Meet Krissy, Sister #2

Out of the three of us sisters, Krissy is the fun one. Anyone who knows her knows that she is the life of the party and always so much fun to be around. Growing up, Krissy was my cool older sister (older by 6 yrs). She was always doing neat things like traveling to exotic places. Kris isn’t afraid to go to completely foreign places to get immersed into the culture, and she never says no to a new adventure. I would anxiously await her return with all of her interesting stories. I especially loved the story about the time she got her palm read by a psychic while she was overseas… you’ll have to ask her about that one;)

Kris also comes up with the most random places to visit and makes it fun. When my cousins, Elise and Audrey, went to visit her in Indiana over the summer, she took them on a road trip to see the world’s largest ball of paint and the girls had a blast! For Elise’s 16^th birthday Kris thought it would be fun to take our cousins on a surprise road trip down to Southern California. Her idea was to trick them into thinking we were going somewhere boring for them, like Joshua Tree National Park, and then surprising them with something really fun. We had them convinced we were going to a place that would have been boring for two teenagers (even though I’m sure Krissy could have made Joshua Tree National Park a fun trip for them) for several days until we were literally in the Disneyland parking garage.

Krissy has probably traveled for leisure the most out of all of us and she certainly has been to the most foreign countries. Let’s see how many I can name: Spain, France, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, London, lots of places in the US, and most recently, Greece. She got her degree in Spanish at Anderson University in Indiana, and lived in Chile for about six months while in college. She became fluent in Spanish when she was in Chile (which I am super jealous of), and this has helped her get around in a lot of the other places she’s traveled to. Most recently she lived in Indiana, where there are actually four seasons, for a couple of years while working for Anderson University as the West Coast admissions counselor. Her job entailed recruiting students to the school among other things on the “West Coast”, which was pretty much anything west of Indiana. So, Krissy has done her fair share of traveling for her job alone, doing shows and events to promote the school.

In May 2010, Krissy got married to David (the man of her dreams). She just moved up to the Seattle area, where it rains ten months out of the year, to be with him. Although she has visited Seattle several times, she is still going to have lots of new places to explore there. Kris will be juggling a new job and a masters program to be a school counselor while visiting all of these new places with her hubby.
