This weekend, Lawson, Carlin, Tori, and Bobby are in the Nashville area visiting Evan. Next month, Tori and Bobby will relocate to a nearby town so Bobby can begin working at Bible Baptist Church.

Sweet!! Looks like Tori is expecting!! :)
ReplyDeletePlease don’t speculate!!! I’ve had people ask me as well and it’s disheartening because I am not. Please leave your speculations to yourself.
DeleteI'm with anonymous at 3:43. In one week I was asked twice if I was pregnant. No, I was just bloated and fat. Unless someone tells you, please don't ask. I've been trying to lose weight and it's disheartening to hear comments. And if someone wants children but can't have any? I imagine thats rough. I can't have any but I don't want any either.
DeleteTotally agree!
DeletePlease don’t make comments like that. If she’s not pregnant you’re basically calling her fat.
DeleteI think she is also! (; (:
Delete9:59, there is not one thing about Tori that would make her look to be expecting. You are simply trying to gain the wrong kind of attention by getting "a rise" out of people. Just stick to speaking facts only.
DeleteNot sure who gave this reply but it would be a blessing not intended as rude. The bowling ball hiding tummy an indicator of what you cannot see, you cannot know.
DeleteWhat malicious rubbish! Ellie...why would you post that comment? Whether she is or isn't, this photo could not remotely begin to suggest that one way or the other. This is how gossip is perpetuated and very sad it begins on a blog which is supposed to be a fan blog of a christian family. Save those comments for the online secular rag blogs. You should be ashamed for even posting that!!!!
DeleteNO - it does not.
DeleteHope Tori doesn't read this blog! I would hate to have people saying I looked pregnant if I weren't.
DeleteAnon. 12:46, calm down. It was a silly comment, but certainly not the worst. It was nothing profane. Calm down.
Delete11:46- It's not a blessing if the person isn't pregnant. I've never understood the need for anyone to declare or ask the pregnancy status of someone else. The news will get out sooner or later if there's a baby on the way.
DeleteShe does not look pregnant !! All of you who hope she is, give her a break!! Personally I wish all these newlyweds could hold off for awhile before having kids. Like Jinger & Jeremy did. I’m not saying years but some months at least.
DeleteWe ladies who are mommas know IF you are trying to hide an early pregnancy, you would be holding the ball a bit lower.
DeleteIt's just a sweet pic they are sharing :)
Let's calm down, it's not that big a deal, or unexpected, especially in this family. I think a lot of secular folks post on this and the Duggar blog @12:46
DeleteI had someone ask me if I was pregnant and it was because I had gained weight (embarassing)...I feel like that is one of the rudest things to say to someone.
DeleteWe live in a small town just north of Nashville and we welcome you. It’s a lovely city. I hope you feel welcome.
ReplyDeleteI thought Bible Baptist Church was the name of the church Gil pastors where they live?
ReplyDeleteIt is, but it also happens to be the name of the church that Bobby and Tori will be working at.
DeleteHave a blessed day,
Lily and Ellie
When does Tori graduate?
ReplyDeleteI’m pretty sure she already did and is now teaching.
DeleteTori has been student teaching this semester. She graduates in early May and moves to Nashville soon after.
DeleteLily and Ellie
We should never assume about them or their lives...they share enough with us fans and we should be grateful for that.They are both from wonderful families and we should respect their privacy. congratulations Tori & Bobby!! You all look great, so happy for both couples. ��
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another engagement!
ReplyDeleteYou're bowling, guys. You can wear a T-shirt. Those button down shirts look really uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteAnd the girls are in skirts
DeleteI don’t even know how you can do a (proper) bowl throw with a skirt on
My husband wears a button down shirt almost everywhere he goes. It’s just his style and what he prefers.
DeleteI've bowled lots of times in a skirt. I think it would only be a problem if the skirt were really tight.
DeleteYou can easily bowl with a skirt on; really it's not even that hard (as long as you don't wear a pencil skirt or something). When I was a teenager I beat adult men in bowling competitions, and I was wearing a skirt.
Delete6:01...have you ever heard of bowling shirts? They button. Not everyone wears T-shirts...Also, when I was growing up, all women's sports were performed in skirts or cullotes.
DeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so happy! Tori, marriage suits you! 😍😍
ReplyDeleteWill they be moving to Hendersonville, TN where Bible Baptist Church is? My son's girlfriend is a teacher for Nashville Public Schools. She just bought a house in Hendersonville and says it's a wonderful community.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is where BBC is. We saw them yesterday at church and my husband asked me, "Do you think she is pregnant?" We had both agreed that it looks like she is, but no one will know for sure for a while yet. They didn't announce it publicly.
DeleteAwww. . . So glad the sisters get to spend time together!
ReplyDeleteI love watching this family on Tv. I would love to meet them sometime..
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering how far away from her parents the town is that Tori will be moving to? Thanks.
Hi Sara,
DeleteIt's about 3 hours from Knoxville.
Have a blessed day,
Ellie
Nice they're spending time together & nice pic
