Story
Logan and Ethan met while waiting for the elevator at the OU Medical Center. She had recently moved to Oklahoma to start a new job, and Ethan had moved there a few years before to complete his medical training.
In an empty hallway Logan stood in front of the elevator, face buried in her assignment when she first heard his voice. "Hi, I'm Ethan. Are you new here?" he asked. The conversation between them was brief but left them both curious. Over the next week, Ethan searched the hospital for her, eager to ask her to dinner. He finally tracked her down, and a week later, they spent an evening exchanging flirtatious banter over pizza and cocktails at a little restaurant in Uptown.
Over the next few months, they fell in love, and when Ethan moved to Michigan, they committed to a long-distance relationship. They traveled to see one another every month, and they found themselves falling asleep on the phone with one another every night. After a short weekend in Arkansas late last October, Ethan proposed over pizza and cocktails at the same table, where it all began, and Logan said YES!
We can't wait for this exciting new chapter!
Tidbits
Who's going to take out the trash?
Ethan is just a gentleman like that ;)
What was your most memorable date?
Hmm... that would probably be our second date. We were meeting at The Drake in OKC when my girlfriend called me to worn me about the tornado threat. I told her I was headed to meet "that cute guy" for another date and nothing was stopping me!! When we got to the restaurant we were the only people there and all the businesses had started to close down early due to the weather.
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
Elk at Geronimo's in Santa Fe, New Mexico
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
This past summer we took a few weeks off during our transition to Arkansas. We traveled from Missouri all the way to Arizona. We hiked the Rockies in Colorado, car tented in Utah, and floated the Salt River in Arizona together. It was magical!!!!
What is your favorite thing about Ethan?
The way he treats others. When returning to Detroit after Christmas, he took some sleeping bags back with him to give to houseless residents of his neighborhood.
What is your favorite thing about Logan?
You mean favorite things. I love how sweet and sincere Logan is. I love how funny she is, and her wit is lightning fast. I love how she cares for me and supports me. I love how she cares for others.
