We're getting married!

While in PT school, my 3rd clinical rotation was at Druid City Hospital (DCH) in Tuscaloosa. This was on the tail end of COVID-19 and I wasn't even supposed to be there. I had originally been assigned a nursing home in my hometown that cancelled my clinical due to the pandemic so I was relocated. Several weeks into my rotation, I was standing at the white board looking at my assigned cases of the day when a blondie walked up to me and said "Hey, are you Megan?" to which I responded, "No." He turned and walked away and that was it. "Nice to meet you too," I thought to myself but went on about my day. A few weeks later, that same guy was assigned to assist me. We officially met and exchanged numbers (that's how they communicated with each other from other floors of the hospital). We worked together for about a week and got along really well; even a patient made a comment to us about being a good team. The end of my clinical was right at Christmas time and I was invited to the therapy department's party at a coworker's house. I found out Logan was going, so I decided to go too. He walked in wearing a hat, jeans, boots, and Christmas sweater with a nutcracker on it that said "let's get nuts"... and I was hooked. Suddenly I was looking for him in every room and he was never far away. The next day was my last day at DCH and on my way out, Logan hugged me. I was packing up my rental house preparing to move back to Birmingham, but I couldn't stop thinking about Logan. So I sent the text. And we've been together ever since.

I was working as a Rehab Aide at DCH (this story was late 2021) and Hannah was in one of her clinical rotations in PT school. Our very first moment meeting was when I approached her at work and asked if she was Megan, who was the other student I was supposed to be helping at that time (Hannah mentions that in her story). However, it wasn't until multiple weeks later when I was actually assigned to assist Hannah at work. Throughout the time we spent working together at DCH, I never really thought of her as more than basically a "co-worker" even though I definitely liked her and really enjoyed working with her, but it didn't feel appropriate to think of her another way at the time. It was really at the DCH Christmas party, the Thursday night before she finished her clinical rotation the next day, that we got to hang out in a non-work setting and man that's when I realized how truly wonderful she is. The Saturday two days later, she texted me saying we should get together sometime (I was literally in the middle of talking to my parents about her while eating lunch at Taco Casa and trying to work up the nerve to text her myself). The funny and cool thing about it all was that I had really been praying to God to help me find "the one" and DCH definitely was not where I expected to do so, but of course God's timing is always perfect and the rest is history!
