Laura and Kenneth met through mutual friends at a "house leaving" party in Chapel Hill during the summer of 2014. At the time, Laura was about to begin graduate school at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and Kenneth was working at UNC. Their first date was over margaritas, which would become a staple drink for the years that followed. The two immediately hit it off and both knew there were many more dates and long conversations in their future. Since the two lived close in proximity and spent weekdays at UNC they were able to get to know one another over long walks with Laura’s sweet pup Ollie, bus rides to campus, breakfast in the student union, drinks at he’s not here… among many other chapel hill favorites! Nearly 8 years later many things have changed; Laura earned her PhD in Nutrition and works for a CRO, Kenneth earned his masters and works for a small contracting firm, the two have now lived together for almost 4 years, and of course warmly welcomed the cuddle captain Charlie to the crew. However, some things have stayed the same, there are still long walks with puppies, long conversations over drinks, and the never ending drive to help each other through life’s challenges.
