I have always had a close bond with my twin sister, Buffie. We went to the same college, worked at the same supermarket during college, and have both been working at the same financial company for the last eight years (in different departments).

My sister Buffie is married, with two kids. She and her husband met on a blind date around seven years ago. I have a wonderful boyfriend and he and I met on a blind date a little over two years ago.

One of our favorite twin stories to tell is about one morning, when we were in eighth grade. I came downstairs to have some cereal, and I poured some cereal in a bowl, then grabbed the Coke from the refrigerator and was just about to pour it into my cereal when I realized that I had grabbed the Coke instead of the milk.

My dad kind of chuckled and then I poured the milk in, ate my cereal, and went back upstairs to finish getting ready for school. While I was getting ready for school, I heard my dad laughing really loud. I poked my head down the stairs and asked what was so funny. He said that he was laughing because my twin sister had just poured Coke in her cereal!

He couldn't believe that I had almost made such a silly mistake, and then my sister comes down later and does the same thing (but didn't catch herself before pouring).

My sister and I are closer to each other than any other sisters I know. Our personalities are identical, our interests are identical, and we always think the same way!
