Meet the Cast Monday #18: Cousin Whitney

Cousin Whitney has been a regular on the blog, particularly in the travel-related posts. She and I have been all over together.....Europe, Mexico, New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco....and hopefully we still have lots more trips to come! She teaches special education to kindergarten through third graders (which sounds like torture to me, so bless her for doing it!) She's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet!

So......everyone say hello to Cousin Whitney!

What was the coolest trip that you've ever taken?

A trip to Switzerland about a year and a half ago. I really liked going to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. I also liked paddle boating on Lake Geneva and the fact that when the waves got rough, Tiffany and I both grabbed for Cousin Swiss Mister's camera to be sure it was safe. I also really liked everything we saw in Rome except when I almost fainted after climbing so many steps and there being so many people at the top of St. Peter's Bascilica. {Yes, thinking I was going to have to lug her DOWN all those stairs was a little concerning to me as well!}

What kind of guy are you looking for?

A guy who works hard, knows how to treat a girl, and goes to church. {Aren't we all, sister!}

What is the best part about your job?

Helping students learn and seeing the light bulb go off in their head when they understand a concept.

What is the scariest thing that you've ever done?

Ride a city bus to down town Baltimore. Tiffany, College Roomie, and I were the only two white girls on the bus that was headed into downtown Baltimore. Tiffany and I were sitting together on the bus and College Roomie got separated from us. So I remeber Tiffany calling out her name every once in a while to make sure that she was still alive. I really wanted to get off of the bus, but Tiffany said,"Whitney look around, we are not getting off the bus here!" because it looked even more dangerous outside. Finally, some nice lady told us how to stop the bus so we could get off and when we saw the tourist area, we ran for it. So, needless to say, we took a taxi back to the hotel. {Yea, for real, this was probably one of the top 2 or 3 scariest moments of my life as well.....I thought for sure we'd end up on the news that night! You read the whole story here.}
If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money?

Give some to St. Jude, send mom and dad on an Alaskan cruise, and invest the rest.

What is one (or more) item(s) on your bucket list?

Don't really have a bucket list. {This is not acceptable...I'll start working on her getting one ASAP!}
