Update

     So I realize that its been ages since I posted and I am very sorry!
A lot has been going on and I keep having to add on to this post but hopefully it will get posted with this latest addition.
     One of the big things that has happened to me since I last posted was that a qualified for HOSA nationals in Orlando Florida and thanks to peoples generosity both Engineer sis and I will be attending! We are so excited! At the state level I participated in 2 events, one was a knowledge test and one was a nursing assisting event. Both required a written test and the nursing assisting required a practical test also.  I took both written test at the beginning of March and the practical was at the competition. Because I had taken the written test for the knowledge test before state I forgot that had even participated in that event.  So I was very shocked when I placed 2nd!
     We have also started practicing for the musical for the local HS homeschoolers. We are doing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dream Coat and I am the sphinx/Queen Victoria. My solo is very eastern sounding which I am very excited about.
     We had our last day of Sunday school last week. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to teach these kids this year they have been so amazing! It was the sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women which is special to me because my name Saint is Mary Magdelene I brought my Icon to show the kids and they were very excited!
This is from the summer after she was born.

Last Sunday was also my dear Rabbits birthday! She is 10 and I can't believe it! She has an insane talent for driving me up the wall. But she is the best rabbit ever and always has been! She is so big and beautiful. Lots of Love <3




Thats all for now.

Being a twin

I thought I would write a little bit about being a twin. One of the first questions most people ask us when they find out we are twins is what is it like to be a twin and our response has always been the same: we were never not twins. It is just part of our life, we are so used to it we don't even understand what they mean by that question.
      We are best friends and always have been. We never used to think about each other as friends let alone best friends. At some point it occurred to me that we really were friends and I don't know why it took me so long to realize.
     We have so many inside jokes that I can't even imagine counting them. Sometimes at dinner when somebody says something, we just look at each other and burst out laughing, confusing everybody else which just makes us laugh more. 
I sometimes cry just because she is upset and crying. We tell each other everything. We finish each others sentences. We know exactly how to push one another's buttons. We fight! Yes you read that right, we fight a lot. But we can never stay mad at each other for more than 1/2 an hour. Sometimes when I am mad at her I try not to talk to here and I always fail within 5 minutes.

But one of the most important things about us as twins is we are different from each other. I am more outgoing and love hangingout with tons of people, she would rather spend one on one time. She understands and fixes things I don't even know exist. We have different ambitions, she wants to go into engineering and I want to be a nurse midwife. We absolutely do not want to go to the same college. Because of our differences we work well together, we are a team, and we are always there to support one another.
Love You Sus!
