Tessa (2:38)

I packed pretty light. I actually did. You'll see. The bag says heavy. Everything I have is heavy.

Braxton (2:43)

In what?

Tessa (2:46)

This is so nice you got these for me?

Braxton (2:48)

I got those for you.

Tessa (2:49)

Thank you. First, slumber at Braxton's house. I have my Texan skier on. So tomorrow, Braxton has an off day, which is great, because that's the only one that he has. The whole time I'm here every other day. He's probably going to be gone from, like, 6am until 6pm but you gotta take what we can get, right, Braxton?

Braxton (3:08)

Good attitude, babe.

Tessa (3:10)

What did you miss most about me?

Braxton (3:12)

What did you miss most about me? Let's hear that. Wow, you really had that tip of your tongue, huh?

Tessa (3:19)

No, I'm thinking of a really good answer. What I miss most about, like, being with you physically, in person.

Braxton (3:27)

You're really stalling over there, huh?

Tessa (3:29)

Braxton. Wait a second. I was gonna say, like, waking up with you.

Braxton (3:33)

Yeah, that was gonna be one of mine for sure.

Tessa (3:35)

Was it not good enough?

Braxton (3:36)

No, I was saying that was gonna be one of mine.

Tessa (3:38)

I never drink water. I, like, realized yesterday I had a massive headache and I was like, why?

Braxton (3:42)

It's the worst thing that you do?

Tessa (3:43)

Because I've gone two days without drinking any water. Oh. All right. Good night, Vlog. See you in the morning. Hello, Gimbal day. One off day. I'm going to do hot Pilates. We're gonna go to La La Land first and get some delicious coffee. And then we're gonna hang out with Baby. So excited. I really don't wanna work out right now. But you know what? Sometimes you gotta do things you don't wanna do. La La In. Up. Cheers.

Braxton (4:20)

Any help? It's not chipping out at 2.

Tessa (4:25)

Well, let's not crash into someone, huh?

Braxton (4:27)

Relax. That wasn't my fault.

Tessa (4:30)

Okay? Dropping my kid off at work. I mean, at school. At work.

Braxton (4:35)

At work.

Tessa (4:36)

At work. Wow, this is so cool. Each town. This is so cool. I like the stadium. Okay, have a good day. Well, a good hour. I'll be back to pick you up if I can figure this out. How to get back in here. I sit as close to the steering wheel as humanly possible and my head is on the ceiling. Love you. Have fun. Holy. That was so hot. I thought I was gonna die and pass out the whole time. I'm so happy that's over, but it was a really good workout. I'm actually soaking wet getting in Braxton's car. So sorry, Braxton. And my hair. I, like, blew it out yesterday. I mean, seriously, have you guys ever seen my face this red? I'm matching the seats. All right, time to pick Braxton up. Braxton's Freaking out about. I go, what is Heb? Cause I'm trying to look where we can get hot dogs. Cause I was like, we should lay out and grill hot dogs today.

Braxton (5:29)

I was the biggest public guy.

Tessa (5:30)

He was more in love with this thing than me.

Braxton (5:31)

I was the biggest publix guy in the world. But Heb is a different world.

Tessa (5:35)

Is it just Texas?

Braxton (5:36)

I think it is just Texas. It could be somewhere else now, but.

Tessa (5:39)

I like the hot dogs that are, like, longer. Like, I don't like the ones that are long dogs. Yeah, I like those ones, like a foot long dog.

Braxton (5:47)

You know what Hev stands for?

Tessa (5:50)

Is it something I would be able to guess?

Braxton (5:51)

No. No. Shot. Oh, no, it's not here.

Tessa (5:54)

Here. Like H E R e. Yeah. H E R e here ever.

Braxton (6:00)

No, but close even. No.

Tessa (6:02)

Here. Everywhere.

Braxton (6:04)

Closer.

Tessa (6:05)

Here.

Braxton (6:06)

I'm afraid we're not gonna get.

Tessa (6:08)

You said it. Close. Closer.

Braxton (6:10)

You are.

Tessa (6:11)

Here, Everything.

Braxton (6:12)

There you go.

Tessa (6:13)

Delicious. Oh, Jesus. Here. Everything better.

Braxton (6:18)

Here. Everything's better.

Tessa (6:20)

Here. Everything's better. You can never get that. You're gonna run these people over. Do you know that?

Braxton (6:28)

I didn't. They're happily walking in front of me now.

Tessa (6:31)

Braxton. Seriously, I saw her.

Braxton (6:33)

I mean, you were. They're gonna think that I. Guys, I've never had a ticket. Never been in an accident, Knock on wood.

Tessa (6:38)

You've never had a ticket?

Braxton (6:39)

No, never in my life.

Tessa (6:41)

That's not true.

Braxton (6:43)

So you call me a liar with.

Tessa (6:45)

No factual basing ticket.

Braxton (6:46)

No, that doesn't count as a ticket. You've never got a speeding ticket? A movie?

Tessa (6:50)

Pulled over.

Braxton (6:51)

I've gone pulled over.

Tessa (6:52)

Then how'd you get out of your tickets? Yeah, because. Probably because you play football. So then how'd you get out of it?

Braxton (6:57)

I just talked.

Tessa (6:59)

Okay, well, you're nice, so that's different. Just me and you. Just you and me in Texas. We're going to the market. Well, you. You made me.

Braxton (7:11)

I got you nervous.

Tessa (7:12)

All right. Braxton's favorite place.

Braxton (7:14)

Here we are.

Tessa (7:15)

I need stuff over here. I'm making a salad. I need butter, lettuce and lemon and olive oil and garlic. I have never seen this in my entire life. That is wild. Enjoy your ride. I mean, literally. Feels like we're at Universal.

Braxton (7:32)

I wish.

Tessa (7:34)

Just a little. Yeah. Well, I'm excited to see you. We'll have fun and happy. I'll have someone to be with me.

Braxton (7:44)

Chat.

Tessa (7:44)

Braxton's gone. All right. Well, looking forward to seeing you. You too. I'm back.

Braxton (7:49)

Love you, mama. I'm. I'm getting These burgers off the grill.

Tessa (7:52)

Okay, Love you too. Y' all have a good night.

Braxton (7:54)

All right. You too, mom.

Tessa (7:55)

Bye, sweetie.

Braxton (7:56)

Bye.

Tessa (7:57)

You're a grill master.

Braxton (7:58)

Now the time.

Tessa (8:01)

All right, let's see. My bacon's probably on instantly. What if on intuition, I killed it?

Braxton (8:13)

Killed it.

Tessa (8:14)

Well, we had really great plans to go out to dinner, but we decided that we would rather order in food and watch a movie or start a show. Right? We were just having so much fun together. Why are you laughing?

Braxton (8:25)

Because you were yelling at me.

Tessa (8:26)

I was yelling a second ago. Cuz I'm hot.

Braxton (8:28)

Exactly.

Tessa (8:29)

I've actually been a treat all day.

Braxton (8:31)

You've been superb to be around what.

Tessa (8:33)

We'Ve been doing in this vlog. Today, sitting in this kitchen and eating food. Tomorrow I'll show you guys more. Ooh, wonton. I love soup. We're gonna set up the bed so we can watch We Were Liars and eat our food in here because the WI fi wasn't working downstairs.

Braxton (8:54)

So can you please tell them for the record, I do not like to eat in bed.

Tessa (8:58)

Roxy, you loved when I said this idea.

Braxton (9:00)

I love the idea, but I hate the idea behind.

Tessa (9:03)

Okay, but you like doing it. So he likes eating in bed. I mean. No, I love eating in bed. I don't know if I've ever told you guys. When I was in high school, there would be times when, like, there was, like, cheez its under my pillow. Like, I would hide snacks in my bed. My bed was, like, my safe space. Because when I had really, really bad anxiety, I would come home from school, and, like, the first place I would go is my bed. And I would take my laptop, and then I would take, like, five dishes of food because I. I always had anxiety that, like, if I didn't eat enough food, I would pass out. So I just always had food and snacks and, like, protein bars in my bed. Rise and shine. Good morning. Okay, so Braxton is at football. I have to make a coffee because I have meetings that'll go until, like, 5pm Starting in 15 minutes. That does not leave me enough time to go get a coffee. Okay. Think I can do this? I have no idea how much to use, so I'm just gonna eyeball it. Bro, let's hope this tastes good. Date night. Except I'm the only one drinking one. Nothing to say?

Braxton (10:12)

No, I'm excited.

Tessa (10:13)

I'm so hungry. This is the best sushi.

Braxton (10:15)

And order the scallop. Two of those. Four Otto, four salmon. Four salmon, two scallop leaves. Two scallopies. You don't want to shrimp, right? Okay, I'm gonna do the shirt.

Tessa (10:27)

I feel like I can move my eyebrows.

Braxton (10:29)

Cool. We're gonna do two of the wagyu. So all of those cheers.

Tessa (10:45)

I was gonna wait, but I couldn't. It's seriously so good. So these you inject. This is what they do to my face. Our waiter said that you can eat the head of the shrimp. Croxton won't do it if I take a bite. You take a bite. No, no.

Braxton (11:09)

He said the best part is the.

Tessa (11:11)

Ones he said right there. I'm not gonna puke. I'm not biting one in Houston. Oh, wait, that's actually delicious. I'm not. I'm not kidding. We're actually trying to try it. Honestly, the best chip I've ever had in my life. Got some fingers left in there.

Braxton (11:31)

Ready? Ready.

Tessa (11:33)

It was really good.

Braxton (11:34)

It's actually really good.

Tessa (11:38)

All right. We're going to Braxton's practice today. I've never done this before, so I'm very excited. It's gonna be hot outside, so I'm wearing some, like, workout gear today. I just pick up the goddamn key. Guess where it went. Are you kidding me? Like, seriously now my coffee is ruined and my key is soaked. I'm not even sure how one does these things. Do you think the coffee is still fine to have? Cuz I really want it. That's probably gross, right? I mean, seriously, this is ridiculous. I dropped it and I go, there's no. I hear a plop, I go, there's no way. I'm trying to salvage the coffee, but I don't know if I can. Ew. Now I'm, like, scraping around. Okay, scale of 1 to 10, how gross is it to drink the coffee? Wait, now I'm scared. We got our pass. I'm scared. I don't know anyone. So that is their stadium. And then practice is over here. Food, drinks, and everything's up here. And then I think I'm gonna walk around to the other side because it'll be closer. Don't know where I'm going, but we'll figure it out. It's so hot. I'm literally dripping sweat down my back. Yay. Look at you. You look so cute.

Braxton (12:46)

Thank you. Like this hat.

Tessa (12:58)

Who's excited for dinner? Braxton made that. And I've done all of this.

Braxton (13:06)

Whoa, relax.

Tessa (13:10)

I think we killed it.

Braxton (13:11)

I think we did.

Tessa (13:12)

We isn't me.

Braxton (13:13)

Excuse you.

Tessa (13:14)

Your sous chef. Oh, I know. That's gonna be good.

Braxton (13:22)

Looks good. Where'd you get that glass. Okay.

Tessa (13:27)

That changed my life. Try. It's like, seriously, like, glacier Poppy.

Braxton (13:32)

It's a good orange soda.

Tessa (13:33)

Well, now it's time to watch We Were Liars. I'm really scared because I'm kidding. Telling me the end of the show is crazy, and then I'm gonna cry. I have Braxton hooked on it. Episode four. Here we go. No memory of what or who hurt me. So Braxton has these little rehab. Actually, I have no idea what they are.

Braxton (13:49)

Yeah, I was about to say. Please tell the class. Go ahead.

Tessa (13:52)

There are these things he puts on his leg for stimulating blood flow, and they make his feet twitch. Look, it's so freaky. You're not moving your foot. That just happens. Yeah. Okay. My left leg keeps going numb sometimes, so I think I need one. I want to be a part of this. Is it gonna hurt?

Braxton (14:09)

No, it's not gonna hurt.

Tessa (14:10)

You're getting uncovered. I'm scared. If it hurts, how quickly can you take it off?

Braxton (14:14)

Very. But it's not gonna hurt. I just want to make sure I get in the right, exact right place.

Tessa (14:18)

Are you cooking something in the oven?

Braxton (14:20)

Cookies. In a second.

Tessa (14:22)

Why did you put cookies in the oven?

Braxton (14:24)

They're not in there yet. I gotta preheat it.

Tessa (14:26)

Oh, cheeky. That does hurt. What are you doing to me? Cookie time. This is so freaky. What's going on with this camera? What's going on with this camera? My gimbal's going crazy. Don't look at my bunions. Okay. Ow. Cheeky. This hurts.

Braxton (14:48)

Do you want to take it off? What? What is. What is wrong with you?

Tessa (14:52)

It feels really weird.

Braxton (14:54)

It does feel weird. You just gotta lean into it.

Tessa (14:57)

I'm not moving my foot at all. Aww. Look at the two of us. I mean, this is what life is all about. It's like we're training for when we're like grandma and grandpas. We could just sit on the couch in our recliners all day.

Braxton (15:08)

Oh, my nerves.

Tessa (15:12)

We're even wearing the same thing.

Braxton (15:13)

We are. Look at us.

Tessa (15:14)

We're spending too much time together. Bright and Early, 8am we're going to see Braxton's practice today. I'm going with his mom. So. So we're gonna go see him catch that ball. He killed it.

Braxton (15:26)

Thank you.

Tessa (15:27)

I'm on a call right now, so I'm, like, half taking a meeting, half talking to Braxton. I love a good merch shop. Do you guys think I could rock these around?

Braxton (15:42)

Appreciate it.

Tessa (15:43)

Feel like I'm on a shirt. Oh, this Is cool. I like this shirt, like as a big shirt. That's cool. Cute. These are crazy. It's like Taylor Swift. Uhhuh. See, I always like the baby shirts cuz I'm like, this would be a cute little crop top. So I usually shop in the children's section. That's cute. He's home. He's home. He's back. This is our, our last night together. I'll be here another night, but I have to sleep alone cuz Braxton's sleeping in a hotel. That's so brutal of you.

Braxton (16:12)

You know, it's not much choice.

Tessa (16:14)

Yes. Just cracked my back. Going out to dinner tonight and then we're gonna have game day and we're gonna finish We Were Liars tonight. So maybe I'll be crying.

Braxton (16:22)

Oh God.

Tessa (16:23)

I feel like I need to show some Houston things in this vlog. All I've been doing really is sitting in here. What could I show everyone? Maybe I'll take you guys on a walk. Maybe I'll route you guys right to where Braxton's house is. So Braxton's got two touchdowns today practice, which was so exciting to see. See, I just can't believe you're out there with all those big fellas. I can't believe you just don't get crunched like a soda can.

Braxton (16:46)

I work out.

Tessa (16:48)

It really is scary watching your significant other out there. It's just like everything you guys do is just so much physical contact. It's scary. So as much fun as it is, I'm also like sitting there like clenching my hands the entire time. But I'm excited for the first game. Well, actually it's not the first game. It's just the first game I'm going to. And it's not a real one because it's. It's preseason. But whatever feels real feels real to me too. Fit. Check.

Braxton (17:12)

There you are. Boom.

Tessa (17:14)

It matches.

Braxton (17:17)

It goes together. Oh, check a pose. Oh goodness. And we've lost her.

Tessa (17:25)

Good morning. Just going to get my morning coffee. I'm really starting to like my little Houston room routine here. I'm going to La La Land to get this coffee. Coffee reveal. This place is great. And honestly, we've gotten a lot of good recommendations in Houston so far. When you move to a new city, it takes a minute to kind of like find your groove. A lot of trial and error. Thankfully we've had a lot of great, like friends or a lot of you guys. I just keep posting and being like, where in Houston should we go? And everyone has been has been so kind and generous with offering their suggestions. One of you guys gave me a list of restaurant recommendations and I literally just took a picture of it. And like everyone has been so nice and helping us, you know, get settled here. And I've been really grateful to have that support system. But I also think something really, really great for this is Bumble bff and they can help you get situated in a new city. Find friends, find things to do, find common activities or places that you're going to like with other people. People. I mean, I had a night this week, just a girls night in with all new girls that I met basically besides one. And it was so fun. I love meeting new people and it's never too late to make new friends. Bumble for Friends is definitely a great app. If you just moved and you want to find new friends, new routine, new community, I would recommend it. I've had a lot of friends that have used it as well. So that's my little TED talk for the day. Try out some Bumble for Friends. If you're in a new city, it can definitely be a little overwhelming when you first get somewhere, but I think it can be manageable. Cheers. Game day. Yo, the stadium's so nice. Good morning. Everyone here is so nice. They really are. It shocks me, we're like the first people here. Jackson's family is very on time, which is something I'm not used to, but this is actually pretty nice. No, there's like five other people here. Game day, here we come. Game day. This is a lot nicer than Miami. The friends and family section is up here and there's AC in the stadium. It's covered. I'm liking it. Cheers. Woo. Wait guys, is yours on? Mine's really good. Mine's really good. Boots. Boots. Our margaritas are clear cuz they are just tequila I think. Yeah, yours is a little more like it. We're food. You're matching the the grill. I'm going. Get out. I'm the halftime for. We're going to need three blue margarita tequilas. I got a bacon sausage dog, buffalo wings, birria fries and oh, cheesesteak. Three blue margaritas. Guys, I have a flight in four hours and I don't think I'm making it. This is only one of mine. We got many moments coming. Well, they're hazing me so. This is not my fault. I'm being hazed. I don't know. This is my initiation. I didn't sign up for this. I like it here. Yeah, we needed you make new friends. Buffalo. No problem. I love Texas. Look at this man's injuries. I can't turn this camera around anymore. Like, this is so scary. And it's just like, oh, no big deal. Whatever.

Braxton (20:56)

Occupational hazard.

Tessa (20:57)

I have to be at the airport in an hour and a half.

Braxton (20:59)

That's easy, though. We'll get you there.

Tessa (21:02)

Or do I stay?

Braxton (21:03)

You know I want to.

Tessa (21:05)

Do I stay? Tiki, I think the smart thing to do would be to leave, but we could also have a night together. Sleep together one more night.

Braxton (21:15)

In favor?

Tessa (21:16)

You want me to stay?

Braxton (21:17)

Of course I want you to stay. You know that's not a question. Can you stay? Is the question.

Tessa (21:22)

Oh, gee, Dee. Well, I did get hazed at the football game, so maybe I should stay.

Braxton (21:29)

Boom. There it is.

Tessa (21:31)

I love you.
