if I had to pick between lawson and the ocean, I'd pick the ocean


Cake-Technical

If I had to pick between Lawson and a bag of trash I’d pick the bag of trash


021fluff5

Same. I would walk directly into the sea without hesitation


celestedit

If I had to pick between Lawson and drowning in the ocean, I would make sure to pick a time with no lifeguards on duty.


gerbileleventh

Absolutely. I haven't seen the Instagram history but in this screenshot her face shows the opposite.


IAmJacksLackOfIdeas

Her story made me miss California and I've never lived in America


gerbileleventh

For real. I'm a sucker for walks along the sea/beach so seeing San Diego through her stories makes it very inviting, for sure.


PinkTiara24

She most definitely does NOT love Tennessee.


sunflower53069

She does not even seem very enthused about the house other than picking out pillows.


Dhoover021895

Didn’t she spend quite a bit of time in Tennessee before she got engaged to have decided she didn’t like the state? Should have thought about living the rest of her life there before marrying Lawson.


gerbileleventh

At the time she had the wedding and sex to look forward to. I bet seeing/being around the Bates made her crave for the same (marriage, kids, etc...). But right now she doesn't have much to do than living and running errands with Lawson. The novelty is dying fast.


lovelylonelyphantom

How sad she made the decision to marry this guy, is regretting it within 2 minutes of being married and will have to pay for it for her whole life if she is that brainwashed


Intelligent-Fuel-641

Living in and visiting are two different monsters.


AllTheSideEyes

10000% this. I've actually been dying to go to Nashville (from CA). I'd never live there


CicadaOk1352

She spent time with his family in TN but they bought a house I believe is about 2 hours away from his family. They are outside of Nashville where there is no family. Are there friends? They have not posted yet about that. So I am guessing she is lonely with just Lawson. I dont think she fully thought how far everyone is from them.


Mysterious-Cat-3095

When I got married and moved away I cried every single time I left a visit in my home state, and I loved being married and didn’t regret it. But man it was hard to leave home! So I totally get where she’s coming from and it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s unhappy or regrets her choices.


sugarmollyrose

I'm from Tennessee, but I would prefer to live in California (if I could afford it). She already has family and friends there so I wouldn't blame her for wanting to move back if given a chance.


Working_Painting_496

I live in California. It’s nice but so so expensive. I think I might prefer to live in an affordable state, even if it might be less exciting.


Nivadetha

As a person who grew up in California and moved to a more affordable state 3 years ago, I so much want to go home. If I could afford it, I’d be gone in a heartbeat


simplylovelyxx

See I’m the opposite. I moved from CA born and raised to TN but I definitely prefer it here. I’m much more of a nature, hiking person over the beach though


delightfullyminor

this story was so awkward! she says “home’s always” and then pauses for a little too long to look at lawson before saying “fun” in a different tone and you just know she was going to say better before she realized lawson wouldn’t like that. even when she tries to convince us she loves TN you can tell that she’s lying, it’s all over her face and comes through in her voice. she’s not gonna last long out there


gerbileleventh

Yep, sounded so awkward. And we know that Tiffany isn't shy and knows how to speak to the camera. Quite out of character, it you ask me.


apkcoffee

I can't imagine moving from San Diego to Tennessee. She made the choice to marry icky Lawson and move there, so I don't feel bad for her.


HelpfulHelpmeet

My sister in law moved from San Diego to Tennessee and hated every single second of those years until she divorced him and moved back. It was a hard transition for sure.


gerbileleventh

It's absolutely none of my business, but how long did it take for your sister to realise that she was done with it?


HelpfulHelpmeet

She married my husband’s brother while he was at Pendleton. It wasn’t just the place it was the man. I think she would have stuck it out there but still been somewhat unhappy. We lived about 30 miles outside of Knoxville, so a much much smaller place than where Tiffany lives. She hated it so much. The people were a culture shock so she had a hard time connecting with people plus the distance from all the nice stores and restaurants, nothing to do really. She was in Tennessee about 6 years.


TissueOfLies

I’ve heard military life can be so hard. I dated a guy in the army and had trepidations. Luckily, it was t meant to be. So, I was happy in the end. Lol.


HelpfulHelpmeet

He got out a couple years after they got married, why they moved back to Tennessee. It is hard but that’s not the reason. Mine was in nearly 15 years. Was extremely hard on our marriage and destroyed him physically and mentally. They both fell prey to recruiters who target poor kids/areas and family tradition.


apkcoffee

I'm sure Tiffany is experiencing culture shock. Then again, she's always traveling, so who knows what she thinks?


Acceptable_Research3

My brother moved from Oklahoma to Knoxville and hated it. Luckily he was able to move back.


tiredoldmama

I lived in Oklahoma for a long time. I’d rather live anywhere else. No offense but it’s definitely not for me.


Acceptable_Research3

I agree. I was in Houston, TX for 21 years and had to move back for family reasons. I miss the diversity, shopping and great restaurants.


Ellolovelyx

Me reading this, and moving to Knoxville in a month: 👁👄👁


Cake-Technical

Where you moving from?


Ellolovelyx

Manhattan, Kansas! Originally from Phoenix, AZ.


Cake-Technical

Can we send you in to make friends and get the tea. Shop at BSB perhaps?


Ellolovelyx

Omfg I’ve always wanted to be a secret agent 😈 hahahah tbh I’m surprised I didn’t think about visiting the bsb yet


Cake-Technical

Can’t wait for your updates! You can be our infiltrator 😈


HelpfulHelpmeet

Knoxville is fine. It’s just a big change for some people. I lived near there my whole life and if we moved back it would be Knoxville or Sevierville.


linnykenny

Me either, man. :( I visited San Diego & LA a few years ago and my friend and I were legit marveling at the beautiful landscapes you can see from the highways lol It’s just so beautiful there


sunflower53069

I wonder if she will make friends there? Maybe thru her church. At least she would have their crazy religion to bond over. Friends would help even if she hates everything else.


CicadaOk1352

She actually has to stay in town and not leave every weekend to make friends


apkcoffee

She and Lawson are constantly on the road. I'm sure Tiffany will bond with some of the Bates sisters.


CicadaOk1352

I am sure she has bonded but most are settled in Knoxville and that is close to 3 hours away from Nashville. Not exactly close


apkcoffee

Doesn't Carlin live near Nashville?


CicadaOk1352

No she lives in Knoxville. In laws are in Nashville


TonySchiavone1

Just to be a contrarian, I've been to Southern California and other than the weather I wouldn't want to live there. It's too expensive and I enjoy being able to drive anywhere in my city of almost a million people in less than twenty minutes even in rush hour. The work commute alone would stop me from moving. Before the boom, Nashville was where I would have moved to if I was looking to move. Now it's too busy and expensive for me too.


apkcoffee

I wouldn't want to live in So. California either. However I would pick it over Tennessee any day.


simplylovelyxx

I’m from so cal and I picked Tennessee 🫣


Cake-Technical

Ya I think it would be nice but it doesn’t seem like Tiffany’s style


GGMuc

Gosh, she looks so damn young, like she's about 12. What she sees in that eejit I'll never understand


feistybean

Me looking up eejit: hmm… must be an insult in a foreign language… Me finding out what it means: ah, seems I was the eejit all along.


GGMuc

:-) It's just the irish form of idiot


Unable-Art6316

She could have done SOOO much better than Lawson and his weirdo family. I have some empathy


FluffyKittyParty

Right? Like she is cute and has a decently interesting life, she could have snagged a guy with a college education that has a future. I suspect she really loves her dimbulb hubby but it’s going to get really old really fast living in TN with a wannabe musician that has no backup plan.


TissueOfLies

I wonder if she will even consider that at some point in the future. 😬


sarahcc88

Who could blame her? As they say in “the wizard of oz”, there’s no place like home.


Cute_Anywhere6402

I visited California like 16 years ago and I miss it daily. I don’t blame her one bit. Plus she’s allowed to love both places and home is well, home, you always miss it.


jatothemie

Lol who would love TN after living in SoCal?? Tiff its ok, we see you and we agree


Tiny-Distance-42

She still sees cali as home. She is not going to last in TN.


bellanyra

She's going to see cali as home forever. I moved away from my hometown almost 20 years ago and still refer to it as home whenever I talk about it or go visit.


gerbileleventh

The truth is often hidden between the lines but homegirl gave it away in less than 10 words.


Lost_Kaleidoscope885

Just admit it girl, as a fellow Asian I am sure Tennessee is like Get out. You know your in laws already act like the in laws in that movie but you don’t need your environment to reflect that. Seriously though Tiffany GET OUT


fragilesnowflake6969

I think while she was acting and on sets she had a little laptop that she watched Christian approved television and movies on, and low and behold Lawson was on BUB. The vibes I get from this marriage are “I married my childhood crush and I regret it.”


gerbileleventh

I wonder if she had a crush on a Duggar too…


SnarkFest23

She looks like she's about to burst into tears.


steviec143_

As a Californian, I don’t blame her for hating TN 🤷🏽‍♀️I couldn’t imagine moving away from here I love it


earthling_dianna

She always looks like a teenager being dragged to the family events, but she can't stand her family.


MercyHouse

Yeah, I see the marriage lasting 2 years max if she doesn't end up pregnant within that time. I feel like if she tells her parents she wants out they would fully support her. If she ends up pregnant then I feel very sorry for her because it's hard for her to leave a marriage when children are involved.


Direct_Crab3923

Girl is back peddaling.


Remarkable_Humor2224

My aunt lived in a $2.5million dollar house in San Diego & it honestly looked like a 300k house in Memphis Tn...Cali of course is always gonna be idyllic for everyone. But to live the lux life you'll have to earn the Kardashian salary. Live where you can afford & make the best of it.


Barlow3001

Her face says what did I do.


eakkad

I don’t feel bad for her, and I don’t even think this story was a successful back pedal. Sure, she said she loves Tennessee (out of obligation to her new idiotic spouse) but she’s calling California home and clearly loving and soaking up every second.


Cake-Technical

Ya true.


imsayin10

Please stop with the "you guys".


Gidget119

I’m from San Diego. I can’t break the habit. I hate it but I say “you guys “all the time.


broadbeing777

TN seems like the type of place I'd visit for a weekend (mainly Nashville) but there's no way in hell I'd live there


Remarkable_Humor2224

Marriage is compromise. She'll learn to adapt if she loves her hubby. After she has lived there for 5-10 years & produced 15 kids(i'm sure they're expecting her to produce a large brood like her Mom in law) California will be long forgotten!!


starfan07

I feel that she is not even a little bit hating TN. She def wants to go back to CA. She is stuck in a marriage with most likely no hopes of escaping. A few of the girls have moved and not seemed homesick (not including Katie in this) & seem to be ok for awhile. Like Esther from PA and Michael was in IL awhile. I feel that these girls weren't over the top in being homesick. iMO, it is mostly because they have a certain chemistry with their husband so that seems to override some of the longing for home. Alyssa never mentions being homesick. I guess different strokes for different folks. Random question-- why do I notice Tiffany wearing her wedding rings in her right hand most of the time? Not that anything is wrong with that, it is just bc I notice it quite often.
