Engaged

This week, Maddie and Patrick Hodge became officially engaged.  We knew there were some discussions about this subject between them, but weren't sure of the timing of things.  Now it is official!  They are talking about having the wedding in early 2016 in Los Angeles.  The reaction here at home has been wide.  We are excited to be gaining a son/brother-in-law, but sad to be losing a daughter/sister (in a sense).  Allie is especially sad that her sister is not going to return home to live again.  Her only comfort is that after August, she will only have one brother to contend with instead of two!  I would post a picture, but I really don't have anything to post yet, as they are in Utah!
