Birthday Twins

Maureen and I first met when we were freshman at UW and joined the same sorority.  We became fast friends as we bonded over trips to Jack in the Box, study breaks at Odegaard to memorize lyrics to rap music, and late nights spent dancing at Sig Eps. We also soon realized that we share the same birthday!

Sharing a birthday with Maureen has been so much fun with lots of great memories. Going all the way back to when we first celebrated with a trip to Polyesters (the old 18 and over club downtown, appropriately named since I think that's what my shirt was made of to go with my pleather pants) with our closest friends. And now, a decade later (jeez), we still make it a priority to get together for a birthday twin dinner celebration.

This year we met at the Claim Jumpers in Alderwood and took advantage of the food and drink happy hour specials. We got caught up, talked about fun upcoming events (Rachel's wedding extravaganza!), and reminisced about old times.

As much as I may complain about not wanting to share (I am an only child...), sharing this day with one of the greatest friends you can ask for just makes it that much more special. I can't wait to still be celebrating when we're little old ladies. Love you Weiner Boo!
