Like, it's not 00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:17.780 even funny anymore. I've literally cut down on 00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:22.439 sweets. I'm going to the gym. I'm fasting occasionally. 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.530 I'm looking for more green, so... That's just 00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:31.269 my journey. I'm trying to keep up with the calories, 00:01:31.489 --> 00:01:34.709 keep up with how much protein, all that. Like 00:01:34.709 --> 00:01:37.530 I'm very, not even being strict on myself, but 00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.010 I'm very much in the zone. I found a good app 00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:44.849 to help me manage my food. Like I'm just very 00:01:44.849 --> 00:01:49.049 much in the zone. I've recently been looking 00:01:49.049 --> 00:01:53.790 into MyFitnessPal, and that is a good app to 00:01:53.790 --> 00:01:59.400 help manage your your food food portions and 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.439 how much you're eating and all that good stuff 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.359 it has a free version if anyone is listening 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.959 and curious about how to maintain their health 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.639 because health is wealth so we want to stay healthy 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.520 i know i want to stay healthy not just because 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.960 my birthday is january 5th and it is approaching 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.259 but that does have a factor and it will serve 00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:25.300 me what a great purpose here But I'm also knowing 00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:27.580 that I'm getting older and it's just better to 00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:29.479 start the journey while you're young in your 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.419 20s than it is to start it later, okay? So I 00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:36.780 am thriving and jumping right into my health 00:02:36.780 --> 00:02:39.419 and wealth journey, not looking back, feeling 00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:42.599 great about it. And that's just how I'm feeling 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.780 when it comes to health. I'm feeling good, looking 00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:50.800 good, just thriving. Gonna keep going and I'm 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.550 gonna keep doing more research on. what your 00:02:53.550 --> 00:02:56.270 girl can and can't eat. The only thing about 00:02:56.270 --> 00:02:59.669 this journey because everything in life has its 00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:03.250 pros and cons. So the cons for this journey for 00:03:03.250 --> 00:03:09.289 me is that I get hungry. I get so hungry. So 00:03:09.289 --> 00:03:12.509 I've decided to just dive into more fruit as 00:03:12.509 --> 00:03:15.650 I get hungry, maybe give me some fruit, have 00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:19.389 a little cheese, nothing crazy. But yeah, I've 00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:22.979 been eating fruit like you don't know what. every 00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:25.319 time I buy fruit it's disappeared because I keep 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.479 eating the fruit but it's better than eating 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.219 too much junk you know as a snack so I'm enjoying 00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:36.020 my journey and I'm just keeping it going because 00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:39.699 that is my priority that is one of my focus is 00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:43.319 to keep the journey going okay but I'm ready 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.919 to get to the agenda and what's on here besides 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.080 me and my life But of course, I am going to give 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.800 you a life update the health of health is wealth 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.900 journey is only part of my life update So on 00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:01.300 my end here, like I told you all the home the 00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:05.210 car has came out beautifully. Well, it's not 00:04:05.210 --> 00:04:07.590 even the decor part. It's the organizing everything 00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:11.069 first and then stepping our foot into slapping 00:04:11.069 --> 00:04:14.189 color on different walls and doing all that great 00:04:14.189 --> 00:04:16.889 stuff, different decorations in different rooms. 00:04:17.389 --> 00:04:20.490 It has come out beautifully. Now, I'm trying 00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:24.910 to maintain the organization, organizing everything 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:28.949 before I step into decorating, because if I... 00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:31.670 Start decorating and things get dirty really 00:04:31.670 --> 00:04:35.889 quickly. I might pass out dramatically, but I'll 00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:39.189 be fine But I'm trying to make sure everything 00:04:39.189 --> 00:04:43.230 can just stay It's a one -a -core before we happen 00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:45.550 to decorating but we're getting close me and 00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:48.269 the Virgo are being very careful Because we're 00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:49.930 like we just cleaned up. We do not feel like 00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:52.850 dirty enough to reclaim So we're being very careful 00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:58.269 about how we do everything. And for me, cleanliness 00:04:58.269 --> 00:05:01.689 is next to godliness. So your girl is always 00:05:01.689 --> 00:05:03.610 going to be clean and I'm not going to let it 00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:05.589 get dirty. And then I'm going to teach him how 00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:10.430 to clean up. But he's a little more clean as 00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:15.410 well. He's a lot more organized as well. So OCD 00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:18.370 in certain days on certain days. So yes, he can't 00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:20.930 get too dirty because then he'll go crazy. So 00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:26.209 that's the pros of the whole decorating and organizing 00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:28.569 everything. Like I told you, everything has its 00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:33.069 pros and cons. But on another note here, you 00:05:33.069 --> 00:05:39.610 all, I would like to give my condolences to all 00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:43.490 these legends, all these legends that recently 00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:47.670 has passed. I'll start with Viola Fletcher, died 00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:52.389 at the age of 111. Viola was the oldest living 00:05:52.389 --> 00:05:57.529 survivor of the Tulsa race massacre. So I don't 00:05:57.529 --> 00:05:59.829 know if you guys know about it. Do your research. 00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:04.129 Google Viola Fletcher. You'll be able to get 00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:08.370 your education up to part on Viola Fletcher. 00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:13.889 Also, Jeff Cliff, great reggae legend. Great. 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.819 Harder They Come was a good movie, and I advise 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:21.779 that you guys to, if you want to tune into Harder 00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:24.819 They Come, or you want to do your research on 00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:27.920 Jeff, I'm sorry, on Jimmy Cliff, then I think 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:33.160 you should. This is our USA great American legends 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.079 that I'm just sending my condolences to families, 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.360 rest in peace to these people, and it's just, 00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.360 it was very, very disturbing hearing all these. 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.660 All these great legends passing away. Lastly, 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:52.220 Rodney Rogers was in an ATV accident. So Rogers 00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:57.319 had a major spine surgery and then he was paralyzed. 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.620 So if you've seen any pictures or photos, you 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:05.019 may notice that he was paralyzed and the complications 00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:07.800 from that surgery led to his death. So it was 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.040 just unfortunate that we lost Mr. Rodney Rogers. 00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:14.550 at such a young age. He literally had to be in 00:07:14.550 --> 00:07:17.310 his 50s when I was looking him up. I was like, 00:07:17.449 --> 00:07:19.689 okay, this is just crazy. When I went to go check 00:07:19.689 --> 00:07:21.829 his date of birth, I was like, this is what I'm 00:07:21.829 --> 00:07:25.089 talking about. Too many black men are dying young. 00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:29.310 Too many. So like I stated, rest in peace to 00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:32.689 all these great legends and sending my condolences 00:07:32.689 --> 00:07:37.790 out to their family as well. I also am going 00:07:37.790 --> 00:07:40.610 to switch it up here. because that was a sad 00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:43.730 moment for me. I want to switch it on up. I want 00:07:43.730 --> 00:07:48.410 to talk about my Thanksgiving review. My first 00:07:48.410 --> 00:07:50.889 Thanksgiving out here in the UK, because you 00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:54.009 know Thanksgiving is an American holiday. It 00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:59.949 is not a UK holiday. So I did make my family 00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:02.430 over here help celebrate Thanksgiving because 00:08:02.430 --> 00:08:05.589 I still am American, although I'm in the UK. 00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:09.360 So we had Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was lovely. 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:15.279 We had meatballs that I cooked. We had yams that 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.620 I cooked. Like I told you, Momma Dukes was in 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:21.920 the house. She cooked some cabbage. She cooked 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.920 some goat meat. And let me tell you, I've never 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.699 had goat meat. That was my first time having 00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:31.199 goat meat. it takes a little it tastes a little 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.919 similar to like chicken or like oxtail and that's 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.519 just two different things but they taste a little 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.980 similar to both okay the heavy bones remind me 00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:44.779 of oxtail the little taste of it was like okay 00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:47.279 this kind of tastes like a little chicken but 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.639 it was good it was a very very good now before 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:58.500 we started cooking that goat I only provided, 00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:05.120 I only had the meatballs. Partially because it 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.820 was my boyfriend's, it was his part to get the 00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:12.759 extra meat. Like my meat was meatballs. He was 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.480 going to get oxtails. Now we get to the butcher 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.139 shop and he starts seeing goat meat and chicken 00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:22.379 legs, not even chicken legs, chicken feet. Okay. 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:27.730 And I was just like, he was just so. In awe of 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:29.909 everything it was just like we have to give this 00:09:29.909 --> 00:09:32.289 we have some I've always loved chicken feet always 00:09:32.289 --> 00:09:35.789 loved Goat meat, you know, I love this stuff. 00:09:35.789 --> 00:09:37.470 We have to get it. Have you ever had it? I'm 00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:41.309 like, no, I've never had it So my brain was just 00:09:41.309 --> 00:09:44.009 thinking we're just check, you know, I'm like, 00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:46.570 oh, we're just chatting He's just like oh, I 00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:49.909 got to have it. We got to try it I was not convinced 00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:52.470 that he was gonna actually purchase the goat 00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:54.659 meat I was convinced that he was going to put 00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:58.120 the goat meat back and grab the oxtail. This 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.879 is what my capricorn brain was convinced. So 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:05.659 once we got home, once we showed mother the meat 00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:08.399 that was going to be cooked, she was like, oh, 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.419 this goat meat has to take a while. Oh, these 00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:13.759 chicken bones. I mean, this chicken feet has 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.899 to take a while. This can't be done tonight. 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.820 My jaw dropped to the floor. I'm like, what do 00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:22.279 you mean this can't be done tonight? like today 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.860 is thanksgiving not tomorrow we can't cook tomorrow 00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:28.039 we're supposed to be eating leftovers tomorrow 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.539 like this this is a usa situation here this is 00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:36.320 a ritual that we do in the u .s you cook on thanksgiving 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:41.159 you have thanksgiving um leftovers the next day 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:47.830 so i was very much shocked so I almost cried 00:10:47.830 --> 00:10:50.870 after I cooked the meatballs and everything and 00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:53.350 she was just like we'll just have the meatballs. 00:10:53.710 --> 00:10:57.529 No we won't. I will pass out. I will literally 00:10:57.529 --> 00:11:00.529 dramatically pass out if we only eat meatballs 00:11:00.529 --> 00:11:04.149 as the meat on Thanksgiving. Like I don't live 00:11:04.149 --> 00:11:07.929 in a world like that ever. And I'm not even trying 00:11:07.929 --> 00:11:10.269 to sound privileged and all that. No, I'm just 00:11:10.269 --> 00:11:12.850 grateful for Thanksgiving and the meals that 00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:16.629 it provide and the comfort and the love and his 00:11:16.629 --> 00:11:19.129 mom was trying to convince me to just be grateful 00:11:19.129 --> 00:11:22.129 for my meatballs. And I'm not saying I wasn't 00:11:22.129 --> 00:11:25.090 grateful for my meatballs, but I wanted to be 00:11:25.090 --> 00:11:27.610 grateful for my meatballs and another portion 00:11:27.610 --> 00:11:32.450 of meat. So what she did was she noticed that 00:11:32.450 --> 00:11:35.460 I was about to cry. and I was I was literally 00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:37.899 about to cry like what are you guys saying like 00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:40.159 you're not speaking American language what are 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:44.919 you saying so then she then realized I was about 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:49.200 to cry so she threw on the goat meat and the 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.659 goat meat got completed before dinner and I was 00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:55.220 a happy camper all over again like that's all 00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:59.159 I want simplicity two portions of meat people 00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:03.539 Just simple things, you know. So we got the goat 00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:08.039 meat going. We had a lovely dinner. I also cooked 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.500 corn on a cob. Oh, it was just, it was a blast. 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.639 It was some good stuff. We had salsa. It was 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.259 so good. Tomato sauce. We had a lot of food going 00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:20.740 and it was just three of us. Like that was my 00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:22.919 type of party though. Like you're supposed to 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.759 get stuffed on Thanksgiving. You're supposed 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.940 to enjoy each other. you maybe even want to tell 00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:30.899 each other what you're thankful for if you want 00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:34.259 to. It was only three of us, so I did that. Now, 00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:36.960 typically back in the USA, the family is a lot 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:41.519 huge, a lot bigger, so I would not say what I'm 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.620 thankful for at the table because it would be 00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:46.940 so many people at the house. But since over here 00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:49.120 it was just three of us, I was like, okay, so 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:50.860 I can say what I'm thankful for. It's only three 00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:54.379 of us. But if it was much more, a few... a whole 00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:56.419 family reunion, I would not have said anything 00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:58.480 like that. I just would have been thanking people 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.039 for bringing food, thanking people for being 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.600 there, and that would be it. But I told them 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.480 what I was thankful for, and they kept eating. 00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:12.759 They said nothing after that. They didn't say 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.799 anything they were grateful for. They were like, 00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:19.409 we barely even do this holiday. So I thought 00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:22.169 it was pretty funny. I was like, it didn't dawn 00:13:22.169 --> 00:13:25.509 on me till I was upstairs eating the dessert. 00:13:25.789 --> 00:13:28.309 I was like, hold on. I was the only one that 00:13:28.309 --> 00:13:30.649 said I was thankful for something this holiday. 00:13:30.809 --> 00:13:34.250 Okay. On this lovely holiday. Okay. Okay. All 00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:38.730 right. All right. All right. So I had no problem 00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:40.870 with that. I just only noticed it afterwards. 00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:46.490 But after all of that, it was just such a great 00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:51.269 time for Thanksgiving. ate so well um i didn't 00:13:51.269 --> 00:13:53.830 even get to properly go to the gym the next day 00:13:53.830 --> 00:13:56.149 like i planned on eating then hitting the gym 00:13:56.149 --> 00:14:00.590 the next day no i couldn't do anything until 00:14:00.590 --> 00:14:03.590 after the anniversary party that i told you guys 00:14:03.590 --> 00:14:07.230 about that anniversary party was on that following 00:14:07.230 --> 00:14:09.169 saturday because you know thanksgiving was on 00:14:09.169 --> 00:14:12.929 thursday resting on friday uh anniversary party 00:14:12.929 --> 00:14:16.990 was saturday so the anniversary party was saturday 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:21.460 Had a blast at the anniversary party like I had 00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:24.539 no idea that it was going to be like that and 00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:28.440 I think Neither then neither did my boyfriend's 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.539 mother. I think she thought it was not an anniversary 00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:33.820 party I think she thought it was a wedding because 00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:37.259 she kept saying I'm one of the bridesmaids And 00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:41.220 I'm like I love you, but I think I read that 00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:44.820 invitation properly and it says anniversary party 00:14:46.760 --> 00:14:52.419 But once we got to the place She was very happy 00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:55.200 and excited to mingle with her friends with her 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.580 family. She was just excited So we got to the 00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:03.360 venue everybody was dressed now one thing I did 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.679 miss and I didn't fully get to read because all 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.340 I read was just the the preview of the invite 00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:11.220 and then I got the rest of my information from 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.700 my boyfriend and his mother. They kept telling 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:17.259 me this is going to be a black and white party. 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.039 And I'm like, okay, I'll get my black and white 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:25.519 together. So I get there. This party was a blue, 00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:29.320 black and white party. Now there's no huge difference, 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.279 but your girl loves blue. I would have for surely 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.460 been in blue. Okay, I'm talking about I would 00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:38.980 have thrived in blue. I thrived in black too. 00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:41.899 Don't get me wrong, but blue is definitely my 00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:46.700 color so I Got there people were in blue and 00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:49.320 I was a little heartbroken because I wasn't in 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.500 blue But I was like these people look beautiful. 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.879 I'm looking beautiful as well with my black, 00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:57.559 but they had they blew on Everybody was looking 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.179 great. They had their black on their white on 00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:03.039 everybody was looking great like not in a million 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.840 years that I think that everybody was about to 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.200 show up and show out and enjoy themselves like 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.159 they were they did at that anniversary party. 00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:15.919 So let's get down to the party details. Once 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.379 I get more into the party, we grab our plates, 00:16:19.659 --> 00:16:23.200 we take pictures, and we sit down and we eat. 00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:29.000 Now I had no idea that people from South Africa 00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:34.399 Dance so much Like I'm talking about after we 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.460 were eating they were up dancing after we prayed 00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:42.580 They were up dancing after they had speeches 00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:46.440 They were up dancing it didn't stop like these 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.700 people know how to burn some calories seriously 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:53.659 like real deal calories and I started dancing 00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:56.190 and getting into it as well I had to even take 00:16:56.190 --> 00:16:59.049 my shoes off on the dance floor just to have 00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:01.210 a good time because maybe the dogs was barking 00:17:01.210 --> 00:17:05.210 after a while because these shoes are for fashion 00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:07.990 purposes. You can walk but you cannot be walking 00:17:07.990 --> 00:17:09.930 for hours. You gotta know when to put your feet 00:17:09.930 --> 00:17:14.470 up. So I'm in my good shoes. I'm partying with 00:17:14.470 --> 00:17:16.950 them. I finally take them off so I can really 00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:20.970 get down and dirty on the floor. I started having 00:17:20.970 --> 00:17:24.769 a blast. Like, I started recording people, taking 00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:27.809 pictures of the aunties, taking pictures with 00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:31.430 the aunties. Like, the fashion sense was out 00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:34.769 of this world. Everyone came on their best dress. 00:17:34.990 --> 00:17:38.390 Like, seriously. You know, everybody came ready 00:17:38.390 --> 00:17:42.829 to kill, ready to slay the room. Maybe they searched 00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:46.609 for those outfits. And the makeup... everybody's 00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:49.529 makeup every woman that had makeup on looked 00:17:49.529 --> 00:17:53.089 gorgeous okay wasn't no sloppiness or nothing 00:17:53.089 --> 00:17:56.890 everybody every makeup had a nice blend to it 00:17:56.890 --> 00:18:01.289 I was looking at details people okay I was paying 00:18:01.289 --> 00:18:05.009 attention to the details they had two wine bottles 00:18:05.009 --> 00:18:09.369 set at each table with with the thank you cards 00:18:09.369 --> 00:18:11.869 for coming in well actually was like thank you 00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:15.480 treats for coming to the party. It was a beautiful 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.480 situation. The anniversary party was a half anniversary, 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.920 half birthday. So the two couple birthdays are 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.619 like around the same month. and they didn't get 00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:31.240 to properly celebrate. So also they had the anniversary 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.759 party considering that they had both approaching. 00:18:35.099 --> 00:18:38.299 So they had the anniversary party and the birthday 00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:41.740 and they missed their birthday situation during 00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:43.759 their birthday party celebration. They missed 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.519 it. So it was just a nice idea to have both in 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.099 one. I'm just grateful that everybody showed 00:18:51.099 --> 00:18:55.140 up and showed out. Thought I was gonna be something 00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:58.980 more like sit back lay back. Mm -hmm. No, I'm 00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:02.240 like if we have a wedding I need all these people 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.039 here every single one of these people. I need 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.619 them at the wedding They're not boring. They're 00:19:08.619 --> 00:19:11.559 they're not showstoppers. They actually show 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.720 steppers, okay They came in they stepped they 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.460 loved it. They enjoyed themselves. I enjoyed 00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:21.990 myself and It was just great. Like, it was great 00:19:21.990 --> 00:19:26.789 vibes, great people. So many different people 00:19:26.789 --> 00:19:29.250 as well. I was able to speak to different people. 00:19:29.589 --> 00:19:31.509 A lot of people from different cultures were 00:19:31.509 --> 00:19:36.849 there. I met people from Tanzania. It doesn't 00:19:36.849 --> 00:19:40.349 stop. Kenya. It was just so many cultures in 00:19:40.349 --> 00:19:44.269 there. A lot of them were mentioning that they 00:19:44.269 --> 00:19:46.950 had been to the United States, but they wasn't 00:19:46.950 --> 00:19:50.910 sure which state. So they would Just name off 00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:54.609 different cities But they wouldn't name out the 00:19:54.609 --> 00:19:59.109 full state. So it was one he was like, yeah I've 00:19:59.109 --> 00:20:03.369 been near Hollywood Boulevard. It's like okay. 00:20:03.410 --> 00:20:07.150 So you've been to California God, okay, so they 00:20:07.150 --> 00:20:10.210 was named off like the different parts of the 00:20:10.210 --> 00:20:12.950 city and Some of them were named in the city 00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:15.430 but different parts of the cities as well and 00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:17.410 then they couldn't name the state They was like, 00:20:17.410 --> 00:20:19.730 I'm not sure what state we were in, but we went 00:20:19.730 --> 00:20:23.950 here, you know? So it was nice to hear that they've 00:20:23.950 --> 00:20:27.390 traveled in and out of America. They like America. 00:20:28.109 --> 00:20:29.910 A lot of them saying, hey, they plan to go back 00:20:29.910 --> 00:20:33.150 to America. So I thought it was pretty lovely 00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:37.089 on my end here to see all of them just be in 00:20:37.089 --> 00:20:40.220 and out and have different. Different culture 00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:42.940 and a different perspective of every place that 00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:45.440 they've been to so a lot of them had different 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.039 perspectives about America a lot of different 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.599 And I have my own perspectives about where they 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.839 came from as well. So it's just a lot of perspectives 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.519 there everybody having a great time, but That's 00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.500 not all I want to talk about today I just wanted 00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:03.019 to give you guys update on my life on my journey 00:21:03.019 --> 00:21:06.880 so far in the UK Like I stated that anniversary 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.059 party was to the roof.

Like, I don't get to see it too often, 00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:18.460 especially not without fights, because in the 00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:21.380 U .S., somebody always fighting. So, it was lovely 00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:25.460 to see. everybody there enjoying themselves whatever 00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:27.400 issues they had they put it to the side they 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.720 showed up they were loving on each other they 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.380 were dancing with each other bringing gifts for 00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:34.299 each other and supporting each other so that 00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:39.240 was just beautiful and it was just so enlighting 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:43.500 to see you know so on that note I'm gonna switch 00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:47.240 it up here and get into one of the next topics 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.460 why don't I So, on my next agenda here, I have 00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:53.839 the show of the week.

I want 00:24:34.769 --> 00:24:38.309 to know more. I want to watch it. I want to see 00:24:38.309 --> 00:24:41.930 how they put this production together. I'm very 00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:43.609 curious of how this production is going to come 00:24:43.609 --> 00:24:46.630 out. Out here in the UK, I have to wait to see 00:24:46.630 --> 00:24:49.930 it. If I was in the US, I would be watching ASAP 00:24:49.930 --> 00:24:54.730 right now, but it's okay. In the UK, we are a 00:24:54.730 --> 00:24:57.869 little back on time over here, so it doesn't 00:24:57.869 --> 00:25:01.170 come out till the 6th, I think, over here.
