I’m very happy for you. “Hold on loosely to the things of this world…” We did a very similar thing when my parents needed extra help. God provided a beautiful center hall colonial with a downstairs master bedroom with a sitting area. We easily added a kitchenette so they could have their own breakfast and lunch, and we shared our supper meals together. It worked out beautifully! We loved having them with us!! My precious daddy passed away Jan 2017 and my mom July 2018. We miss them both so much! It was the hardest, but the most beautiful time of our lives! Caring for our parents is one of the most rewarding thing you can do. Bravo, for honoring your mother and father! Blessings! 🙏🏼❤️
And bless you aswell ! I so wish i was in a position to have my mum with me 😢...but im in a tiny 1 bed flat .But i visit all the time x
All the luck and best wishes for a speedy relocation xx
I too went through the same with my parents. I thank God for the time we spent together,where I could do for them what they had always done for me. God is so good and we are blessed.
i knew that was what you were going to say!! i know you loved the location of that house , close to the downtown for the kids and the big yard and it’s really come to together so nicely. But Knorpps thrive on change. I remember feeling bad for the little kids when you left the house in Utah where they played every day with the neighbor kid on the trampoline and how sad they were to movie away and lose their friend. But the kids adapted and grew and are fine. Change is good, years ago Mike said travel was good bc it teaches you resilience, to be comfortable with being uncomfortable and that really hit home with me. Your kids are better people bc you aren’t afraid to change plans. good luck! and i’ll be watching as you rush to get it all done. it’ll be great. just like the night Mike finished the kitchen sink as you were leaving to catch a plane. Having a deadline seems to help move the projects along. :)
I was like the only shocking thing would be they are moving. But ive been here from the beginning and it's not shocking at all😂. I honestly thought that by the time Megan got the house how she wanted, she would be ready to move on to a new adventure.❤
Came here to say the same, haha!
You were doing great until you took a shot a megan. There is no need
This doesn't surprise me and yet I know Mike poured heart, sweat and tears into this home. I think when Mike asks for energy he shows just how tired he still is learning something new under time pressure is difficult and overwhelmibg. Megan I understand your enthusiasm and can only wish all the Knorpp the best. Please understand Mike does the bulk of the heavy lifting and trying to learn new skills at the same time. He reminds me of my husband who worked very hard but left me a widow and my 5 children without their Dad with a fatal heart attack working too hard.
@@colourful64able What are you talking about? That's one of the things I admire most about her!
@@sallycroft2191 Yes, I completely agree. Mike is a wonderful hardworking husband.❤️
Mike must be exhausted. I hope you can find a place that’s move-in ready because he’s been doing physical work non-stop.
I completely agree. He’s got to be ready for a little “me time” or “fun time”. Just my thoughts.
You dont need to finish all of it. A new buyer will have their own tastes. Wishing you good luck. X
I have to further support this comment. Whoever buys it will get the opportunity to finish the kitchen and any other internal items. I've seen so many people remodel a kitchen to sell the house only for the new buyers to rip everything out.
Paint the wild green color and just go simple in the kitchen.
We didn't finish everything when we moved almost 2 years ago. Maybe we could have made more money if we would have replaced the living room carpet but we sold fairly quickly and didn't really finish any projects.
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad Megan. Hope you're okay Mike - you look so drained by everything. All will be well!
As we finished the renovation on our house in Warsaw and were hanging some art, I told my husband we were moving to Spain. My husband took a bit of time to understand my reasons. 6 months later, we were in a rental in Spain with our things in the storage unit. For a number of reasons, it was the right move for us. Our kids were great helpers in the packing. (It was my 34th move in 63 years, so the family was not totally surprised) Sometimes, when the wind blows in a certain direction, you know it's just time to move.
I'm proud of you for taking care of your parents! More people should feel that way!
Yes!
Yes 👏 💜✨💯
This must be such a sigh of relief for your parents :) To know they will be cared for when they need it most .
My parents and my family did the exact same thing. It was the most special and spiritual growing time in my life. No regrets at all. God blessed us in so many ways. You will bless your parents in the most profound way. It’s a lot to adjust to but worth it. Prayers for the energy to finish your beautiful home and finding that special place for all of you. 💕
When i saw major announcement, I knew you were going to say you were moving. Good luck!
I live in Amish country here in WI. Our friends had a dairy farm and had just put in a new kitchen. The husband died and the wife put the house up for sale. Right away a Amish couple wanted the house, but, had plans to rip the kitchen out. The wife thought " No Way" She refused to sell. Her family told her she had to move on w/her life. She could not keep the house just b/c of a kitchen. So she realized that was true and it was holding her back. So she did sale and moved on. Your house is just that, but, your family is your home, no matter where you live.
Life is not about the buildings! I wish some of my family members would take this to heart.
Great people keep friends and make friendships wherever they land
You can make a home any where. I think you are making a good decision. Best of luck.
Hey Tess, love your cooking videos. You’re one of my favorites!
I'm a Real Estate Broker in Northern California. When I read the title of your vlog, I was hoping this would be your announcement. This is a fantastic decision! Someone else is going to be thrilled to have an opportunity to buy your lovely home. Prayers for a smooth transition. ❤
So, I totally understand your decision, and yes, family comes first. Funny, we just moved from VA to TN! We do have family there, so we are going back and forth. Life changes in a minute or slowly sometimes, and we just go with the flow... following your heart and knowing you will be guided on this new path. Blessings and best of luck as you begin your new journey! 🥰 ❤️
I feel like my response should be “😮” but with being around since the RV reno, I’m just like “ohhh! Where to?” 😊
I know right!
Literally how we reacted too 🥰😂
Ikea cabinets with Veddinge doors/drawer fronts + DIY butcher block countertops and you'll have that kitchen wrapped up in a few days. 👍 Go Knorpps!
With this announcement you will have it sold before you finish. I love your little cottage.
Perhaps you can find a place that has a separate In Law Suite, attached. That way your parents will still have their own space and privacy.
Poor Mike!
I think you should buy prefab cabinets for the kitchen instead of hand crafting everythin
Sorry to hear about your Dad’s health issues, Megan. If I were you, Mike, I wouldn’t try making kitchen units from scratch - nip to IKEA or an alternative and save yourself some stress and time! Good luck to you all in your next adventure! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
The whiplash I get with your channel is crazy! I love it but will be sending my medical bills to you. 😂 love ya guys!
Megan's ADD in full force. 😂 Wish you all the best.
I'm 63, my husband is 75. We're still moving all over the place!!! We've had two farms, lived in 55 and over communities, neighborhoods, took care of of parents who lived with us on the farm, and still like to move. :) I'm looking forward to watching your new adventure!
I’m so encouraged that the main reason for u shifting is because u want to look after your parents. It’s a very big thing here in Asia, the kids live with parents and later in life the parents live with the kids, it’s what we call filial piety - so parents are always looked out for in their golden years. Kudos!! God bless the family as u make this shift!!
I enjoy watching your videos. Ya’ll don’t owe us an explanation of how you live your life. Prayers, for a quick resolution and that you get a good price on selling your home.
I’m not surprised. I even thought about this when I heard a few kids were moving to VA. So sorry to hear about your dad. I love that y’all are so willing to help your parents. That will probably be a blessing and at the same time life changing for all of you. Looking forward to move videos.
As soon as you said “Major Change of Plans,” I thought “They are moving!”
I’m very interested to watch this process for you. We are looking at moving in 4 years & may have parents moving in with us as well. We also are looking at the timeline and wondering if it may get bumped up by health concerns changing shape.
Praying you both have amazing energy during this season.
1) I think this sounds like the right plan for you, close to your kids as they settle into their adult lives and creating somewhere that will suit your parents too
2) sounds great for me too as a viewer, the decorating and renovating videos are my favourite and it sounds like there will be lots of those to come!
I hope one day your family finds stability. The place you want to call home. Be happy😊
My response is: GOD BLESS THE KNORPPS - Wanna hear an odd thing? I saw that you had a new video out, clicked on it then paused as I went to get a cup of coffee. While doing so, I was kind of laughing to myself thinking WHY do I care about this family I don't even know? Wondering is there value here? Am I living in a fantasy world? LOL. Then I turned on the video & it was as if my concerns were answered. Odd. What I saw was genuine people feeling awkward about telling their viewers the path your life had just taken. And I realized, THEY'RE thinking the same thing as I! Too funny. Obviously you're aware that it's YOUR life, you can do whatever you want But you still felt this responsibility to viewers who you don't even know, but you wanted to express that you are genuine people (which I knew already!) and that your channel isn't just a money making scheme. (Not that's there's anything wrong with being compensated for the time/effort/care you put into it!) . So while your viewers CAN be pesky at at times ( I do believe I was among the commenters who, um, called you out on that living room "RUG" choice..LOL) I also know that 99.9% of your viewers watch because of who you are as people. I learn from watching your life lessons I can apply to my own life. No one's perfect, not me, not anyone. That being said, you and your family are, oh how do I say this, caring/responsible people who engage in life and do so in a positive curious can-do manner. And yes, ya'll are funny. Sorry to hear about your parents health concerns and I know all will be fine because loving support and focus on the important things in life is what it's all about. HOUSE TIP: I immediately thought that, I think the kids' bedrooms might be painted in, shall we say "strong" colors? LOL. Might want 2 think about (if you haven't already) re-painting to a more neutral color. Anyway, Godspeed. Have to say you're facial expressions in the video were really endearing. Lots of wide eyed, push forward in life , determined attitude. That's just one of the things we love about you and your family. PS: All the work you've done in that house will bring you a nice return 🙂
You are truly good people ❤ I love that you will be walking with and helping your parents in this next season.
Our neighbors here in the Kansas City area,moved to Va.on 20 acres.They love it! There ya go,homesteading 😊. Best of luck and may God bless you all!❤
We did the same thing, sold the house we poured ourselves Into and had built perfectly for us and moved interstate where having a granny flat was less regulated. My hubbys mothers health changed dramatically and suddenly. We spent the past year setting them up in a cosy new flat and have not even began on the fixer upper we’re in . But it’s a process, and eventually we will get there. It’s hard to make the call and set the decision. And the process can get messy and stressful. But the change and adventure forces us all growth and adaptions
'As Is' let the next guy make the kitchen the way they want.
When it comes to a buyer's ability to get loans, you really need rooms to be finished. Selling a home "as is" you will lose SO much money on the sale. It's a terrible idea IMO.
@@ChaiLatte13unless a builder buys it. 🤷🏻♀️ In this market, anything is possible!
God bless you for caring for your parents...
OMG! I'm so excited! It is really brilliant because you can consolidate so many expenses, the storage building, your parent's home and all those expenses, the older children's rents and expenses living in Virginia....and maybe sell that RV. Mike, just a thought, you were thinking of building the kitchen cabinets from scratch but now that it doesn't have to be forever home quality you can get pre-made cabinets from the Re-Store (or FB marketplace). Just keep going to the Re-store until you find a good set. That will save you so much time and stress. You had to be dreading the handmade cabinet process. I can't wait to see what comes next for y'all! ❤ P.S. please do the Virginia Vlog.
Is the house too small? I don't know, let go our to the van to discuss it!😅😅
We are a 3 generation household. I am so happy for all of you. Whether you are moving to support health concerns or just moving because you all want to be closer, it will be the best experience you can ever wish for! Congratulations…
I love this video!!
“How did the kids feel”?
Well…. Excited because “THEY ARE THE KNORPPES”!
Good for you guys for following your hearts and living your life for your family.
At the END of the day: allllllll that really matters is our families 💖🙏🏻
Very happy for you all
I’m sure the changes will be harder on the critics than on you 😂
If there’s anything I’ve learned from watching you guys is you make changes well.
Exactly...an inspiration❤
Holy Cow!!!!🤯
Poor Mike.....he's got to put together a kitchen plus work on bedrooms with you in a 2 month timeline? Good luck, you two!
It is amazing what we can accomplish when someone we love is sick & needs our immediate help. I don't think they'll need luck. Love is enough.
There’s nothing Mike and Megan can’t do together!! They’ve got this 🎉💥
I'm happy you are following your heart and going after your dreams! May God be in the details! Congratulations!
I dropped my mouth wide open. Seriously. 😳 Edited to add: I totally understand moving because of the size of your family, plus addition of your parents. God will show you the right place which will meet your needs 🙏😊♥️ Looking forward to the new adventures!
Sounds like it's divinely orchestrated! I've moved a lot and have learned to flow with the process. May you find ease in the final home renovations, hiring anything that might make sense. Simplify original plans if need too. All skills learned you take with you from this experience! Topping on cake will be creating a new adventure and cozy home once again! Fingers crossed, buyers love your home. ❤
Moving your storage space will be major. You have so much in there. I’ve never lived in Virginia but I have liked the idea of it for a long time. My family vacationed in Virginia Beach for some years. I loved the area.
Oh I hadn't thought about that with the storage space.
YEASSS!!! I love major change of plans announcements!!! This is awesome! Let's Gooooooooo! Always good to be around our family - and looking ahead to having an option to help your parents. Family
Makes a lots of sense ! What matters is that you have each other. Like you said , it's just a house. You can make home anywhere, is long you are together. Also helping your parents is very honorable . God will help you in every step.
so exciting! and its such a selfless decision to move to take care of your parents. I hope everything goes well and I am excited to watch your future videos on your journey to find your property. I always thought you guys suited country living best because of your desire to grow food, raise animals and be more self sufficient.
How funny. I haven't been watching your channel lately but just this morning thought "I wonder how the Knorpps are doing?" and the first thing I see is this video. Last time I checked in I do remember thinking that little house seemed too little. Of course in a few years' time all the older kids will have flown the nest, however these days in our experience they do have a habit of coming back like boomerangs! Virginia sounded familiar and I just remembered I have relatives who moved there from the UK decades ago.
I love your current house but, a house has to work for you and meet your needs. I hope you find something wonderful that you and Mike will make even more wonderful. Yay! New adventure.
Excited for a new chapter in the Chronicles of The Knorpps. Congratulations!
I love the way you both, just fly by the seat of your pants, and things do work out for you. We have stuff packed from 3 moves ago, and are trying to get this place renovated, but we are getting up there in yrs and it's not as easy as it would have been even 10 yrs ago. I hope to eventually see our things again. Can't even put my Pictures I collect too, or my Books out. Very discouraging. Best of luck finding the right place in your hunt.
WOW! I am excited for you and your family. You have both done an amazing job on the house, you should be proud of your accomplishments, and I am sure you will not have a problem selling it. I wish you much luck in finding the right place in VA. Many blessings to you.
So proud of you! You're right, it's just a building. Thank you for the reminder!
Totally excited for you and your family. I’m praying for you and your parents. May it all go smoothly as possible. And praying for Mike to get the construction finished with as little stress as possible.
Congratulations! I hear Virginia is a very classy place 😉 This will be a lovely new adventure for your family. I pray for the Lord's choicest blessings to be upon you and your family as you embark on this new chapter.
Classy???😂😂😂
Absolutely!
I’m very excited to watch (hopefully) you transition into your next journey. Thanks for sharing your news with us. We are praying for your parents and hope they find health and peace in their next move.
I'm very proud of you and your family! It's lovely to see a family pull together like this. Blessings to you all. And my God provide just the right property to fit all of your needs! Love you guys!
I am so excited for all of you!!! I am looking forward to the new adventure. Also, I can’t wait to see the kitchen done. I totally can relate right now with a parent having to move in with us and having to build onto our home. ❤ Thanks for taking us along. My prayers are with you all.
It makes complete sense. The house is beautiful but too small. Being with the kids is 100% where your heart is! Can’t wait to see this journey!
I hope you do a bunch of decluttering videos! I love those! ❤
I, for one, am super excited for you! I love all the fun and exciting Knorpp adventures! 😃
🏘I'm VERY FOR many MORE renovating, moving & decorating videos!!!! How exciting. You look to get good Bang for your buck in Virginia.
Looked & a 4200 sq ft. 5 BD + 3 BATHS in South Boston, VA is only $289,900 on Irish Street!!! WOW, so charming
Good luck & best wishes, I'm hoping it all works out, family is everything!!!🏡
I’m so excited another chapter in the Knorpp to South adventures. Can’t wait to see it all coming together. Best wishes for your family.
Good morning! All the best in your new adventures. I totally understand your reasons...we are facing the same situation in the distant future. It's the people not the material thing and you all understand that! Looking forward to the next chapter!❤
Keepin' it exciting! I love you guys. Prayers always as you serve God, your family, and others around you. ❤
🙏🏻 everything moves quickly and smoothly for you all.
I'm 😮 I'm feeling a range of emotions about this one. Like your dream home and you haven't fully gotten to enjoy it. Now I feel so bad Mike working tirelessly through the nights to make your dreams come true and I feel like it was for nothing. I get it family first but this hurt the most.
This is absolutely wonderful! The freedom you and your families have. My husband and I have dreamed of picking up and moving, jobs and finances keep us here.
So EXCITED for all of you! It's going to be GREAT!!
I’m excited for you guys and will be praying for your health and energy to be good so you can take care of all the needed things. My family has moved so much and as stressful as it can be, it’s always exciting for change. Blessings for you all. 😊
I think all of us long-time viewers immediately knew what the major announcement was going to be. lol The real surprise is that you guys have managed to stay put for almost what, five years now? I've been wondering for some time when the wanderlust would ignite in the two of you again. Best of luck to you and your family during this transition, we're grateful and happy you're taking all of us along for the ride with you. God bless! ❤️
None of it can go with you, so live how you want. A home is always the family not the building. Peace!
Love you all and I am wishing the best for you. Will keep you in my prayers.
Wow! I didn't see this coming!!
Oh, I so understand! I've moved over 50 times in my life so far, and I'm a little bit older than y'all... I'm so excited for the next chapter in your lives!!!
OMG!! 😮Excited for your new adventure! Love how your family rolls. Can’t wait to see where you land!!
I would never think this would be happening but I'm here for it. ❤
I never saw this coming... but am so happy for the whole family..and you put your heart and soul in this house 💓💓💓
Blessings in your new adventure
Of course I wish luck and speed. I love watching where ever you live or live in.
I hope it all works out for you. God Bless.
So happy for you, and also wanna comment that you both look so beautiful. Your channel reminds me of the Holy Spirit, that is always in renewal, moving forward, like a fountain of youth. I remember your channel since the misty forest walks years ago. You inspire to become a better person, stronger, bold, shine, always to grow in hope. With a strong family values and sharing the fruits. Thanks a lot for your testimony of life. Hugs from Spain.
God bless you Knorpps! Excited to see what happens next!
I just love your channel and have enjoyed seeing the amazing transformation. I am sad to not see you get to live in and enjoy your creation for very long but I think it is amazing that you are going to support Megan’s parents and I am just really excited to see where this new path takes you!! 🎉❤
its a must that you guys bring that beautiful farm sink and your stoves!!! I demand to see the same sink in your new house 😇 good luck and hope moving goes smoothly
Excited For and Proud Of You and your family - as you've chosen Higher Purpose over material. The experience of having challenged yourselves with this build will serve you well in all future decisions. Hang in there!!! Your subscribers SUPPORT you. Sending much Love + Light. =V
Saw the title and knew the news. Praying for all of you and looking forward to following along. 💕
Proud of you guys!! Not many people are as flexible as you are. Lots of prayers for all the moving pieces to work smoothly and for your parents health.
good luck! looking forward to when you decorate the next house haha! ❤
I'm so excited for you guys!! I love your faith to leap. You guys are the coolest!
My friend and her husband spent about $200K renovating an old farmhouse; careful to preserve all the quaint and historic parts to it. He died a few years later and she sold it and downsized. The new owners tore it all down to build something modern. She was heartbroken, but it was out of her control.
Good for you!
I wasn’t surprised because I’ve come to know that this is just the Knorpps . God will be with you in all . This season is in a very interesting place we are right there with you. We have one daughter that’s a junior in college , one daughter getting married this fall to her childhood sweetheart ( still trying to wrap my head around that one while figuring out how to plan a beautiful day on a budget ) and then our caboose growing up and starting high school next year . We just have to embrace these seasons . I know the Lord is in all of this .
Challenges are part of living a life whether alone or with a large family! That is life: CHANGE! Being a longtime viewer and feeling so much a part of your sweet family, I have confidence in you and your abilities to carry this new adventure with success! I could sense your anxiety to accomplish your new goals as quickly as needed for your parents as well as your children. Go Knorpps!
You have learned so much and have done an amazing job. Your honesty and willingness to listen and learn is the best example and gift, really to anyone, that you can figure it out and accomplish anything you set your mind to! So much respect for your humble hearts. Thank you
Aloha, Your doing the right thing for your children and parents. My husband and I took care of his parents, it was the best thing for all of us. Especially having take care of parents who have health challenges. My husband's Father has now passed, but it was great we had a chance with him. You two worked really hard on your place, but I am happy for your new journey, Virginia sounds wonderful.
Oh my, great adventure, just sorry for all mike and your hard work on this house. God bless you all with safety and quick finds of a new house.
Your house is so cute! I hope the people who buy it will treasure it.
