P.S. Please forgive the formatting. I spent so much time trying to get it right, and it just isn't working. It looks fine one second and then goes crazy the next. So, forgive me for that. Hahaha.

P.P.S. What is your preference for my revealing your match? Should I make mini posts throughout the month as the answers come in and the matches are made, or should I reveal them all with my wrap up post at the end of the month? Please let me know in the comments!
