5 Things About Me


Catherine tagged me to do a "5 Facts About Me" post, so here goes nothing...

Naturally, I wanted to find a really random/embarrassing picture to go with my 5 random facts. This is from our 1 year anniversary in Vegas. I'm not sure why/when I took this, but it's definitely a selfie.

Intense huh?


Now that you are done giggling at that picture...

1. I have been to Italy 3 times and I am dying to go back! I would live there if it weren't such a hassle to up and move. It is such a beautiful country, with nice people and good food. What's not to love? The third time was a study abroad trip and Garrett and I went together. While there I took a ceramics class as well as a cooking class. Saying that makes me feel cool.

Cooking teacher, and me, with my tortellini. YUM!


2. I {sort of} minored in American Sign Language. The classes were fun, for the most part, until the last one. My teacher was actually deaf and therefore we could no longer "cheat" and speak out loud when we were lost. She also made us do embarrassing things like get up in front of the class and sign a song. I hated doing that. I ended up earning a big fat F in that class but A's in all of the other ASL classes I took. That one class kept me from actually earning my minor. Oops.

3. Since I mentioned this with the first picture, I figured it might as well get it's own number. Garrett and I went to Vegas for our 1 year anniversary and it was fun! I want to go back so bad! It's fairly cheap to go there and it's an "up all night" kind of place. I loved it! We stayed at the Stratosphere and I would not recommend staying there. It's not the nicest and it's quite a walk from the strip when you've been walking all day.

Garrett surprised me with a fancy dinner and limo ride around the strip on our actual anniversary. I'm pretty sure that was the first time he legitimately surprised me {besides proposing}. It was awesome. 
 You can see the actual post here.


How cool does G look in this picture? Hahahaha


4. I am left handed. And...that's about all there is to say about that.

5. One of the first things we did when we moved to Denver was go to the Denver Aquarium. I stuck my hand in one of the smaller aquariums because it was about waist high and begging me to stick my hand in there. I got bit by one of the fish and it hurt!


Thanks for tagging me Catherine! : ) 

Happy Hump Day!

  1. I like that picture Court... I mean Whitney!! I think you look hot!

    We love Vegas too! I love when I meet others who love Vegas like we do.

    I can't believe you've been to Italy that many times. I want to go badly if only just once.

    And I can't believe you were bit by a fish! Fish has issues.

  3. Im headed to Vegas again at the end of the month. I can't wait! I also took ASL in college, but all of my professors were deaf. I really liked that, because we really did have to learn it.

    1. I would totally love a traveling partner to go with! When did you study abroad? We went in June of 2007. I feel like that was forever ago. I miss it all the time to and am dying to go back!

  7. You look gorgeous in that pic! Love it. You got 2 more extra visits to Italy then me. No fair! I didn't know fish could bite. I'm going to Vegas again in a few months. Love it...although my energy out there isn't what it used to be. Stratosphere is way far! I've never stayed there but I've walked there from the other end of the strip. How fun to have a limo in Vegas.

  10. You are insanely beautiful!!!!!

    I LOVE THAT FIRST SELFIE!
    And the photo of Garrett in the limo.. CLASSIC! LOL!

    I'm jealous you've been to Italy THREE times! I've been to France and London once but was too young and stubborn to *really* appreciate the beauty. So naturally I'm dying to return ;)

    I'm a lefty too!!! HIGH FIVE!!! ;)

    1. You are SO sweet! Always make me feel so good about myself!
      Isn't that picture of Garrett hilarious? It looks so cheesy.

      Ahh you've been to France AND London?? I am jealous of you! I know what you mean about being young and not really appreciating it, I feel that way about Italy too kind of. I was in high school the first two times and I feel like if I went now it would be a completely different experience.

      HIGH FIVE for being a lefty!!! : )

  11. Andrew and I went to Vegas together too and loved it! It's such a great place to go. We stayed at the MGM Grand. I totally recommend staying there if you go again.

    That's so sweet that he got you a private limo! The pictures are awesome. :)

  13. I am a lefty too! Jealous about Italy but that is sooooo cool! Especially the cooking class, what a great opportunity! And YES! Vegas is awesome! The one time I went, I surprised my guy but ended up getting sick the two weeks before and had no energy when we were there. We are planning a trip for this summer and it should be much better!

  16. The fish actually bit you?? Oh man! I didn't know they would do that! I'm left-handed too, and my brother just started taking ASL classes in college. His very first class, his teacher was really deaf, and he said that was quite the experience, being plunged into the language like that. He really enjoyed it, though.
