Why my mom and I are twins

picture from Thanksgiving 2006

A couple Sundays ago we were talking about family with some friends of ours on our way home from church. We got on the subject of which parent we're most like and Dan went off about how crazy similar I am to my mom.

As you can see in the picture we look pretty similar. We also have the same knock knees, the same walk and a ridiculous amount of the same mannerisms. The first time Dan met my family he was a little freaked out watching my mom act exactly how I act and vice versa. I think there's a lot of my personality that is similar to my dad, but my outward appearance and mannerisms and reactions are all mom. And I love it : ) I wish I could be more like her and I hope that as I grow older and continue to develop into who I am, I'll be more assertive and more take it or leave it with who I am.

I know I'm a bad daughter and didn't send you a mother's day card yet and I'm late in telling the world how much I looooooooooove you : ) but here it is! I'm glad I'm your twin.
