Where Are They Now - Friday, March 11, 2016

Hello fans,

I have to admit that I binge watched the entire season of Fuller House when it came out on Netflix. I grew up watching Full House and I was super excited to reunite with DJ and Stephanie Tanner, and of course, Kimmy Gibler!

I think that actress Candace Cameron Bure, who plays DJ (now Fuller), looks great! She also seems to truly enjoy doing the show. I wanted to find out more about what else she has been up to over the years, so this week we are going to find out!

Take care,
Melissa
