We met at Max's Taphouse in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore in December 2016. Pat had just moved to Baltimore that August and one of Julia's friends, Ashley Brudy, thought it would be a good idea for us to meet. Once we met up and got through the "is this a date or what is this" phase we began to realize that we may be more than friends. After hours of talking we realized that the Bills and Steelers were going to play each other that weekend and Pat thought it would be a good idea for us to watch the game at the Bills bar in Baltimore. We shared wings, Julia had zero regard for napkins, and the Steelers beat the Bills. Feeling bad Julia gave Pat a "consolation prize kiss" and the rest is history.
