Well, I didn't think it would happen, but it did! My Nina decided to retire. I figure she'd be working insurance forever! But she finally realizIed that she's almost 80, and was tired of getting up every day to go to work. And I was happy for her!
The girls and I were there early, and Josh met us there later on. Mader Bagley State Farm did a beautiful job of throwing her a wonderful party. I had a feeling there would be a lot of people there, but the number of people that showed up to honor my Nina totally blew me away! There were people everywhere!! In fact, it overwhelmed Macie Claire. She hung out with her Mrs. Sara while she was there, but soon grabbed my phone to go and sit in the hallway to play a game. She's not much on crowds of people she doesn't know. Brenna took up residence in a chair with her book.
It was great to see so many faces I hadn't seen in a long time. But I must admit, there were many faces that I recognized but couldn't place. I really needed my Mama standing there next to me to tell me who everyone was. They all knew me, or well they knew I was either Kim, Sherry or Jennifer. I got called all three names- but after all these years, I am totally used to it.
The food and cake table was amazing!!!
My Nina looked so pretty!
I only managed to get one picture of us...
And for some reason it looks like my hair is missing....ugh. The joys of having blonde thin hair....it disappears in the light.
Well, I did get TWO pictures... gotta love a good selfie!!
And a goofy 6 year old....
We had a great time. And I know Nina did too! She was very excited to get started on her new retirement adventures. Little did we know that there would be a kink thrown into her plan a short 48 hours later......
