We first met at baggage claim in the Boston Logan International Airport on August 12, 2018. At the time, Mike was living in Chicago and Patrick in Kansas City, MO. Our mutual friend, David Blair (Hi David!), organized a trip to Provincetown on Cape Cod for the town's annual Carnival festival. Picture Mardi Gras meets Gay Pride meets the beach. As with many love stories, we had instant chemistry and by the end of the week, we knew we had to stay in touch. After a short long distance courtship, Mike moved to Kansas City where we now have a home. Patrick has lovingly adopted Mike's dog, Stanley, while Mike continues to make his best efforts to win over Patrick's cat, Perry. Together, we've also adopted a rambunctious kitten, Hamilton. #patrickandmike
