Hudson and I met on November 18th of 2022 after an introduction from our mutual friends Paige and Dylan Walker. Dylan and Hudson had golfed earlier that day and I was complaining to Paige that evening about my frustration with the Dallas dating scene!

Upon meeting, we realized that we had many mutual friends. Hudson’s cousin grew up with my brother in law and Hudson’s uncle Bill had even officiated my sister’s wedding in 2020. I had no idea Hudson even existed! I see God’s hand in every detail including the timing of how we met. He was doing different things behind the scenes to prepare our hearts to be ready for each other. Hudson and I joke that we wish we met each other 10 years ago but the reality is that God’s timing is perfect.

Back in April of 2021, someone challenged me to make a list of everything that I was looking for in a husband. The focal point of the list was that I wanted someone who was rooted in their relationship with Jesus. But God also exceeded my expectations giving me seemingly silly things I had asked for too. I wanted someone who was from Dallas and drove a truck! God answered my prayers very specifically by giving me Hudson.

Hudson is my greatest gift aside from my salvation in Jesus and I can’t wait to be his wife! Just like God’s grace in my life, he is a gift I don’t deserve.

We hope that despite our flaws and shortcomings our marriage will point to Him. As I prepare for our wedding, I am reminded that I should be preparing more for the “real” wedding - Revelation 19:9. Our wedding here on earth is what Paul David Tripp calls a “signpost”. An earthly thing God created to point us to the glory of God and the covenant that he made with us. We can’t wait to celebrate with y’all in just a few months!!
