To My Bestest Sister... and Friend


Once Rachel told me that I was her best friend.
I was touched so I said "Thanks!" and left it at that.
She thought that that meant that she wasn't my best friend and I have been trying ever since to explain to her that she is my best friend.

But she is my best friend.


People always say to us "Do you ever wish you didn't have to share a birthday?"
Or
"What it's like to be twins?"

 No! I have never once in my life wished I didn't have to share a birthday.

And as for what it's like to be a twin:
It's hard to explain what it's like to be a twin.
It's kind of hard to explain something that you have always been.
It's like asking someone who has been blind from birth what it's like to be blind.
But I'll tell you one thing: It's a whole lot of fun being a twin!!!
You are never alone.
And life is NEVER, EVER boring!

In our house we are devided up with two kids in each bedroom.
Rachel and I share a bedroom while Jessica and Emily share one right down the hall.
Long after bedtime(9:30) Jessica and Emily (the model children) are quietly reading. The light of their little lamps cast a faint glow while down the hall Rachel and I are still talking and laughing and usually cleaning with the lights on and the music playing.

We have so much fun together that I can't imagine what it's like to not have a twin.
I feel sorry for people who don't have a twin.

Happy birthday to my best friend!!!
Love,
You best friend! :)

The Love of God


 
Lyrics:
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.



When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.


Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.



Chorus:
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.

The Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 In C Minor

Recently I have tried to "expand" my knowledge of classical music.
Right now it is limited mostly to Bach and violin concertos.
And seeing how much I love concertos(they are my favorite form of classical music)I decided to try listening to some piano concertos.
So I made a station on Pandora.com (what did I ever do before Pandora?!) and started listening to some piano concertos!
The first one I came to was this Rachmaninov concerto.
I kind of liked it and I hope you like it too.

1st movement


2nd movement

Wedding Days

After attending a friends wedding my siblings decided that they wanted to play wedding too.
The "wedding" was a huge success with lots of happy guest and tacos served afterwards at the "reception"!



Emily was one of the guests.I don't know why she is holding my violin.


Jamie, the maid of honor.


Sarah, the happy bride.


Jess and I were the musicians.



The procession.

The Anonymous pastor. She told me not to say who it was but you can probably guess.





...and they lived happily ever after.
The end.
