Happy Birthday Tanner & Taylor!

15 years ago our lives were blessed times two. Tanner and Taylor entered the world 11 weeks early and only 3 pounds each. Each of them was a fighter and very determined. These same characteristics are with them today.

15 is a "unique" age. They both are starting to stretch their wings and have some independence but at the same time are comforted in knowing there are guidlines and expectations for them.

Tanner & Taylor have always been the best of friends. Rarely did you ever see one without the other. As they first started school, they became their own person, each with their own personality, interests and friends, but the bond between them has never faded. They disagree with one another, they encourage each other and they certainly love one another. "I've got your back" certainly is reflective of their relationship.

Being a twin doesn't come without its frustrations. They will both tell of the questions they dislike the most. Here are a few:
*Are you a twin? (while standing right next to each other)
*Which one are you?
*Where is your brother?

But there are some perks that come along with it as well:
*There is always someone to talk to (even late into the night)
*Although people may not remember "which one" you are, they always remember you.
*It's a great conversation starter :).

So..........Happy 15th Birthday Tanner & Taylor!
