Mount Pleasant Couple Wins Yummy Dinner at SOL: Courtney and Keith Thompson

We just moved to Charleston a few weeks ago, me from Ohio and Keith from PA.

We met at Mercyhurst University in Erie,PA my freshman year of college. We both played on the same tennis team in college and that’s how we met. We both went to college in PA so we’d come down to Hilton Head to train for spring break. While we were there in Hilton Head he told me that he wanted to take me on a date while we were down here so one day after practice he said let me take you to Charleston. I had never been there before but he had lived there for 5 years previous and fell in love with it. He got our coach to let him use the school van ( our coach was cool) and we took a beautiful drive on the coast all the way to Charleston. Once we were there, he took me over to his favorite spot on Sullivan’s where he had had his sister who lives in Charleston set up a some candles and a picnic for us with all of my favorite foods. We were at a spot over by the fort. It was my first time ever in Charleston and I instantly fell in love and we both promised we’d stay together and move there one day and fast forward 4 years later and we now live in mount p.

I was searching for a job in Charleston in marketing since I graduated in May and finally got an offer in November and we moved in January and that’s when I started. I work in digital marketing downtown and Keith works as a tennis professional, teaching and playing in tournaments down here.

Thank you so much again. We can’t wait to go on our date.
