Today, I'm thankful for my twin-face! And don't you dare tell us that we don't look at all like twins. Cuz I know we don't. But we are twins in every other way :P



I met Grace when I was smallish...like..8 or 9, I think. We both lived in Michigan, and were part of the same homeschool group. We went to each other's birthday parties and sleepovers with mutual friends and everything :) We have lots of awesome memories from our growings-up. When we were about 10 ish, Grace told me that she was moving...to Wisconsin. It was a very sad time. But we promised to write to each other.

And...we totally did. For like...4 years. lol And then we got our own email addresses and entered the world of computers. Our writing of paper letters dwindled down to nothing, but we still kept in touch via email (and eventually gmail chat!). And after a time...we started to find out more and more about each other...and how we loved almost the EXACT same things. Everything from books to movies to hobbies...it was strange. And our families are almost identical too, except she is the oldest of 6 girls and I am the oldest of 4 :P

And...after all of these years of not seeing each other...after she moved again from Wisconsin to Minnesota...and I moved from Michigan to North Carolina...we were finally able to organize a meeting. The first time I had seen her in 7 years. She came down to NC to visit me this past August...and we had so much fun :)


So yes. I am VERY thankful for my twin-face. And I love her very much! :)
