Yeah, I learned more about Tess! These are great to do. You see and talk to someone but there are some things you just never learn about people!

#7 No need to be sorry, it was just one chapter of my life. I don't let it define me.

#10 Yes, I met Pat when I went to college. I worked at Taco John's and he was friends with my manager, Cherie and he worked with Matt at Prostrollos who married my best friend from college.
