He spent time with each of us telling us how much he loved us and how proud he was of us. He fought in WWII and never talked about the war. He never needed to, we all knew what had happened and can really only imagine what he had been through and had seen. He had the strength of a titan, but the heart of gold.

Had my scholarship and was headed into the crazy world of dancing up until that moment.

How do you feel about cookies? Is there any other more perfect dessert on this planet? I mean, you can eat as many as you want to get your fill, there are so many different kinds and different flavors, you can buy them, bake them or even freeze them.
And last but not least, Do you like Turtles? Ok? Turtles as in animal or turtles as in the delicious chocolate/carmel candy? Actually, I like them both!
Thanks ladies... Can't wait to read all of your answers soon!!!!
1. I TOTALLY forgot about that Juice Newton song. I was curious, so I looked it up- The beginning was totally unfamiliar, so I assumed I'd never heard it. But then the chorus came in and I was like ohhhh, yeah.
2. I misread your bad habit just as "drinking way too much." I was very impressed with your candor ;p
Yay! Loved learning more about you!! You handled that long list of questions like a champ
Thanks for going first!!
