Cow appreciation Day 2016

The family love chick a flick and once a year they have cow appreciation day where people can dress up as a cow.

Recap: Israel meets Spurgeon

Derick and the group load up to head to see Jill and Israel.  This will be the first time that the cousins will meet each other and Israel gives him a lot of baby kisses.

Jill is surprised when she hold Spurgeon and later gives Jessa a tour. Jessa says that the house reminds her about how small her house is but at least she has air conditioning.
Jinger does not think that she will go across the country to meet her man.
The siblings get ready to help Jill for the ministry women's conference. The girls end up singing a song before Jill shares a message.
Jessa shares that Jill wanted to live in down in the area to help. The family describe Jill as a loving and sweet person that is always there to be positive.
The next day, the siblings load up to visit an orphanage. Jill reveals that she is currently not pregnant but she and Derick will have a natural child even through the couple wants to adopt some day.

Derick and the boys decided to hold a soccer tournament and the Central American team wins.
Both Jessa and Jill think that they will be pregnant at the same. If you remember that Jessa and Jill were pregnant together for a few weeks before Jill gave birth to Israel.
It was hard to say goodbye to the family and Jill wants to keep Spurgeon but gives him back. Derick and Jill doesn't know how the future will hold but they are taking one day at the time.

Recap: Duggars Guide to Love

The family decide that it's time to discuss the rules for their courtships.
Everyone asked what is Courtship
    * Jason: Dating with a purpose and to get to know the person and their family with marriage in mind.
    * Jinger: Not all courtships end in marriage and it's okay.
    * Jim Bob: Don't be afraid to get involved in your kids relationship.
Jim Bob and Michelle had been part of Ben and Jessa's text messages and encourage their kids to take a chaperone with them on dates so they can ensure that they stick to their courtship standards.
Anna reveals that it's not the same rules as everyone else. She hopes that they all have a goal to remain pure heart before God.
What is a chaperone?
Jordyn: A chaperone is one that watches the people that are engaged or courting couple but they don't watch married couples.
Josh, Jill and Jessa all had three months engagement periods. They have always saved their physical relationship and keep their engagement short to make sure that they stay away from temptations.
    * Joy: "Once you say yes, I mean, why wait forever? I just say get it done."
The family wants to make sure that the engaged couple are ready to be parents before they get married since Josh and Anna found out that they were pregnant about four months after their wedding, Derick and Jill found out about four weeks after their wedding and then Ben and Jessa found out that they were pregnant about three months into their marriage.

Jessa's engagment Recap

Ben moved into their family guest room and their relationship has been moving fast since than. Jessa reveals that the more that she has gotten to know Ben, she has fallen more in love with him.
 
Ben decides that it's time to ask Jim Bob to marry Jessa and Jim Bob gives the okay. Ben wants the whole family to be in this big event. Derick and Jill were unable to participate since Jill is pregnant with their first child and has morning sickness but stays in the loop with texting.

Ben's parents and Jessa's parents are the double date with Ben and Jessa. Jessa figures that there is something up but doesn't know what. Ben takes her to the marketplace where their relationship started almost a year ago.

Jim Bob offers prayer but wants everyone to hold hands. Ben and Jessa set rules about holding hands until they are engaged. Jessa feels that it was a special moment between them since it was their first time.

Josh and Anna surprise the couple by paying for their meal. The server brings the first gift that Ben has ever wrapped. Ben tells her that it's a clue for the rest of her life but she has to wait until tomorrow morning to open it. Jessa so badly wants to open the gift.

The next morning, Jessa unwrapps it and gets a message from Ben saying that Jinger and Jessa are going to Eurkea Springs with her older brother John David. Joseph arranges to get them and drop them off at a golf course which she must get a hole in one to get the next clue.

The next thing, Jessa and Jinger get on a trolly to relive their adventurs from DC while seeing the little duggar family. Jessa then has to gather a dozen roses around the park.

Duggars and Seewalds are getting the chapel where Ben will ask Jessa to be his wife. They are both excited for it. They head off for a train ride with Jessa and Jinger. Jessa is surprised to find them instead of Ben. Ben's father is talking to his son about his future.

The big moment is when Joseph takes Jessa and Jinger to the chapel where Ben is waiting for her. She could not believe what is going to happen. Jinger allows the couple to have some space. Ben asks her to marry him and she agrees. Ben slips the ring on her finger and they share their first fontal hug. Jessa loves her ring and starts to hold hands with him for the second time.

Jessa is happy to spend the rest of her life with Ben! They head to share the news with their family!
