The day, and the world, belongs to the twins.
Coupeville High School sophomore sensations Tamika and Jasmine (Jazzy) Nastali, who celebrate a joint cake day today, are two of the brightest shining stars living in our town.
Superb athletes — Tamika rakes on the softball diamond while Jasmine is a fleet-footed wonder on the track oval — the duo, like older sister Heather, are also really incredible young women in other parts of life as well.
The Nastali twins are smart, kind, caring, friendly, effervescent even.
Very supportive of each other, and of their many family members, Tamika and Jasmine reflect extremely well on parents Beth and Robert.
There is little doubt the titanic twins are going to accomplish big things, both on the athletic stage and off.
The best thing we can all do right now is get in good with them and hope they remember the small people after they’ve hit the big time.
So happy birthday, Nastali sisters.
You make our small town a much better place with your presence, and we, the fans, want to wish you the best on your birthday, and every day.
May you continue to dazzle the world for a very long time to come.
