My other half....happy B-day!

I turn the big 26 tomorrow, which of course means my twinner does too!! She already beat me to this post, the little stinker but I am still going to do one for her too. First off Jen, are we seriously this old. When do you start to feel old, cause I still feel the same way I did at 17, 19, 22...whatever I feel no different. Maybe not quite as cute and skinny but hey, having kids does that to ya. Anyways, as is tradition I wanted to name the top 5 reasons I love my twin so much.....

1. Her sense of humor. Okay she mentioned the exact same thing in her post, but it is true. Her and I have the most twisted sense of humor, well, and our dad. We think the strangest things are funny and we can go on and on laughing about it. If I ever say something funny or think about something that makes me laugh, Jen is the first person I call cause I know she will appreciate it too. We also enjoy talking about the same kinds of things, stupid things that most people would find incredibly boring. However her and I are on the exact same page, just last night we spent 45 minutes talking about the episode of "The Batchelor" we just watched. Thiago makes fun cause he says between the time I reviewed the 2 hour episode with both my sisters, I could have watched the entire thing over again. Thats okay...we enjoyed the conversation. Anyways, Jen this is for you...do some of these items bring a smile to your face. Skip me, Matthew Mconahunk, Meredith (Viera vs. Grey's Anatomy), I wash you, I dry you, and Brooks and Dunn. Just to name a few.

2. Her compassion. My sister has the softest heart in all the world. Their just isn't a mean bone in her entire body, she is seriously the kindest person I know. I can be a little snobbish sometimes, I admit it. In school people used to refer to Jen as the nice twin and me as the bratty twin. Which is probably kinda true. I like to think we are both kinda nice though. Anyways, like I said Jenny has so much compassion and love for other people. She is genuinely nice. She never gossips, is never two-faced, never makes fun, nothing. She sees the good in everyone and even if their is no good in them she still treats them as if they are the queen of the world. She is so incredibly kind, I wish I could be more like that.

3. Great listener. Whatever my problem is Jen is my go-to person. Ashley is as sweet as they come, but she just ends up crying with me and I have to comfort her instead of the other way around. My mom tells me to suck it up and we all have problems, so to stop self-pittying. And Thiago, all he does is think of these ridiculous ways to solve the problem. He says things like "well if I were you". I swear don't men know sometimes we just want someone to listen. Well Jen is my listener. She lets me cry it out, and then in her soft little motherly way she tells me what I need to hear. That all is not lost, and she gives me reason to hope and makes me see my problems in a postive light. She has pulled me through so many trials and dark times. Love her for that.

4. Her example to me. This girl is as good as gold. I can count on one hand the things she has done wrong in her life. She is a parents absolute dream. Me and Ashley were good girls too, but we defintely gave our parents some trouble. Nothing to serious, we just weren't the saints that Jenny was, well is. She is a constant reminder of what I need to be. I tell you what she does no wrong. I look up to her as a sister, friend, mother, daughter, just overall person. This world needs more Jenny's in it.

5. And last but not least, she is my other half. Need I say more. We are twins, that is a bond like no other. We are complete opposites, yet she understands me the way no one else does. She knows what I am thinking before I even say it. We have gone through everything in this life together, I do not know what my world would be like without my twin. I have a special love for her that I share with no one else. Love you little twin, you know this. Happy Birthday, so glad that after our 3 years apart (stupid law school) we are finally together again on our birthday. No one else I would rather share my day with. Love ya Dunn...or should I say Brooks. Ha-ha!!
