Today was a long day at work...a verryyy long day. I had a nine hour shift, which most of you are like "Sooo...that is my regular day at work or that is a short shift for me" but for working at a daycare, that is one heck of a long day with only a half an hour break. Most people get the luxary in their jobs to sit and relax for their lunches...I am usaully just about to take my first bite of my lunch when a child decides to knock their lunch over to spill all over the ground. Anywhoo, I should not really complain, I love my job very much.
I came home today verrrrryyyy tired. I fell asleep on the living room floor at seven o'clock, that is how tired I was. However, the day proved worth it when I recieved a phone call of a lifetime. My mom had mentioned that someone had called the house just before I pulled up the driveway and she told them to call me back later. The phone rang, I answered it having no idea who I was talking to for five minutes. Then she said, I hope you would know what your new jersey twin sounds like by now.
Good gollie gracious gee wilkers, I was sooooooo excited! I have not heard from my beautiful twin from new jersey since I went there (New Jersey) in July. Okay let me explain the two of us. Heidi Elizabeth Mayo and Rachel Louise Moen met up at Semp 2004 (students equipped to minister to peers) in Toronto. She is in Johnnie Norbeck's church for clarification. Anywhoo, we met and kind of didnt think much of each other. Then Semp 2005, we remembered each other, and maybe talked once or twice. However, we exchanged email addresses and thats when the magic happen.
We very quickly found out that we had everything in common. The really only main difference between us is the fact she has blonde hair and I have brown hair. I am not even blowing this out of proportion but everytime we talk, we both will share what God is teaching us, and not even kidding the other one will have already experienced it. But even better, the other one will just have experienced it so the lessons learned are fresh or we both go through the same thing at the same time.
At Merge 2006 (Semp totally revamped everything) Heidi and I could not wait to see each other. I was showing the girls from our youth group around the hotel and she was too. She apparently saw some of our luggage on the floor in one of the hallways and got very excited. We both left our groups and started running for each other. We turned this corner and crashed into each with this huge hug. We fell into everyone's luggage. It was truly romantic. ; )
We used to only see each other once a year but now it's every few years. She attends Word of Life in Argentina to pursue missions work so we barely even talk now. So, we made a road trip to New Jersey and I didnt even tell her about it till a month before hand. She somehow still forgot about our trip out so I surprised her. I love her soooooooooooooooooo dearly. But yeah we were able to talk a good half an hour tonight and hopefully more will come. : )
