It was summer time in 2011. Patrick had just commissioned as an Officer in the US Army and was taking a trip out to Denver to see a close friend who had inspired him to serve. The day he arrived in town Patrick and I met for the first time while joining two friends for some drinks and a rousing game of Pictionary. The other couple naturally joined forces so it was up to me and Patrick to challenge them. From the first drawing it was clear we were either cheating or had a weird connection going on. "Bridge! Dog Food! Elephant!". A couple of lines on a piece of paper was enough for us to read each others thoughts. The joy we experienced during these moments of teamwork started a love affair that led to engagement 3 months later, marriage a couple more after that, and now 7 years on we still make a great team.
