I have lots of photos to post from our Vegas trip, so watch for them... I actually finished a book on our vacation. I read "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls every quiet minute I could find. It is an incredible autobiography that I can't stop thinking about. The author writes about her life growing up as a daughter of a drunk father and a crazy mom. They lived in cars, shacks and went without food for weeks on end. I could not believe that some of the stories had actually happened. She's my new hero! I highly recommend reading it. Carrie, I know you'll like it! I own it if anyone wants to borrow it. It is one of those stories I'm still thinking through and makes me even more grateful for my life and my wonderful family. Check out this clip to hear a little bit from the book. It features the author and her mother.
