Maya's Q&A
Maya looked at the view finder, fixing her loose side braid. "Just so you know I'm going to start filming so anything you do will be on camera if you come into it's view," she smirked at her husband, still messing with her braid but glancing over at him as he sat at his part of the desk while she had her setup in the living room.
"Alright," he chuckled, glancing over at her.
She gave him a quick smile, pushing record before clearing her throat and speaking, "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel with a little different view. You guys, today I'm a little under the weather and on some antibiotics but I still wanted to film and I thought I would do one of my favorite videos and I know it's one of yours too because you guys have been asking me to do one so I asked you to send me some questions on my Instagram and today is the day I finally answer some of the questions so let's get right to it-oh wait before we do my hubby is home so you might see him in the background so ignore him unless we can pull him into the video then don't. Now let's get right to it," she said, before looking down at her phone.
"The first question come from Emily Meminger and she said meeting my boyfriend's parents for the first time was awkward. What was it like for you meeting Josh's parents? Hmm," Maya began, popping her lips together as she tried to remember the first time she met Josh's parents. "Well I met Josh's parents way before we started dating so it wasn't awkward when I met them because we weren't together and I was still a kid and just Riley's best friend. I think I was like eight or nine the very first time I met them. But," she held up her pointer finger. "Seeing them for the first time as Josh's girlfriend and especially as his wife was nerve wrecking. I've never been more nervous in my entire life than I was when I saw his mom for the first time after we got married," she admitted. "Josh is a Mama's boy," she laughed, looking over at her husband who mouthed a thanks with a playful eye roll. "And it's no secret Josh and I eloped and our parents weren't there-and nor did they know we were even getting married because we didn't have an engagement or anything like that. We decided to get married and then we got married. Luckily both of us have amazing parents who supported our decision once the shock wore off. So, meeting them for the very first time was like whatever but seeing them as his wife for the first time was nerve wrecking."
"The next question comes from Princess_sized, what kind of relationship do you have with Penny?"
Maya's eyes lit up at the mention of her God daughter. "Aww, Penny is my pride and joy even though she isn't my child," she laughed. "She is the closest thing that I have to a child right now and I love that little girl to death and I know you guys love seeing her too. I wish I could just show her off and have her in every single one of my videos or Instagram posts but she isn't my child and I have to be a protective aunt and be respectful and not have her in tons of my videos or posting pictures with her on my Instagram because unfortunately there is crazy people out there who don't understand boundaries and I hate giving the trolls anymore attention but they are also there leaving mean comments about an innocent child and that just sends me through the roof but I can't put into words how much I love my little Penny and add on I now have a God son who was just born into the world a little over two weeks ago who I adore just as much and I already love him to death. I just came back from visiting them and I already miss them so much."
She also asked "How do you and your friends all stay so close with your own lives being so busy?" Maya read, swallowing. "It's not easy," she admitted, playing with the end of her braid. "Right now, we all aren't in the same city anymore so one thing we do is we make sure to plan gatherings and not just for holidays and we also check in with each other which is huge. I think communication and keeping in contact is key to staying close with friends especially as you get older and you start to have your own lives and you're not seeing each other every day in school. You get so caught up with what is happening in your own little world so it is easy to forget or push aside people who aren't in your little world on an everyday basics so you have to pull them back and the best way to do that is to communicate with each other. I think that is a huge reason we are all still so close."
Maya looked over at her husband as he stood up.
"I'm going to make a snack, do you want anything?" he asked, walking towards her.
"Will you make me a hot green tea with lemon?"
Josh nodded, pressing a kiss on the top of head before he walked over to the kitchen.
She smiled, gratefully at him before looking back in the camera adjusting in her seat.
"This comes from It's Alli and she asks do you have a favorite piece of art that you have done and what is the meaning behind it? I do," she answered, excitedly. "I actually have two that pop into my head right away. One of them is a painting I did of my best friend's childhood bedroom and there is this specific detail on there that most people would overlook but for me its huge and it is the bay windows on the painting are locked. It's not because like our friendship is over or anything because obviously Riley is still my best friend but the meaning behind it is that chapter of our lives is closed and we are on to the next. We are no longer kids or teenagers but I would never give up the years and memories we shared there and looking at the painting brings back all of these amazing memories we shared and I pray one day if I have daughter or even a son they have a special place like that with their best friend. Another piece I love is right after Josh and I got married I was sitting up in bed and couldn't sleep and I had my sketch book and Josh had already fell asleep and his arm was wrapped around my waist and I sketched his hand and I just remember getting this warm feeling through my entire body as I sketch his wedding band on his finger. It was one of the first moments where it really sunk in that we were married and every time I look at the sketch I still get the same warm feeling. So yeah, those are my favorites."
Maya looked down at her phone, reading the next question.
"Okay, Nicole asked what is your favorite thing to do with Josh? Umm, It's hard to pick just one thing. I love when we go to central park and we people watch and make up stories about them," she laughed. "I know it's a little weird but I also love walking around the city together or when we cook dinner together or even just grab tacos or something and cuddle up on the couch while eating and watching a movie or binge watching one of our favorite t.v. shows-oh! I also love taking naps with him. There is something about an afternoon nap. I know this sounds really cheesy but he brings it out of me but I just love being all wrapped up in his arms. It's honestly my favorite place in the world. It's where I feel the most comfortable and safest so afternoon naps are the best."
"The next question comes from Smile4Becca, if you were to go back to school, what would you major in? I majored in art so I would probably major in art again or maybe something with marketing and social media."
"CaseyH says you have a beauty singing voice do you think you'll ever make music?" she read before looking up at the camera. "Why thank you, but I don't know. I have no plans but never say never," she answered, before looking for another question to answer.
"HeatherLee asked how did you and Josh meet? I kind of touched on this, we met through my best friend Riley. He is her uncle and we met for the first time at one of their family gatherings when I was like eight and then we didn't see each other for a long time and he came for Christmas when I was thirteen and I knew right then and there I was going to marry him. I told Riley I was going to become her aunt and guess what? I was right!"
Maya smiled at her husband as he walked over with her cup of tea. "Thank babe."
She took a sip of her tea as she watched him walk back in the kitchen before going to the next questions.
"This comes from Chelsea and she asked where do you see yourself in five years?" Maya bit her lip as she thought about her future, "Where do I see myself in five years?" she repeated the question. "It would be amazing if I'm still doing YouTube and if not I hope whatever I'm doing I love it as much as I love doing this. Josh and I have been talking about if we want to stay in the city or not so hopefully we are happy with whatever decision we come to on that. So, yeah. I know that's not much but I just want to be as happy as I am now in five years."
"This comes from Star_247 and she says I know you have a great relationship with your mother and step-father but what about your real father?" Maya read, biting her lip. She glanced over in Josh's direction who gave her a reassuring smile before she looked back into the camera. "She also asked if Josh and I are planning on babies and will there be any chance of twins if we do," she chuckled at the last questions before taking in a deep breath. "Without getting into too much details and maybe one day I'll do a sit down video and talk about this more in depth, but I haven't had a relationship with my biological father since I was a young child. I've only seen him like twice since since then. He is remarried and has children with his wife and I hope they all are happy but I have nothing to do with any of them and I don't think I ever will. My step-father isn't just my step-dad but he also adopted me so he is my father and he is the only father I need."
Maya took in another deep breath before reading the next question. "How is your relationship with your in-laws? It's great. They don't live in the same city as us but we make sure to visit them and they visit us."
"SoCarly asks does it annoy Josh when you are doing YouTube videos or vlogging?" she read the question. "Let's ask him. Babe?" she turned away from the camera to look back towards the kitchen.
"Yeah?"
"Does it annoy you when I pull out the camera and record you?" she asked, turning back towards the camera, grinning and biting her lip, pretending to wince as she waited for his answer.
"No."
"No, it doesn't," she smiled into the camera while shaking her head. "I think because I'm not a daily vlogger and as much I love recording vlogs I don't ever plan on becoming one so there is so much of our lives you don't get to see and I'm not pulling out the camera. I also can tell when Josh doesn't want me to vlog or doesn't feel like being on camera or wants to keep something between us just between us. I try to really balance it. When it comes to filming a video I normally film when he isn't here but if I do, you just get to see him hanging out in the background if he's not off hiding but sometimes he is the one helping me set up and film."
"Okay, HellaSkye asks What is a typical day in yours and Josh's life look like after the cameras are off and are you guys going to have kids soon?"
Maya looked up from her phone to answer, "Believe it or not, Josh and I are just a normal young married couple. I know, crazy!" she sung the last word. "But yeah, we don't do anything too out there that isn't what a normal young married couple would do who is still trying to figure out the world together. My job is not a normal job and thankfully it isn't because Josh has a crazy schedule with him being in school and working so I feel blessed YouTube is my job because I get to plan my work hours around his schedules to make sure we still have time for each other. So, a typical day, would be me home filming or editing while he is at work or school or studying and then when he comes home and he doesn't have to study then we just love spending time together whether it's a date night out or we are at home cooking dinner together and watching a television show or just talking. We always make sure to check in with each other. Remember communication is key and that is not only for friendships but that goes for relationships too. At least once a week we go to either my parents or my brother and sister-in-laws for dinner. So, yeah, our typical days aren't too crazy, but just filled with everyday life."
Maya looked over at her husband as he walked out of the kitchen, taking a sip of her tea.
"What did you make?" she asked, looking at his plate.
"A sandwich, apples slices and bananas with peanut butter. Wanna bite?" he teased, holding his sandwich up to her face.
"No," she laughed, swatting his hand away as he continued back to the desk.
"You do need to eat," he told her once he got back comfortable at the desk.
"I know. I will after I finish filming."
She took another sip of her tea before going back to answering questions.
"This question comes from Livi Jade and she asks who knows you better Josh or Riley?" Maya laughed as she read the question causing Josh to snicker, "Livi are you trying to cause trouble, and she also asks when are you and Josh going to have babies?" she continued, laughing. "Hmm, oh my gosh," she exclaimed, biting her lip. "I guess it honestly depends. Riley is my best friend and knows me in and out but Josh is my husband and he is really good at reading me and plus, I share absolutely everything with him and it's even got me in trouble," she laughed. "I guess it depends. Maybe we will have to do a video and see. How does that sound?" she asked into the camera.
"Horrible," Josh answered from his side of the room.
"Well, we see how much confidence he has in himself so maybe it is Riley who knows me better," she said in a low voice. "You don't think you would win?" she raised her voice, looking over at Josh.
"It depends on the questions. If the questions are like things from when you were like ten that's all Riley but I think I can give her a run for her money on things from the time we started dating."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
Maya smiled, before going on to read the next question.
"This comes from I'mMorganNemer, and she actually asked two questions and they were how old were you when you started to date your husband? And how did he propose?" Maya read from her phone before looking up at the camera. "Hmm, I had just turned seventeen when we started to really date. Our first official date was actually on Valentine's Day and as some of you know that Josh's Birthday as well and I told him that day I was going to be his Valentine for the rest of his life and I was right," she grinned, looking over at Josh. "How did he propose? I kind of touched on this. We didn't have an engagement so I didn't have the where he got down on one knee with a ring or anything like that and before you go attacking Josh I don't mind at all. That's not me. I'm not that type of girl who needs that. I didn't need him to declare how much he loved me because I already knew and I still know because he shows it to me every single day. I'm a very lucky gal and I know that. It was very spontaneous when we decided to get married. One day, we were lying there and we were talking about our future and what we wanted and we both knew this was it. We were in it for the long game and we wanted to get married. We didn't want to wait so we decided to get married and I have no regrets. How we got married and when we got married was meant to be. It was the best day of my life. It was literally just about us and that's the way we wanted it. It wasn't about the dress, or the cake, or the colors, or who showed up and who didn't show up. It was just about us and if you asked me if I would do it all over again or have the big wedding? I would do it all over again and not have the big wedding because our wedding day was a very special day between us. I can't imagine it being any different."
She took a huge sip of her tea before continuing.
"Now, I'm going to answer one more question and it's by far the most asked question," she said, dramatically into the camera "Too many people asked it to list and I avoided answering it when it was asked in questions until now and of course it's the baby question. You guys want to know when I'm going to have a baby," she took in a deep breath, glancing up before looking back into the camera. "And I don't know," she breathed out. "Maybe we should get Josh to answer this. Josh, come here for a sec," she smiled, biting her lip as she watched her husband raise an eyebrow at her before walking over her and taking a seat next to her. "They want to know when are you going to put a baby in me?" she told him causing him to laugh.
"You asked me to come over for that?"
Maya grinned, "Yeah, so when you gonna put a baby in me?"
Josh threw his hands up speechless, "I don't know."
Maya laughed, resting a hand on Josh's upper thigh, before turning her attention back on the camera, "We're in no rush. I know we've been married for four years and it's only natural to ask when are we going to have a baby but we are still young and enjoying each other and being married."
Josh nodded in agreement as he wrapped his arm around Maya's shoulder. "Right now we are just having fun practicing so when the time comes we will be ready."
"Stop it," Maya warned. "So, yeah, no baby right now but we do plan on having children someday," she said, as Josh nodded next to her "Maybe twins," she laughed, causing Josh's eyes to go wide and him to raise his eyebrows. "We don't know we could have twins."
"That's true," Josh chuckled, kissing Maya's cheek.
"That's all the time we have for today's Q&A and I'm sorry I didn't get to everyone's questions but there was just way too many but I hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see you in my next video. Say bye."
"Bye."
"Bye," she blew a kiss and waved into the camera, smiling before turning her attention on Josh.
"That's going to be fun to edit."
Please leave me a review with your thoughts. Would like to see more Q&As? I have one with Riley coming up but would like to see one with like Katy or Josh? Let me know!
