Mike and I lived in the same apartment building, and both noticed each other for a year before we met. One night I was outside chatting with my neighbors and asked if they knew who Mike was (their dog made friends with the whole neighborhood), but they hadn't met him either. A couple minutes later Mike happened to walk out to get his mail, and before I even thought about it I was calling him over. We all introduced ourselves, chatted a bit and parted ways. I remember thinking after I just ruined any chance I had, as I had been in the middle of cleaning and doing laundry with a huge bun on my head and was a couple of (large) glasses of wine deep. It must not have mattered though! Soon after Mike found and reached out to me on social media and the rest is history. Safe to say we owe our happiness to Heatherwood Apartments and a bottle of wine for a little extra courage in bringing us together!
