there and I was kind of morphing into like pre-youtube Sarah you know not moving a lot not really exploring outside of my comfort zone which I think Define my entire five to six years in New York City right and so it kind of took John to start being like hey um what how are we feeling about leaving Texas for me to kind of wake up from that and so John started saying some kind of out there things like oh man it would be kind of cool to spend some time in South Korea um because you know he has family out there and I was just like oh hold your horses hold your horses I that that's a little bit too much for me I do like going for things and you know Carpe Diem and I definitely don't live a normal life but that was just a little bit too out there and so I think just this one thing that I said to him is what sparked it all I was like babe like South Korea I I can't do that but like I would move to LA with you if that's what it takes I mean you know all of your skate friends and so much of your previous life is here I get why you uh you know like California but that that was it and that's kind of what started the spark and only a few months later we had decided we're moving and so it took me longer to get where John was you know having an excitement to move to LA to move to California because if I'm being honest even though we would come out here for work for YouTube jobs to hang out with our YouTube Friends probably like four or five times a year no matter where we live we would come out here a ton I feel like I still had this opinion of California that is defined by other people that's defined by the media that's defined by my family that's defined by podcasters right and so once we started contemplating the move I started to think a little bit more for myself and being like okay everywhere has its problems obviously Texas has things that I don't like New York had things that I don't like in California definitely has things that I don't like but what is my actual opinion and it's actually very practical for our jobs almost all of our friends are here and our life is comprised of probably 90 work and so going to a place where work actually becomes easier yes it becomes a little bit more expensive but but I think it becomes easier and more fun so that actually has a much greater return on investment on just our person and our brain and our soul like seeing friends and the idea of making some videos is just easier right that actually makes a ton of sense but the best part of Texas was my entire family was there and that was very nice okay we are packing I have been here now for two days in the office and I don't know I'm I guess I'm close but the more I pack the more stuff just comes out of shelves and I'm like how much stuff do I have it's too much I already sold a lot of stuff this is where I'm at right now so we got all the boxes trying to organize my aperture lights I did have to make some decisions like what what camera boxes am I actually going to save I'm a crazy where I keep almost all of my camera boxes in case I want to resell them right and yeah just a lot of gear to organize trying to get most of the stuff out from there I think this is going to be the last thing I do is tear down the infamous a-roll setup you guys are probably used to this angle right here so this is always what I see on the other side teleprompter setup with my fx6 okay I'm gonna get back to it because I'm focusing 100 on the Move I'm not actually filming packing everything because that would hurt my brains [Music] I just want people to think that you're that tall I'm 6V imagine how tall she is okay everyone there has been a development with the move the idea was we each Drive our separate separate Cars 2 L stuff that we don't want the movers to take like our computers and things but also we have a cat Judy and so I am just going to take Judy because he doesn't want to hear thank you so much man yeah he doesn't want to hear the meows right and he's going to take the fancy computer stuff but the development is there's a guest literally the day before the move my mom calls me because she's just been so worried about me doing 26 hours of a road trip by myself um and she was like yeah I think I should come with you literally the day before literally the best mom in the world yeah so she was worried about won my safety which she's not exactly a security guard but number two Judy it is gonna be super helpful to have an additional person helping with the cat because I am really nervous about the cat situation yeah it sucks I don't won't be able to listen to him scream the entire time yeah okay time for a moving Tech unboxing because we can't just have a normal video gotta show off some tech I got a new pair of Gen 2 Apple airpods Pro too because he noise cancellation is amazing on it and I dropped my first ones in the toilet [Music] you look so cute [Music] look at that face so with this move I've been selling a lot of gear that I don't use shout out to people following me on Twitter because you guys got some pretty sick deals but I was thinking this is gonna be a fun road trip and I thought it was just gonna be Judy and me but the fact that Genie is coming now makes this purchase I think even more validated but I just bought the newest GoPros uh you know I had like old GoPro fives and a mix I think I had like a GoPro seven um and just a lot of mixes of old GoPros and Sony rx-0s and I just wanted a setup of two of the latest GoPros they look exactly the same they have the extra resolution and kind of almost like a square sensor where it's easier to get vertical content from it um so yeah one two pack that I'm filming the day before a move is kind of crazy because usually I would reserve the last final one or two days to start packing but guys I would like to highlight that I've done some personal growth and I've actually been packing for the past week so I only have a few more boxes to do and of course my desk setup here because well I've waited to do this the last because I've also tried to continue working I'm failing but I've been trying [Music] wait this is a thick boy my other GoPro batteries aren't gonna work with it there's a GoPro 10 or a GoPro 11 I don't know I can't keep up with the numbers you want to know the main reason why I bought a new GoPro because of the front display none of the GoPros I had had a front display and I never want to use a GoPro without a front display ever again Amazon I paid for it it's like the Beastie Boys music video dude so wide is it oh my God I'm like completely in it my nose [Music] we are fully packed there's no Peach the neon peach is gone yeah this office has been one of my favorite offices outside of the noise and the bugs and some other things but aesthetically one of my favorites [Music] kind of looks like a tornado up there but I think it's just a tornado shaped cloud so we're good guys Judy is not having fun thunderstorms last night shooting me out all last night yeah barely any sleep so hence the very large coffee 's in the same spot something I've been working on is giving myself a little Grace you know not accepting the Judgment of people online and then not judging myself covet kind of broke my brain you know the past three years were freaking weird and so it was a very nice reset to be back somewhere with family and so now that I guess we're not exactly like moving on from the past three years but we've just learned and grown you know we're taking that next step and also not judging ourselves you know taking life honestly one year at a time we do not fit into the perfect pipeline the perfect Texas pipeline of okay go get a six hundred thousand dollar house in the suburbs those houses used to be three hundred thousand dollars you know I grew up there and uh seeing how expensive things have gotten is actually insane but you get that house in the suburbs it's like 15 minutes away from a grocery store and a coffee shop which I find very annoying right and you have the group of people that you hang out with and it's like a template and if you don't fit into that template you do feel kind of alienated and you know congratulations to anyone out there who bought a house before 2020 we tried to do that whole thing too and made a big mistake buying a condo in Texas that was stupid you know but we just we didn't fit anywhere right and so we're just exploring we're trying we're trying things right and we're just trying to figure out what is right for us so I don't want to sit here and like explain for 20 minutes why this and why that the honest answer is we're just trying to find what is right for us but I have chosen to not live in a place depending on what podcasters are talking about or what tweet thread boys are talking about the world has changed and live in the middle of nowhere and just do everything on your laptop no I I think I've come to peace with I want to be in a place with friends I want to be in a place where I feel like I have Community with the people I jive with right and you know it took me a minute to get here but I'm excited I'm excited for this next chapter with both John and me I'm excited for this next chapter of what videos are gonna look like and hey we have extra rooms for when my mom visits for when my family visits I wish I could just transport my entire family here but there's no way there's no way they would live here so that's okay it's day three this has been quite the church traveling with a cat and with an electric car I would recommend only doing one of those if you have to the stops of course is adding a lot of hours from Texas to California but also the cat has been surprisingly good during a car in the car because he only sleeps he did not like his cage at all so he's just sleeping at the feet of whoever's in the passenger seat which you know we wouldn't have been able to do if you weren't here so thank you so today's the first day that my body actually feels a little recovered from moving there were multiple days where everything was just like throbbing Pulsa it did not feel good at all but I probably slept a total of five or six hours in the past three to four days so I'm exhausted and I guess we can't blame the cat because I'm the one putting him through this the moment he's an 11 year old grandpa he's just a baby I'm so tired too tell the people what calmed him down last night so it was three four a.m and I put on this Animal Crossing chill study to playlist with like rain in the background which I listened to when I'm working late at night so I think he Associates that with just like chill time and that's what helped him put him to sleep so we just went to bed everyone went to bed with this Animal Crossing music so anyways we're officially in California so I think we have four or five hours left I can't wait to see it it looks beautiful she's never been there yeah I've never been to L.A I feel like sweet tea and Arnold Palmers are always too sweet I don't need the same amount of sugar that is in a soda right and I did not expect liquid death to do the thing I've always been wanting a uh well they call it a armless Palmer iced tea agave and vitamins it only has six grams of sugar in this entire bottle so let's do a taste test yeah that's good not too sweet you know it's exactly what you want their coffee is always so crazy this psychotic can of iced tea will use agave and B vitamins to savagely murder your thirst and turn its insides into balloon animals to book gigs at Children's birthday parties all right those little a little crazy energy [Music] this is so cute [Music] [Music] we have arrivaled um hey so what's up now that we're in your hometown of La it's true born and raised but since we are in your home yep my home and since I'm not waking up at 11 A.M anymore are you gonna bring me coffee every morning like you did this morning oh did you tell them that I did that this morning I'm telling them no yes I want to do that is that what I get now that I moved to California with you yeah because you wake up like four hours after me so by the time you wake up I'm like out and about but if it's literally only two hours I'm around I'll bring you coffee I'll bring you a pastry as long as it's vegan and I can have some as well perfect chilling okay so already on a good flow with that what are other things that I can get now that I'm here in California with you I mean we can go running together walking together we can I do I I am excited that I started my active lifestyle in Texas with hiring a trainer and stuff now I'm on a mission to find a trainer on an app because I don't want to have to drive to a gym here so I do want to continue my physical Journey but here yeah there are like Hills that you climb it smells to go on top of it's so much easier here because it just seems like such a part of the culture everyone's always walking around no matter what there are tons of people who are extremely fit everywhere there's a lot of like super models and we're in a neighborhood which is nice so we're already like going out you know walking in the morning and stuff that's not really something that we could ever do we did that in New York a bit when we were in nicer Apartments half the time it was difficult yeah so I I do like the blend of okay City Vibe we are super close to Target Whole Foods restaurants under 10 minutes but then also we're in a neighborhood so it's like the best blend of I think New York and Texas tons of nature tons of beauty tons of trails Mountains and the addition of what makes California cool so dude you know what's crazy though if you watch these videos consistently enough and then you click like the description thing sometimes you'll see like my name in there how weird is that and if you click my channel hit subscribe it's so funny the things that happen yeah although I am so close to a million subscribers yeah subscribe to this and we need to go on a campaign of Sarah to 1 million subscribers it doesn't take I swear between you a video that pops off you get so many more subscribers than the average YouTuber does because you make good videos that's probably the best although it feels like kind of a long time coming if I don't mind saying so myself you got there that was good so the cross-country road trip with a cat with an electric car with your mom with her mom she helped a ton and then I went straight to WWDC for the Apple event did the same day film and edit on that video I lost all of my audio for the talking bits because my freaking love was half plugged in to my DJI technology transceiver oh cause I had that stupid gold ring on it and it didn't go in all the way anyways anyways I'm very tired yeah we got a new Sleep Number bed too which I'm very excited about and I improved my sleep score last night so now that I'm gamifying sleep I think I'm gonna do better the app too is saying consistent sleep a routine is key which I don't have in my life so that's what I'm focused on here you'll get there anyways congrats babe on La I'm really proud of you and myself damn I'm sick okay let me know if you
