B & T: Four weeks of marriage

It's hard to believe that Bobby and Tori have been married for the past four weeks. Bobby shared on Thursday's night live chat that they got home on Monday from their honeymoon. We do have a new photo of the couple along with Josie, Kelton, Lawson, Carlin and Evan.
Many of you have asked why we do weekly updates of the newlyweds. Back when Brandon and Michaella got married, we decided that the first month, we do weekly since the couple had shared many photos of their honeymoon. We hope that Bobby and Tori will update their Instagram very soon.

We will see you on Tuesday for their first month of marriage.

Recap: Decorating Dilemmas and Job decisions

Kelly and Erin head to help Michaella decorate her new place since Brandon and Michaella have moved out of their apartment. Brandon reveals his one rule about the family coming to help them that Michaella has to like it to keep it. Brandon likes modern decor but Michaella has chosen a country/farmhouse theme.

The girls head to the fabric store to make curtains. Kelly's ideas are different than both Michaella and Erin's but the girls don't find a fabric to make for the curtain. Kelly reveals that she is just there for the ride.

While the girls are decorating, Michaella gives an update about her journey to motherhood. She has been with a specialist for over a year. They have been a lot of test and have one more to do. They want to have it done by Dr. Vick.

Michaella reveals that they have one more procedure that she can have done and if that doesn't work, the couple will take a break and enjoy their marriage and start the journey again later down the line.
Brandon arrives home and they all head out to go bowling. Erin reveals that her mom was the only one to have bumpers up and Erin agrees because of her age. Kelly was surprised at her daughters competitive spirit was Michaella did not like the fact that her sister beat her.

When they return back to the house, the girls stay up to finish the house. Michaella loves the outcome of the house which makes Brandon happy.

Chad and Bobby are heading to work. Chad has offered Bobby his job at the metal recycling facility as he is helping at the family's church. Chad has been offered a new job at a local builder since he has been into it for a while.

Tori and her little sisters pick up Bobby to go get some ice cream at the Chunky Monkey. Tori asked Bobby when he is going to propose and if he has looked for rings. Bobby asked her if she has ever heard of a surprise before. They change the subject.
