When I moved to Norman in 2001, I attended Norman North High School. On the first day of freshman year, I had history with Anna Sebestyen (Mr. Sondag taught the class, for those of you still at North!). We had a quiz the first day of school to identify all of the flags around the room. Pretty sure I could identify 5, maybe 6. Embarrassing, but not the point. I can remember seeing Anna in that class and maybe speaking to her that first day. That afternoon, I had my first math class at North with Rosemary Sebestyen.
It was at least a few days to a week later that I learned they were twins.
So, today is their birthday. May Day! They're a quarter of a century old, and I'm mighty glad and thankful I met them on that incredibly scary and first day of school in 2001. They've been by my side through everything, even if we were on different continents. They're quite the pair, as you'll see in the pics below. I ran out of room on my blog for posting pics, so I had to upgrade to a bigger account! And this post is no exception! Twins birthday? Double the pictures. From choir tours to senior trip to Ukraine to Norman, we've been a lot of places together. Enjoy :)
