Sisters?

There is a friend at church, Jennifer Brown, whom everyone thinks is my sister. When she first began coming to The Pentecostal Church, & even before she knew me, people would ask her if she was Becky's sister. Even now we have people ask us all the time if we're sisters. No, we aren't, but I have to admit we look more alike than me & my real sister (whose name happens to be Jennifer). What makes it even more strange is how similar we are. A while back Jennifer & her husband, Chuck, were at our house & as we sat down to eat dinner we discovered we have the same china! We have the same sunglasses, very similar bedroom furniture, neither of us are big talkers, both are very laid back, etc. It's uncanny how similar we are. At times I will see a picture of myself, or catch a glimpse in a mirror, & say "Whoa! That was Jennifer Brown!" My own mother says we must have been separated at birth. So we claim her as one of the family.

One funny story to prove my point - right after I had my baby & was at home recuperating, Luke Bullard, one of the quizzers I co-coach at church, passed Jennifer Brown, who was also pregnant, in the hall & said "Hey, Sis. Becky." Jennifer tried to explain that he was confused & said I was at home with my baby. She said "I'm Jennifer." The conversation went on & Luke continued to argue with her that she was really Becky! I'm not sure he was ever really convinced.


Love you, Jenni Brown!!!

Hey Sis!
This is awesome and scary. I know when I see you in choir I feel like I am looking at myself so many times. I would be happy to be claimed by your mom and family.

Hope to see you Saturday at Thanksgiving Dinner!!!
