Meet the Cast Monday #43: Cousin Kevin's Accountant

You all remember Cousin Kevin?  Well today you are meeting his accountant (she's totally not an accountant but my little cousin coined the accountant title and it stuck!)  She's hilarious, takes zero crap from Cousin Kevin, and has a fudge company that is growing like gang busters.  And she does awesome things like jumping off of the Stratosphere in Vegas.  You all want to be friends with this lady for sure.  

Meet Cousin Kevin's Accountant.

You grew up in small town NM and now live in a big city--what's the best and worst part of that?

Best:  Not running into anyone you know at Wal Mart. 

Worst:  Not running into anyone you know at Wal Mart.  {Love it!}

Seriously ..

Best:  Anything you want or need can be found within a 30 mile radius.

Worst:  My kids driving on Interstates and Highways on a regular basis.

Favorite song?

Tell us a funny story about Cousin Kevin.

Well this is hard to narrow down . . one day Kevin and I pulled into a gas station.  He got out and started fueling up his truck.  I got out of the truck and noticed a nice African American woman fueling up her car on the other side.  I proceeded to walk across the parking lot to go into the convenience store and turned around and yelled to Kevin “do you want anything?” to which Kevin yelled back “Coffee – BLACK – Like I like my women”.  Ya .. he did that.  {He is always doing things like this.  I thought she might tell about the time we were all at BWW after the mud run and the waitress said that Cousin Kevin's Accountant looked familiar, to which he responded "yea, she's a porn star."}

 You've built several businesses, give us your best piece of business advice.

Hire employees that started working when they were a teenager.  In most cases, these individuals are hardworking, reliable and responsible.

Always trust your gut!

If you could go back and relive one day, what would that be?

My favorite question.  If I could go back and relive a day and make a change it would be the day I agreed to make fudge for VSM.  If it is to go back and relive a day exactly as it were . . it would be any day that my kids were babies.  It is so hard to remember those days.  They went by way to fast.

Where is the best place you have ever visited?

Ground Zero – that place makes you remember what is important in life.

Did you ever think you'd own a fudge company?

NEVER.  I have always loved fudge but never in a million years did I think I would be trying to make a living with it.  {Their fudge is seriously AMAZING.  Check it out here.}

I'm always curious what people who come in from "the outside" think of our crazy family.  You've now met everyone...be honest...what were your initial thoughts?

“Oh my God, are me and Kevin related?”  Your family is so much like mine.  I think it is why you are all so easy to love.  {God bless her for having to deal with two sets of us if this is true!}

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

She already checked off jumping off the Stratosphere

Bora Bora ;-)  {I'm still standing by...}

 Ride in an F-16 or any type of fighter jet.

Ride in a hot air balloon.

Karaoke  {I know or a fact this happens on a weekly basis in your town....how have you not checked this off?  We're doing this when I move there!}
