The Adventures of the Hodson House

Okay, so I finally got roped into this blogging thing after my dear friend Andrea said that "EVERYONE in 2008" was doing it. I think that it will be a great way of keeping everyone up to date on all the adventures to come here at the Hodson House, especially with so many family and friends living so far away. 

So here goes a quick update, as most of you already know....

We are expecting our first baby girl in October....Addison Kate Hodson! Life seems like it has been a whirlwind these past few months. Derek and I took a trip out to Savannah to visit my Mom and Jim in June and in July I went to Dallas for a week for a school conference and just got back from visiting my wonderful family in California, where my Aunt Shirley and Aunt Sharon threw our very first baby shower. In between all the traveling, we have been working on the nursery (slowly...I might add). Right now we have it painted and that is about it. Derek has been busy at work, running his branch. He was promoted several months ago to Branch Manager and manged to score a branch about 5 minutes from the house. I go back to school August 18, so I only have a few more weeks of summer left. I must also mention, Hailey Jade, our sweet dog. She has been enjoying a life of leisure while barking at any moving animal on the TV. I am a little nervous that this new skill she has acquired will become a big problem once the baby arrives....so she may be headed to boot camp (aka Derek's parents house).

So there it is.....Enjoy the blog and check back often for updates!
