I am thankful for. . . being a TWIN

It really was a lot of fun this year to be able to reflect a little more about my birthday. I was pretty bummed because this year and last year are the first couple years Barrett and I haven't been able to celebrate our birthday together. I had several people ask me this year what I thought about sharing a birthday and to answer that question I would have to say that I absolutely love it! I love being a twin! I have had a companion with me my entire life. In school I knew I always would know somebody in my school and if we had to be teamed up I knew who was already going to be my partner. It meant I had somebody watching out for me and I knew that if I wasn't good he would hear about it. I always had somebody I could count on. It always brightened my day at school to see Barrett in the hall and senior year I loved having vocab together and being known as the VTs (Vaughan Twins). We have had terrible fights but we have also shared many many laughs and tears and tons of memories. I always loved having him hop into my room and at the foot of my bed or on the floor which meant he wanted to talk. I love him inviting me to go to the store with him or running errands with him just so we can catch up and have a good time. He has been my support when I needed him most and when I needed a shoulder to cry on he was there. We are also very straight forward with eachother and I think in many cases we understand and know eachother better than anybody else in the world does. Haha when the radio in the jetta didn't work Barrett became the radio so we would have music. We worked together and became really good friends during that time. I look up to him. He is my big brother and I love him very much. Barrett I am so proud to have you as my brother and one of my best friends but especially to have you as my awesome twin! Love you!














I would also suck on his nose. Barrett used to use that picture and claim that I "sucked his brains out" and that is why he had me help him with school work.
