This thing we're doing here, you, me. I'm in. I'm all in.

Kirstie and Abraham met at work. They were transferred to the same branch in an unfamiliar area, 22 miles away from where they lived. Neither of them wanted to go and neither of them had the choice. Kirstie arrived first. When Abraham arrived, Kirstie asked if he had gotten a tour of the branch. He lied, and said he had not, prompting the beginning of their story.

Abraham kept to himself. He came to work, did what was asked of him, and left when he was done. Kirstie started making friends with their colleagues, and invited Abraham out with them one night. For some reason, Abraham accepted. They spent time together and started talking through Snap Chat, unbeknownst of their friends. As they got to know each other, it felt more and more right. They started telling each other of their feelings, and decided to keep it their secret. They missed each others company, and spent six days at work each week just to be with each other. As could be expected, people eventually caught on. It didn't matter though, for they were already head over heels. They both wanted adventure and to travel. They made each other laugh and feel as though they belonged together.

Through random conversation, Abraham and Kirstie decided they wanted to travel. Kirstie had always wanted to go to Ireland. So that’s exactly what they did. Their parents thought they were crazy, but away they went. Five days of spontaneous castle hopping and sight seeing together through Ireland and Scotland. It was a memory they’d treasure Forever. After coming home, they spent as much time together as they could. They binge watched Game of Thrones, spent lazy days at home, met friends, went to the beach, and got to know each other even better. Unaware of the amazing future they’d soon have together.

A surprise to everyone, their beautiful baby girl soon joined their story. Though a struggle, the determined couple turned into a family of three. Their dreams of travel and adventure now included this small little human who blessed their lives. They promised to show her the world and give her a loving home.

That’s exactly what we did. These past five years we’ve grown together, built our lives together and, most importantly, became a family. We never imagined that first day we met that we’d be here today, in our new home with our kindergartner. Not only do we have each other, but we’ve gained moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and amazing friends. We are eager to find out what the future holds for us and are excited to celebrate our big day with everyone! Thank you so much for reading our story and an even bigger thank you for being a part of it.
