We met as neighbors walking our dogs around our apartment complex. Our friend group spent a decent amount of time together outside walking dogs, talking while our dogs played "tennis" on the tennis court, hanging out at people's apartments and occasionally going out. A lot of friends began to move out of the complex including Luis. Kelly walked 1/2 mile up the road to see the neighbors sometimes but trips became less frequent. After a conversation one evening with our friends about how we needed to hangout more, Luis asked Kelly and others to attend a Hops for Hope event in north Raleigh. A couple of weeks later, Luis asked "people" to come over to watch a movie but apparently he only invited Kelly, who was a bit skeptical but was still interested. Later in the month, Kelly asked the same group of friends from the Hops to Hope event to join her in going to Carowinds to meet up with other friends but Luis was the only one who said he would go. We'd like to think the Carowinds trip was the beginning of our relationship because it was so much fun and we greatly enjoyed each other's company but our relationship started a couple of weeks later when Luis asked Kelly to two weekend events...she didn't even ask what the second one was before agreeing. The first night we met up with friends to play pool and arcade games at our neighborhood bar. Allegedly, Kelly held Luis's hand and he then followed that up with a kiss. And they have so far lived happily ever after.
