So I've been pretty much obsessed with the TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting. They are the Duggars and they live in Arkansas. You could say that I watch it all day long. I have it on on my ipod that is hooked up to a speaker in my kitchen so I listen to episodes while I cook, eat with Rhys and so on. I dunno what it is about this show but I love watching them just live their lives! All of their kids' names start with the letter J and they have 9 girls and 10 boys! They are: Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jessa, Jill, Jennifer, Josie, Jordyn, James, Jason, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jinger, Justin, Jackson, Josiah, Johannah, Joy-Anna, and Joseph! Whew!! The statistics worked out correctly in the long run! haha. They are a very religious family with very conservative values. Some of their values I don't think I could stick to or have our family stick to like the idea of courtship where instead of dating, you ask permission from the girl's parents and you basically court the girl you want to marry. You also can't kiss until you are married. I respect their values and they seem to have what it takes to keep a beautiful family and marriage together so they must be doing something right.
There is such a thing called "Duggar time" where they always have to tack on at least 30 mins to an hour when they are getting ready to leave to go somewhere. Since there are so many people, it's just too hard to get everyone out the door on time. I love it that they call it Duggar time. hehe. I would like to have a big family and have the home be bustling with people...but at the same time it is a lot of work. So I think I'll just live vicariously through the Duggars.
