Abe and Kenya

For all of Abe's eight or so years of dating (well, minus the two years on his mission), after nearly every date he ever went on, I would curiously (you know, while trying to pretend nonchalance and a lack of curiosity) ask, "Well, how was it?" 

And nearly every time his reply was something like, "Oh, it was fine." Even with the girls he dated more seriously there always seemed to be a lack of real excitement or investment on Abe's part.

So, when I received a late-night text from Abe several months ago that simply said, "So this never happens but I just went out with a girl I am really excited about", I kid you not, I called my sisters the next day and said, "I think Abe is going to get married!"

It truly was a case of love at first sight. For both of them. 

And so ... none of us are too very shocked to be planning a wedding! Welcome to the Harris clan, Kenya!
