two of a kind

You know what they say-- a picture is worth a thousand words, and we believe this shot perfectly captures our relationship.  A little bit odd, weird and funny faces, but always genuine (and ususally lots of giggles).

Contrary to our dominant handedness, Jen is on the left and Sara is on the right.

And now, onto our bios.  To keep things interesting, we decided to write each other's instead of our own.  We like a challenge and it ensures that you will get the real deal truth.

Sara is the older twin by two minutes, which is why her bio comes first.  She was the leader when we were kids and often got us in trouble by doing mischievous things like "trimming" (i.e. hacking) my bangs or sticking her fingers in a freshly iced cake, which she vehemently denied.  

While we are both artistic, Sar's interests are strongly rooted in writing.  She is an extremely talented creative writer and poet (she was published in Chicken Soup for the Soul!) and is venturing into creating paper goods.  [I must insert here that I, Jen, struggle with writing and poetry gives me a headache. How can two people, who were essentially one to start out with, have such varied talents?].

Currently, Sara is an english teacher and while she serves all different types of students, she works with many special needs kids.  As she is not much older than many of her students, she tends to identify with where they are and what they struggle with (and I think show strong compassion and mentorship).   Her favorite activities include reading, writing (at coffee shops), trying new recipes and her most favorite-- napping.
