Kirk and I were classmates from 8th grade to our senior year of high school. We knew each other and went to all the same parties with the same people and were friendly with each other, but we never dated. Eight years ago we reconnected on facebook beginning a battle of snarky banter and awkward flirting that went on for years until Kirk finally asked me out just before thanksgiving 2017...actually my bff Kenna got tired of witnessing the painfully awkward online flirting and rather forcefully and publically suggested he ask me out. Kirk did, but when he accidentally knocked my voodoo book off my kitchen counter the first time he came to my house, I thought he’d run out as fast as he could. To his credit he didn’t run! We’ve been dating ever since. Last January after getting sappy watching the Two Cellos, he asked me to marry him. I still think he did it on accident, but I said yes anyway and here we are...about to elope to Hawaii!
