Congrats to My TWIN!!!

Wow... they are one HOTT couple!

Words cannot describe how excited I am for my cousin/twin, Kristin, to be ENGAGED!  Cory is a great guy, and I look forward to having him as a member of my extended family.  I thought I was on Cloud 9 after my engagment, but Kristin's engagment within a week put me on at least Cloud 15! :o)

Background Story Time:
Growing up, I always enjoyed the family get-togethers with my Dad's side of the family.  Not only did I love going over to Grandma and Grandpa Kuhn's house, but I also LOVED my cousins.  Lisa is a year older than me, Kristin is a year younger than me, and Laura is two years younger.  These wonderful ladies are more than just family... they're some of my closest friends.  No matter how long we go between seeing each other, we can always pick right up where we left off and talk for hours.

When we were younger, we used to play house ALL THE TIME (hey, what little girls don't love to play house?!?).  Lisa would always be the mom.  She was the supportive, nurturing one of the group.  Laura would be the baby or the dog.  She was the youngest, so that was fitting.  Kristin and I wanted to be the same, so we would be the twin teenage daughters.  We would "sneak out" to meet our boyfriends after getting grounded by Mom, or we imitated the "Saved By The Bell" characters, being cheerleaders, going to school, etc.  Whatever one of us did, the other did as well.  We loved being "twins."  

As we got to college, we both had planned to go out of state for school, but ended up being a couple hours from home.  We did, however, pick different majors.  But not long into college (and within a week or so of each other), we both switched our majors to Math Education.  We even student-taught during the same semester and graduated at the same time (I was on the 5-year plan :o).

In true twin style, our engagments would be very similar as well.  Just days after my engagment, Kristin and Cory rented a small airplane and a flight instructor in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  They flew over Omaha (where they live now) and Lincoln (where they went to school).  While over Memorial Stadium, Cory proposed. 

Neither of us actually got engaged IN Memorial Stadium, but we both got our proposals about as close as the guys could get it.  Do our guys know us or what???

Kristin's wedding will end up being months before mine (they've been dating much longer than Jason and me, so she's had more time to plan), but I'm sure we'll be comparing notes and helping each other along the way.  I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered changing my wedding time-frame to match hers for just a moment (don't worry, it's not changing).

Congrats to Kristin, my twin, and Cory, my soon-to-be psuedo-brother-in-law!  I'm almost as excited for your wedding as I am my own!
