Matt Hudson had only been in the Army a few months when he was moved to JBLM from Brownsville, TN. Little did he know that when he came here for work, he’d end up meeting his future wife and settling down. “We met at a Super Bowl Party in 2006,” remembers his wife, Tamara. “We were married by May 8th 2006.” At first, living on post in New Hillside seemed to make sense, Matt has had multiple deployments over the years. In 2011, with one daughter (Olivia) already added to their family, they decided they were ready for a home of their own.

Their Realtor Jim Swanson remembers their home search, “National VA Lender Referred them to me, and we bacame instant friends,” he said. “We looked at a moderate amount of homes. They knew what they wanted and where they wanted it, so it was a short process to finding the home.”

In the end, Matt and Tamera found a home in the new construction community of Crossroads, on Puyallup’s South Hill. Located at the intersection of 128th St E & 115th Ave Ct E, it’s an easy commute to JBLM and close to the mall and all of the restaurants and parks that make South Hill a great place to live. “I am proud to have been a part of their process to home ownership,” says Jim. “And will call them friends for a very long time I hope.”
