It’s one month before Josh and Anna are getting married, and he proposed two months ago. Woah.

Wedding preparation is a lot of work, so Josh takes his sisters to the Keller home so they can do all the work for him. It took them 18 hours to drive from Arkansas to Florida.

They show up at the Keller home, a modest house much smaller than the Duggar home. The girls have coffee and Jana asks Anna if she likes coffee. Anna says, “I had it once.” Don’t tell Jinger.

The sisters are allowed to sleep in the Keller home, but Josh is relegated to the camper trailer outside. His goal is to get wedding stuff completed before he has to go back to Arkansas and run his business.

Josh says that his older sisters don’t get away from home that much. Ya know, because they’re busy raising a bunch of kids.

Back at home, things are indeed hectic. Jim Bob says sometimes they let the kids have pillow fights for fun.

Josh says that they can’t stay in Florida long because Michelle can’t manage the home without the people who actually take care of the kids.

They clean out the car they drove, and Jessa reveals that they travel with a jar of pickles. What a messy road trip snack.
