We’re getting married!

An unexpected short day on my surgical clerkship prompted a trip to visit Jordan in Lexington for the weekend. I thought it was going to be a wonderful surprise since he had to work that evening. I picked up dinner on my way in, and headed to bed early since Jordan was working his normal late shift. Jordan got up Saturday morning and went to the gym and let me catch up on sleep. A few hours later he came home with some Chick-fil-a for breakfast. I got out of bed half asleep and bundled up in a blanket on the couch and we ate. Just about as soon as I was ready to go back to sleep, Jordan asked if we could work a puzzle he ordered. He dumped out the pieces on the coffee table and we started. Soon our faces started appearing, and I assumed that in addition to the scrapbook pictures he printed that he had ordered a puzzle too. After a couple of hours I made Jordan switch me spots on the couch due to the crick in my neck. I was getting utterly frustrated and was ready for a nap. As I started slowing my pace Jordan began to frantically put the puzzle together. As I was about to call it quits and let him finish the rest of the puzzle, he had placed in the last outer piece. I took a look at the puzzle and told him something was wrong because the whole middle of the puzzle was missing. He threw me a bag with more pieces and said to finish the middle. So I figured it must be a special picture of the two of us. Man was I wrong! I put his face together and then started piecing together what looked like his parents porch....we never took a picture together on porch. Perplexed I continued. I struggled for a good while on the very middle, I could make out my name, but nothing else. Finally it read: Katie will you marry me? And Jordan was now on one knee in his living room ring in hand, asking if I would marry him. I said YES! Tears in my eyes, I was in my pjs with my hair a mess. I couldn't imagine a more perfect proposal.
