Trip Report

Hey Gang,

So over the 4th of July weekend, Aunt Jenny and I talked about taking a trip to Tunica. The more we talked, the more it all came together. Dad and I would be joining the whole "Hudson clan" on the trip. It is so cool that we can hang with "the other side of he family" and have such a great time. Anyway, Dad and I met Aunt Jenny and Rachel "the Atlas" Ruddock in Tuscaloosa Saturday. The only way we have ever been was go to B'ham and hit 78 until Memphis. Well now we were going 82 until just past Starkville and hit 55 going north. Well as soon as we got on 55 we started a friendly discussion about where we might turn off. Rachel was adament it was Hernando. Knowing what I know now I would have bet the farm on her being right. If for some reason any of you need to know about pig trails in the southeastern states please call Mrs. Ruddock, she is automatic.

We had a wonderful trip that was filled with 3 days of laughter that won't be soon forgotten. We all are trying to get re-adjusted to the real world. I know understand that to not be a slacker I must blog twice a week to satisfy some people. I am going to try to do that. It might get boring.
Until next time.

Good Afternoon

Hey Guys,

Man it sure has been hot in "The Big Town" lately. At least we have been getting some rain to steam everything up. As some of you may know Mom, Dad, D and I have bought a DVD kiosk and we have it in Opp at the Grocery Outlet. We finally got it up and running on Friday and we are still learning it. We are excited about this deal and DeAnn really likes checking the new movies out. Gotta run. More Later.

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

Tomorrow is my best friend Jerry DuBose's 28th birthday. My first memory of J was our first day of kindergarten. I was having a pretty rough day and he was sitting behind me. He has had my back ever since. We talk almost daily and try to keep each other in check. He was the last person I talked to before my wreck and one of the first I saw when I woke up.

They say a good friend will bail you out of jail, but a great friend will be sitting beside you in the cell laughing. Well, Jerry definitely falls in the latter. We have been to Augusta to LA and have already made enough memories to last a lifetime.

Happy Birthday Brother. Love ya.

I guess I'm back from the 4th of July weekend

Hey Guys,

Since we last convened I have been to the beach with the family, worked, and watched some golf. We had our annual Grantham-Stephens 4th of July tribunal at the beach. We had a great time and the water was just awesome. There is no doubt that some beaches are being effected by the spill, but the beaches at PCB are absolutely amazing.

My agency is doing well. I am still picking up policies and have just about gotten everything down where I feel comfortable running it by myself. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will really be able to get out and call on some folks.

This weekend there was the 2-person in Elba. Dad and Reese played together. They sandbagged so Dad could put some more down on his mortgage I guess. I'm kidding, they just played a lot better on Sunday. Saturday DeAnn and I went to a party for a friend and I was as hot as I have ever been. Man it was brutal. Just obscene.

I want to wish my father-in-law Dennis and Robyn Reaves a Happy Birthday!
