Hudson Happenings: July 4th Weekend and House Progress

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and enjoyed an extra day off work (although it went by too quickly). We started off the weekend by driving by our lot just to check on the progress. We weren't expecting to see any change from the last time we were there but to our surprise, we had a foundation.

We talked about putting our hand prints on the back porch if the concrete was still wet enough but the only part that was not dry when we arrived was the driveway. The driveway was already fairly dry so instead of hand prints, we did an imprint of our A&M rings and drew the letter "H" into the concrete. It looks much better than this picture now that the concrete is dry.

After stopping by our house on Friday evening, we met some friends from church for dinner at Babe's. We had a great dinner with Adam, Cortney and Keegan. After dinner Cortney had a great idea for us all to get snow cones from The Snow Cone Lady. The snow cones were really good and we had so much fun sitting outside and talking for a while. Keegan was hilarious and really had fun playing with Bentley.

The rest of our weekend was fairly relaxing and included lots of pool time, family time and eating good food.

We drove by our house again on Sunday evening and they had started to frame the first floor. This was fairly shocking to us as we didn't expect much work to occur over the holiday weekend. It is really fun to see the house begin to take shape.

Thank goodness we live close to where our house is because we like to drive by as often as we can. This evening ,we stopped by and we can now begin to see the roof line.
