this video is sponsored by j crew [Music] i’ve been making my own coffee every day for over a week now and it still feels so weird actually my dad’s been making the coffee but i still have to get up and pour it and bring it to myself in bed oh man i’m super spoiled nate is currently on a moroccan adventure i’m standing on top of the tallest mountain in north africa and i’m about to embark on my very first solo trip in our van i love chocolate covered all right i’m really nervous but i’m also excited [Applause] wow it’s better than blow drying but it’s still annoying there is a reason i don’t usually share beauty tips on this channel and that is because i have no idea what i’m doing good ee enough it’s finally here the van has been in the shop all week and all i have to say is these better be the best tires the road has ever seen how’s it feel you don’t hear the noise anymore have you seen any of our past van vlogs you know that our van is loud okay daddy i’m ready whoa it’s working oh no it’s still leaking you’re probably wondering why is nate still in morocco having fun without kara why is kara back at home by herself doing nothing so if you’ve missed our past few videos let me quickly catch you up a few weeks ago we flew to greece because we found a fair drop that was 300 round trip i had to leave a few days early to come back for my cousin’s wedding and nate casually decided that he was going to stay in greece to run his first marathon i’m doing it no big deal but there is one massive reason i came home by myself i don’t know how i’m going to put all this stuff away but majority of it came from the van in the first place ow my hair got stuck in my ring so my sister is like my favorite girl in the whole entire world and for the past week i’ve been pacing my parents house literally just waiting for her to call to tell me that she’s had her first baby and she finally did i’m sorry that was annoying this is one of four outfits that i’ve already bought for him how cute is this i’ve literally been packed for this trip for your account today five days with the tires that we ordered weren’t in in time then it took forever to get them done and then the brain sensors and then that all that matters is that the van is ready to go i’m ready to go and hank is waiting for me in dallas all right it was a dangerous job of all this never gets less annoying oh it’s been cooking in here here we go bye daddy this feels weird well this didn’t take long i’m five minutes into the trip and my front right tire is at 30 psi i’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be at like 55 or 60. i can’t believe this is happening it’s not flat but it’s looking low hello hey the front right tire says it’s at 30 psi all right i’ll be right there i have not had enough coffee for this hey it really does look low gone up yet i swear it does doesn’t lower all right here’s what we got to do here don’t cry this pump isn’t strong enough to bump that up i cannot believe this plan b okay let’s go the sun has risen i am caffeinated and i am driving on i-40 west for the next 200 miles i’m doing it i’m so proud of you feel free to call me back at any time all right the next 36 hours okay i love you love you too i got all my snacks in the door ready to go so hopefully i don’t have to stop and eat for a while i’ll probably still will though [Music] first of probably many potty breaks something about getting up early just makes me hungry [Music] dark chocolate almonds with a hint of sea salt dangerous my feet are so cold ouch just hit my head on the mirror okay back on the road the trip if i didn’t stop would take around 11 hours but if any of our road trips in the past or any indication 11 hours for us means like 20 at least and that’s when nate and i are tag teaming i think it’s gonna take me a while the plan is i don’t really have a plan it’s really hard to plan a road trip when you have no idea when you’re leaving so when i’m looking at my route picking out places to stop and eat and walk around and sleep i didn’t know what time i was getting there so i didn’t know if i was gonna drive through memphis at breakfast time lunchtime dinner time it was stressful and on top of all that nate is the planner in this relationship like 100 i’m trying to think of a single thing that i plan during our travels nothing there are no rules nate’s not here i can stop and eat whatever i want i can stop and pee whenever i want the ultimate goal stop somewhere cool to sleep tonight and get to dallas and have baby snuggles sometime tomorrow it’s just me and the man who knock on wood isn’t going to have any more problems okay that’s all for now so foggy right now this is crazy all right it’s time to jam you can’t jam with me or youtube will get mad so i’m gonna mute whatever i’m actually listening to but a really cool song forever doing sound you just use your imagination see if you can figure out what i’m singing [Music] if you can’t figure that one out then i’m sorry you’re missing out next up on my snack list beef jerky but it’s made out of mushrooms holy shitake obviously it’s not beef jerky but it is so dangerously close it’s not gonna fight no i jinxed it psi on that tire is at 44. if it goes down anymore i’m gonna worry i seriously think my bladder has gotten worse at holding my urine in the last year and a half because i always have a toilet keep left to continue on exit 24 a b no i’m not listening to you continue for half a mile oh my gosh i’m about to pee on my pants your destination is on the left okay wish me luck hello hi how can we help i got a brand new tires yesterday and my front right tire went from 47 to 30 psi so i think something’s wrong yeah it sounds like you got a problem yeah we can get you in look at it sweet oh i’m so happy how long do you think it’ll be i’m gonna make the next one in but it’ll probably be maybe 25 minutes it’s a beautiful day so i’m just going to sell time it’s kind of weird but i think we get some work done come i know [Music] hey uh i think i have good news he said we have an unusual problem what is it your wheel is actually cracked the metal wheel is leaking that’s crazy here’s baby hay say hello everyone i think it’s done good as new oh mess hey daddy hey did you call me back yeah daddy they wouldn’t let me pay no yeah that makes you wanna cry yeah he was just so sweet oh that’s incredible i tried so hard i tried to give him the cash i tried to give him my card and he just wouldn’t take it did you start crying right there yeah he thinks i’m crazy i love you too i think i’m just overwhelmed with the kindness of this place and just the fact that i ended up here just got off a random exit to pee i had no idea it had a tire shop full of the most caring people i think i’m also a little tired if you are ever in arlington tennessee about three-fourths of the way from nashville to memphis and you have any car trouble you must come see rusty at arlington automotive or just go write them a good review because they deserve it okay are you gonna need some food and some coffee because arlington is probably my new favorite place in the whole world i just stopped at a cute little local coffee shop down the road veggie melt wow what a day ha ha ha never forgot why i’m sleeping tonight i think i just found a gym just what i need i requested to stay but they have to approve it so we’ll see all right heading towards a farm that’s about five and a half hours away even though that’s more than i want to do today but in a perfect world there’s one that’s three hours away that just hasn’t gotten back to me yet so let the adventure continue turn right onto airline road then turn left onto us 70 west tennessee tennessee tennessee to the sea tennessee to the city tennessee arkansas finally oh that really the more stressed out you are the worse food you crave so right the harder your day is the further you skew towards mcdonald’s yeah the easier you’re the day the salads the veggies deeper access to ourselves and it’s it’s very hard to okay something fell which is not a big deal i mean unless it is a big deal the car is definitely on fire and everybody slammed on their brakes that was very scary i hope it wasn’t my computer that fell oh shoot it was my computer darn it these new brakes are just too good i forgot how good they were okay so rest stop can i get a rest stop [Music] oh gosh now everything’s fine [Music] i did this last night and somehow it’s already dirty in here i always blame nate for not taking his shoes off but it still happened without it sorry nate this was actually great timing because i saw a message come in from one of the ladies i messaged about spending the night and she’s out of town and can’t have me so i need to figure something else out hello hey is this peggy i was curious if you had any extra space for me to spend the night tonight absolutely all right are you alone i am yes you really will feel comfortable there but you’re behind the lock date and there’s no one there to bother you oh you’re so great thank you see you later bye yay oh my gosh she was so great i can’t believe i know where i’m sleeping tonight i just feel so so relieved here we go [Music] i don’t have anybody to drop me a beat this time so i love chocolate covered all right oh yeah the problem is they’re not here to stop me i might eat the whole bag you see oh dirty say that he’s the one who tells me to stop every time because i can’t help myself i’ll eat the whole bag big time i just use time twice darn it it’s true though i got no self control if he wasn’t here it would be the size of a big bowl this is not going well i don’t think i’m delirious enough yeah let’s play one more game and guess what song cares i feel like you’re gonna get this one [Music] [Music] this is me playing the electric guitar by the way if you can’t get that chorus i’m sorry i did my best keep right at the corner to continue on i-30 west okay if you prefer to stay on the current route have no thanks you already told me that there’s a 10-minute slowdown in five miles well then why are you taking me this way all right my ata is now 804. well i’m hungry i’m eating this whole bag of drinking whoa texas i’m pleased to meet you i wish i could see you but i can’t because it’s dark but i don’t care i’m gonna park in a stranger’s yard tonight on the phone she sounds real nice that was a good one it wasn’t a wrap but i liked it hexa card ah do you think it’s like texas and arkansas texas oh my gosh okay i don’t even want to say this out loud i have 34 minutes to my destination and my tire pressure warning just came on it’s at 42 oh my gosh oh nevermind i thought it went up but i just looked at the wrong one yeah all right so arkansas arkansas texas i’m in texas oh my gosh just knowing i’m in the same state as my final destination makes me so happy just right around the corner from texar karna i mean cam takes ortana i’ve not said it right first try yet hey lost ya sorry about that okay i’ll just have him meet you at the gate in 18 minutes okay sounds good my eta is 7 57. so you’re probably in new boston or close to it well you would know better than i would i know it’s a lonely road that’s why i want to check on you being by yourself you are so sweet thank you for checking i don’t like being out there by myself or know of other people out there by themselves it’s just my husband being a police officer i’m very much aware of what goes on so oh that’s amazing yeah it’s a dark road okay well i’ll tell them you’ll be there in about 16 minutes now okay perfect okay thank you oh my gosh peggy just called to check on me somehow peggy knew that i needed to be cared for oh there’s so many good people in the world it’s beautiful oh my gosh this is it i see it oh i already love it here i already love it here oh my gosh wow i am in the forest very nice to meet you thank you thank you so much for guiding me up here walk wherever you want to okay i’m so excited do your thing thank you okay this feels pretty flat [Music] i’ve been dreaming of doing these two things for the last two hours that was as good as i thought it was gonna be i promise tonight i was gonna make the yummiest quesadillas of all time but i just can’t be bothered i decided about an hour ago that i didn’t have the energy to make dinner i woke up at 4 30 this morning i’m emotionally exhausted and i think i’m gonna wake up pretty early again tomorrow because i want to see the sunrise over this farm and if you know me you know you know i’m not a sunrise girl usually hey i reached my goal of sleeping somewhere cool that’s not a random parking lot got me i’m so full all right the whole homeless not all the fed of them showed a little self-control so once again there’s a reason this isn’t a beauty tips channel but i have just discovered like oil cleansers and i kind of love them it basically just dissolves your makeup i think i look crazy the answer is yes i don’t know i really never had like a makeup routine i was obsessed with did i just say makeup routine i can’t get the coffee ready for tomorrow like nate always says [Music] you know you know ew this water filter is so slow [Music] and now for the part i’ve been procrastinating oh gosh that’s never happened before now which side i [Music] i’m kind of feeling this side should i sleep on nate’s side yeah totally sleeping on nightside and there’s nothing he can do about it the mornings and evenings are definitely what i miss nate the most it’s kind of fun to miss each other because like we’ve been within arm’s reach of each other for six years straight and i like kind of forgot what it was like to miss him and to be alone really and i think it’s good to miss each other and i think i’m going to sleep oh this is great morning it’s so cold not even trying to make a gimmicks for one ah i don’t know how long this takes i sleep through this every morning when it makes it that’s really good i did it it doesn’t look flat but it doesn’t look all the way full either [Music] oh my gosh are these chickens these are the biggest chicken they’ve ever seen like twice as big maybe three times as big or maybe i just haven’t seen very many chickens and there’s a little pond oh my gosh these are the cutest little donkeys i’ve ever seen they’re so tiny hi little one so many animal noises right now no way this place just keeps getting better it’s so cute it’s all homemade farm fresh goodies they just trust people to pay i am so happy right now i’m just gonna make myself look presentable real quick and then i’m getting out of here oh my gosh i can’t believe i’m finally about to see cassie and a baby good [Music] it’s happening it’s happening it is happening i’m going to dallas to see a baby boy still no tire warning oh i’m so excited it hurt thank you beautiful farm and peggy and jay for having me i don’t think it gets any better than that all it was really missing was the wine excellent stop i’m so happy i made it here last night because now i only have two hours and 10 minutes until that baby is in aunt kara’s arms i should tell nate that i’m alive facetime nate making a facetime audio call tonight no video facetime video nate making a facetime audio call tonight no hi guess where i’m going on us yeah 2509 your time don’t play home too soon i’m finally at the place i’ve wanted to be for the last week oh don’t fly home yeah all right well now when people ask if they should be worried about our relationship we’re gonna say yes okay i’ve gotta go get some food okay i love you love you bye so with all this talk about my new nephew and carol’s perfect little animal i can already foresee the comment section being full of kara when are you gonna have a baby karen nate what are you gonna start a family i don’t mind people asking some people get really offended some people get offended for me and i totally understand how it can be a sensitive topic we don’t talk about it much because we are still trying to decide okay pause the story i’m gonna go stock up on food for the family i’m going to stock their kitchen with all buggy snacks baby tater tots so crunchy i’m dark silent back to the kids then when i got married we decided like okay in five years start our family and that five year mark was about three years ago and we both looked at each other and we’re like are you ready for kids thankfully we’re on the same page you know we’re like we’re in this unique time we’ll revisit this discussion next year and then the next year and then the next year but i incidentally got pregnant tomorrow about nights of grace so that would be weird you know what i mean we would be fine with it like i don’t not want to have kids for sure like it feels weird even saying it out loud that we’re doubting because i just always thought it was going to happen and really this year is the first time ever we realized that like not having children is an option for us it feels so weird saying it out loud you’re like i’m not against it but i’m right now i’m not for it so thanks for listening i kid you not the sd card in this camera filled up when i was one minute away one minute i’m not even surprised anymore here we go here we go here we go oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh i can’t believe i’m finally here i think it turned so soon oh no oh gosh i definitely just knocked something off of that tree i’m actually here [Applause] are you smiling oh my gosh she’s a perfect angel it’s been a long time coming buddy i’ve been through so much to get to you i should have just flown on an airplane this is my nephew hank oh the sun is so bright first vlog it was all worth it i hope you all gotten all your snuggles in because he’s all mine i tried i’m gonna try to get up without knocking this over yeah very long time oh gosh this is so hard i’m gonna take a minute to peel my grapefruit i’m really sorry this is the most obnoxious thing i’ve ever done thanks again to j.crew for sponsoring this video
