Both of us were raised in Kentucky, and now reside in Charleston, SC where I am graduating with my associate's degree in ministerial worship arts and Hudson is working to complete school to be a Nuclear Machinists Mate. Hudson first pursued me after being acquaintances for a little over a year in the local folk dance group in Berea, KY. After several dates, I continued to turn him down! Eventually I started to see his unwillingness to give up, and pure passion for fun and more importantly, God. I realized he was who I wanted to be with after a long hike up to the top of a mountain. Since then we have lived as close as a mile to each other and been as far away as a 1,000 miles away doing long distance. Through it all, we have been so close to each other since our very first date three years ago. We know that this is something special!
