Well, I finally finished my gigantic book: What Hath God Wrought by Daniel Walker Howe. This tells the story of America in the early 1800s. It is 800 pages packed with detail. Howe writes like he is telling a fireside story. This book avoids making an argument in any direction, but simply explains the transformation of America. It is interesting and full of facts. There were a few parts where Howe seemed to get side tracked and some parts of chapters didn't seem to fit together. Overall, I enjoyed it. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart. It is meaty!
I also read Ree Drummond's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels last week. Ree writes a blog called The Pioneer Woman. Her book tells the story of how she met her husband and their courtship. Her style is blunt and frank. She tells it like it is in an open manner that people can relate to. She is real and easy to relate to. I love reading her blog and I loved reading her story even more.
To highlight the week, we traveled to Montana to meet The Pioneer Woman. My sister Kori blogged about it here. Check out the pictures and captions. It was a great weekend. My mom, dad, Kori, Cache, and cousin Mat all made the trek. It was fun to hang out with my Grandparents, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Greg, Counsin Josh, and see Great Falls. I love that town. It was a great weekend with family, fun, and memories.
Thanks to everyone!
