This weeks recommendations are from Kerri of The Glamorous Life of An Army Wife. Kerri is the beautiful mother of two boys and an Army wife. I love her post titled "I've Decided." I agree that apple pie should be considered a vegetable and that sometimes all I want to do is curl up and watch a movie with my Mom! Check out her blog, I love it!
Kerri recommended that I watch Band of Brothers. I've heard a lot about this series, Danny and my Dad talk about it all the time!
Band of Brothers is a ten part mini-series. It is centered around Easy Company and their experiences starting in basic training and ending with the end of the war. Everything is based on interviews with real Easy Company veterans. All characters are based on real people.
I watched the first episode in the series and really liked it! Easy Company meets their Captain who is very strict...but very likeable (even though I don't like David Schwimmer!) If you get a chance Wikipedia "Herbert Sobel." They did such a great job casting this role..they could be related!
I 100% recommend this series and it makes total sense why everyone I know talks about it. Just knowing that these events actually took place is inspiring!
Kerri's reading recommendation was Message from Nam by Danielle Steel. Like everyone in the world I've heard of Danielle Steel and know that her name is synonymous with cheesy love stories. This is the first book I have ever read by her.
Message From Nam spans over many years. During the first 8 chapters I tried to keep track of how many years were flying by...my rough guess is 6...and that's not even half way through the book!
The main character of the book is Paxton, who eventually becomes a journalist in Vietnam. The book is about how her life changes and how the lives around her change. But I think my favorite part of the book were her college years...I loved her boyfriend Peter!
This is a great cheesy love story type of a read. I recommend it!
Wine, bread, and cheese was the great meal recommendation! Seriously, Kerri...this is one of our favorite things. We are members of a winery so we cracked open our latest bottle of Duplin wine, got a big ol' baguette and two cheeses. I'd say this was a night made in heaven!

These were all great recommendations! I loved every part of it! Thank you so much Kerri!
