Having my sweet sister with me on my birthday was a real treat. It was so special and memorable!
We haven't seen each other for a year but have been in contact from time to time throughout the school year. She is also a teacher! So, there is a lot to update, connect and catch up on.
We have some similarities, but we are also opposites. Where I am reserved, she is loud and talkative. Where I am more talkative, she listens and makes me laugh. Where I love thrifting and am naturally a spender, she enjoys seeing what I bought and commenting. The other morning, when I was wearing what I bought, she said 'That is so Colleen'.
Where she is stronger headed and determined, I am slower and a thinker. Where her birthday is the beginning of winter, mine is the beginning of summer. Where I am a cat lover, she is also, and laughs at my intensity and silliness of loving our cats a little too much.
Where I often leave my hair wavy curly, she blows dry her hair straight. She did blow dry my hair sleek and straight the night before my birthday!
I am working at the school where she went for Elementary School.
We are 11.5 years apart. We have the same Alma Mater.
