9 Things You Should Know about Anna Duggar

4. She Actually Knew the Duggars Before Josh

Anna actually became interested in the Duggar family when she was 13 years old. During an interview she said, “When I was thirteen I first heard about the Duggar family, through mutual friends. It was Christmas Day, and I read an article about the Duggars that a friend had sent to us. The Duggars had thirteen children at the time, and I thought it would be neat to meet them one day!” After hearing about their TV show Anna said, “Just after the Duggars first show aired on the Discovery Health Channel, some friends of ours sent us a copy of 14 Children & Pregnant Again! As my family watched the video, I noticed how Joshua, then age sixteen, shared the importance of guarding his heart and waiting for someone who would really love him and wasn’t going to just get carried away with their emotions. I was so excited to see another family who was brought up so similar to the way our parents were training us, but never would I have dreamed what God had in store!”
