I remember when young Ben came back from a trip down south ablaze with the memories of this young lady he'd just met.
"She's way out of my league, Murph"
That didn't stop the tall fella with the Bo & Luke like upbringing and the emo blaring from his internet pod. He took a shot and asked her out. It's sort of a commitment to drive six hours just to pick up your date.
And now she's taken his name and increased the likelihood that his future brood will be a lot smarter and better looking. Ben married that young lady, named after my favorite Friends character, and today they will rejoin us for a weekend of stories, Chipotle and possibly poker. Annie and I will get the house ready, hurriedly stick a picture of them on our fridge and start practicing beans.
We can't wait to see them.
It's going to be a good one...
