So you may be wondering, where did this relationship begin? We will tell you. It all started on social media after replying to one another's stories twice in the span of a week. The last direct message spiraled into a 4 hour long fun-loving conversation via text. Ironically, Kirk was attending a wedding not know he was conversing with his future wife. We shared laughs, sarcastic jokes, and similar interest; which lead to the exchange of numbers. The same night we talked for hours on the phone. During this conversation Perish stated she had a crush on Kirk while in college. In disbelief Kirk responded, "Lies." However, Kirk couldn't get enough of Perish, so he texted and called the very next morning. From then on, Perish and Kirk spent significant time getting to know each other. A bond was made! Due to the close proximity of their jobs they were able to do lunch together at Buckroe Beach. Eventually, after a year and a half, Kirk felt in his heart that Perish was his future wife and decided to propose in the company of their children. It didn't go exactly as plan, but after the questioned was popped by Kirk and the kids screaming, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Perish was surprised and smiled from ear to ear saying, Yes! From the beginning until now our love for God and one another has kept us together. Now we are ready to spend our time together forever!
