Meet Jacquline aka Jackie aka Nina (only to me, I will explain this in a sec...) She is also my cousin, her mom and my dad are brother-sister. And, she is also my godmother, hence the title-Nina. Nina and my uncle baptised me as a baby. She has been the BEST godmother (every holiday I got a great present) and cousin. Growing up, we were not really close due to being in different stages in life. I remember telling her and her friend, Sheri (she is the one in greenon the left in the top picture) when they over for dinner once and were MERELY 25 years old, that they were both old as dirt. (I was probably around 9 at the time.) Let's just say that they both still to this day remember me telling them that! Retrospect, 25-not that old!!! :-)
Of all of my family, Nina and I (along with her mom) are probably the most alike. We are very similar in a lot of ways and take after our Nana. Which is a lot of fun!
After graduating nursing school last August (speaking of, we are both Leos), I had the opportunity to move back to Tucson for my first nursing job and got to live with my Nina. So, for a little less than a year, her and I lived happily together. She would set up my breakfast stuff for the next day if I was working, it was so sweet. (Daniel doesn't even do that for me...) And, I had access to a whole closet FULL of shoes that fit. Yeah, it was heaven! We really got along and life was good living together. She was also the first family member to meet Daniel. Nina meet Daniel on our first date in Tucson. We all went out to a sports bar that night with some friends (Jeremy and Jackie-she is in white in the picture below). Apparently, my Nina only hangs out with people named Jacquline. Seriously. But, it is easy to remember her friends names that way. I really love all of the Jacqulines in our life though and I am just teasing!!! :-)
Currently, Nina works for Hogan Real Estate School as the Office Manager and she lives with her Cocker-Tedi Bruschi. She is also coming up early to help with the wedding-yeah!!I love you, Nina! Always have and always will! Because of you, I knwo that I am really NOT a cabbage patch baby, like my parents always made me believe.
