Nate & Luisa bio picture
  • WE ARE…

    ... THE PERKES. We still consider ourselves newlyweds [we've been married for almost 5 years]. Our firstborn, Jace, is now 2 years old, and became a big brother when Sofia Rain joined our family in November 2012. We are from the East Coast [Luisa is from MA and Nate is from NH]. We are Bronco's Fans [We've lived in the Boise area for almost 5 years]. We are travelers. We are athletes and we are dancers. We are enthusiastic about food. We are spontaneous. We are addicted to the sun. We are in love.

    Most importantly... we are HAPPY. We are the Perkes.

It was good to be home, but adjusting was interesting. I got busy immediately working, remodeling our attic and…

Cherlin - Slam dunkin like Shaquille O’Neal, if he wrote intmioafrve articles.

Nate ventured where certainly no human has ever been before, and most definitely where no missionary should ever go! His motto: Work hard… play harder. He developed an eye for art over the course of his mission. Certainly his talent and passion blossomed during this time. Anyone scared of heights? He certainly was not. More…

Right before Nate returned home from his mission, my family and I, the Morales’, traveled to San Jose, Costa Rica to pick up another honorable missionary, my brother, Andrew. My father was born and raised in Costa Rica and has not been there since 1978 when he returned from his mission. My mother has always…

Shortly after we had finally gotten settled in Denver, we picked up and moved again. Here we come OMAHA!!! Nate’s job keeps us on our toes… or rather on the road. The day after we arrived, we went to a baseball game to celebrate the 4th of July!! There were hot dogs, home runs, fried…

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder?"

It’s never been more true. Embarking on one last adventure with our little brother Max, Nate and Jake headed to the slightly warmer climate of Dallas, Texas on Monday. Though not anxious to beginning knocking doors again, it was a good opportunity for them all to earn a few extra Benjamin Franklins and take advantage…
