You Inspire Me: Surviving the Distance


Jenna from Surviving the Distance is this weeks inspiration. Jenna is a graduate student, Army wife, and mom to four beautiful children! She has a super cute blog, so you should definitely check it out!

Jenna's reading recommendation was Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler.


So many people recommended I read this book, I was pretty excited to read it. This book is a whole bunch of short stories of weird/funny/strange things that have happened in Chelsea's life. I expected to laugh outloud...but I think I only did once or twice. If you are looking for a book kinda like this. I recommend I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max. I obviously like guy humor way more than girl humor!

But I did like the book! I liked seeing what kind of situations she got herself into. I really liked the dog story and the message story. I didn't like the dining in the dark story, mostly because it made me realize I would probably have a panic attack if I ever went to a restaurant like that!

Jenna's movie recommendation was Pretty Woman. Can you believe I've never seen Pretty Woman?!

Pretty Woman is loosely based on a true story of a hooker down on her luck...who is hired by a wealthy business man. She is hired to be his date to social events...but soon they start developing a relationship.

I liked this movie! And it's rare that I like a movie that every girl in America likes! (Example? I hate Dirty Dancing.) I thought Julia Roberts was so cute, even when she wore her ultra-cheesy-stereotypical hooker clothes. I'm so glad I finally watched this movie...a classic that I actually liked!

Jenna recommended TACOS! Oh, I love tacos! I kinda went a little crazy with the cheese combinations on my tacos...one even had bleu cheese on it! It was a simple and yummy night in the kitche..thanks Jenna!


 These were three great recommendations! Thank you so much Jenna! And thanks to my cousin Jessica for sending me the book!
