We met on my second day of work at Butte County Superior Court. There was a spark from the first moment Kirk walked into my boss's office. He first noticed my eyes and my curly hair. I thought he was funny and interesting. Although, as most know by now, there was also a funny story of how he magically had my contact information in his phone about two years before we ever met! That of course led to intrigue and how this random person ended up with my information. Intrigue led to a group bike ride that turned into a group of two, me and Kirk. Everyone else canceled or didn't show up for the ride that day. So, we went for a bike ride and got to know each other. We discovered we had a lot in common and had a lot of the same interests. This bike ride was the first of many that eventually totaled over 1200 miles together on our bikes. When Kirk and I met, neither of us were looking to meet anyone, but we have both said that it was a "God Thing", and it was his handy work that brought us together. We didn't pick each other, but we were handpicked for each other by God.
