My book arrived!

Still no word from Seattle children's hospital.  I really hope i hear back from them soon! I want this job SO baaaddd!!!


Anyway, i got home to my new book! I pre-ordered this book back in January, so it was a nice surprise when i checked the mail and saw it sitting there.  I started reading my book right away.  I love Kelle Hampton's blog, she is such a great writer.  She is such an awesome mom and she has the cutest girls.  

Miley and I cuddled on the couch and I read until Jon got home from work.  
Once Jon got home from work, we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden, I've been craving their salad and breadsticks, and i finally got them! :)  Dinner was great, and this is the last day Jon and I get to hang out, because he leaves to San Diego tomorrow.

Book Review


I give this book:
This is a book about a Jaycee Dugard, who she was kidnaped on her way to school when she was 11.  She was held captive in her kidnapers back yard for 18 years and had 2 daughters by him.  This book is written by her, and she talks about the 18 years she was held prisoner, when she was found and what her life is like now.  

This is such an amazing story, that captivated me when i first heard that she was found.  Jaycee is obviously a very strong person to have been able to survive everything her kidnapper put her through. 

The reason for my 3 stars is because there are some points in the book that were really hard to read.  She really didn't hold anything back and truly painted a picture for you as you read.  She painted such a great picture that i got a few nightmares reading the book.  It just so sad and crazy that things like this happened everyday around the world.  And its really amazing reading this story firsthand from the survivor.  

I would recommend this book to a friend because this is a very inspiring story about survival.
