Twinkie Tues-Wednesday?
My sister and I….sigh
We love and fight with each other like nobody’s business! Starting with clothes from each other’s closets, sharing a car growing up, starting our first job together. We’ve been through it all TOGETHER.
I’m so BEYOND happy for her that she’s finally found happiness with Vinny and Jarrett has a great Daddy. God truly answered prayers.
Some people ask us what it’s like to be a twin, but it’s hard to describe. It’s especially hard living so far from each other. But absence makes the heart grow fonder right? So when we see each other we get so excited….then we fight again…then we make up! Ha ha! It’s a vicious cycle!
As we grow older things have changed, and it’s definitely hard to be separated. No matter what I know we can always pick up where we left off. We disagree a LOT….but it’s crazy how similar we are on other things.
Growing up a twin is having someone to do everything with. We started school together ( you have a friend for every grade you start so you aren’t alone) That makes it harder for you to stand on your own when the time comes to grow up. We had our first job together, shared a car, never shared boyfriends….we did date brothers for a hot second. Ha ha!
Everything is always “equal” and “fair” because if one of us got something the other liked better then queue the CRAZY crying!
Anyway, it’s a relationship like none other. But it’s one I’d never mess with or change.
I love being a twin 🙂
We always said if our husbands die first we’ll move in together and hot roll our hair. I guess we came into the world together and if we have to we can go out the same way! At least I have a place to go right?

The Moo Moo: Not Just for Grandma
When I get home from work the first thing I usually do is run to my room and take off all my clothes and put on my “Moo Moo”.
For as long as I can remember my Grandma and my Mom have worn things like this:
This is usually referred to as a housecoat or “duster”.
Whelp. I’m slowly morphing into that….
I bought this swim cover at Lands End earlier this year and have never actually worn it AS a swim cover…but let me tell you it makes the perfect Moo Moo!
My child loves to be in every single photo 🙂 He’s legit. I love him. And that mirror is DIRTY! I posted my Moo Moo on Instagram last night and I loved hearing that I’m not the only one who is morphing into granny wear.
Give me my “duster” and my Moscato and I’m a happy girl!
13 Years
Today is our 13 year anniversary 🙂
We celebrated over the weekend and saw a movie called Lucy….which was a weird movie in my opinion. Terence’s Dad kept Connor for us so we could spend some time together and you know how it is after you have a kid you don’t know what to do with yourself when you are ALONE! Ha ha!
No, really we had a great time movie watching, dining, and just talking about life & the future.
We’ve had a lot of ups and downs through the years, but I can honestly say there is nobody I’d rather spend life with. Terence is my rock. He’s a great husband, daddy, and provider. Each year that goes by I love him more and more. Although I don’t always show it, I hope he knows how special he is to me.
I love you baby and here’s to another 50 years <3
Throwback to our wedding day. No digital photos and I had just gotten a cell phone because beepers were phasing out. Isn’t that crazy? It makes me feel old!
Terence and I when we were dating. I laugh at us now, we thought we were so cool back then. We fell hard and fast for each other. But I’m so glad we found each other early in life. That just means God gave us more time together on this Earth. I honestly don’t think we would be where we are, or the people we are today unless we found each other then. Isn’t it amazing how God has all those things laid out for you before you even know about them? He brought this Texas boy all the way to Arkansas just for me….and I’m forever thankful.
I may have a few extra wrinkles now and I’m definitely not that skinny anymore, but I hope Terence always looks at me like I’m beautiful. Because I’ll always look at him like he’s the love of my life…..forever. That’s the joy of spending life together….you get to experience it all. Thank you Lord for loving us and always providing. Thank you Lord for this man and the love we have. xoxo
