Life as we know it...crazy!

Well people, life has been totally crazy these past two weeks! I have been studying super hard for anatomy, and it started to pay off! I could actually understand what was going on and I am loving learning more ha ha even though it was kind of overwhelming getting ready for my test. Woot woot! I am still loving my Nutrition  class and I am kind of being a crazy person about what I eat... I just really enjoy the value of what I put in my body and how it can effect my health.

Ever since we were little, we have had basically the same interests and friends. Now even though we are twins, we are very very different. I have to laugh when people say, "You guys are so much alike," or "Have you guys switched places? God made us sisters but chance made us best friends.

Growing up I definitely took for granted sharing every single thing with her: clothes, conversations, smiles, tears, boys (ha ha that's another story), a room, a car, pretty much what was mine was hers and visa versa. When it was time to go to college she moved out to St. George and I stayed here
