41 years!!!

I feel like such a proud daughter....dad just recently retired from 41 years of work at Chevron in October. Man that is a long time!!! I'm so thankful for dad and all the hardwork he has accomplished over the years. He has allowed my mom to be a stay at home mom, which I will forever be grateful for. I traveled with the kids and mom down to Richmond for a little retirement party they were presenting to dad and another coworker. It was so neat to hear all about the things dad worked on and see some funny old pictures of him. Mom was so funny she insisted that dad bring the leftover cake home. I think that was his workout for the day....it was so heavy. Actually I think I ended up carrying it out to the car. Dad took the kids back to his office and gave them a little tour of everything. I loved all the sticky notes that dad had posted all over the place. I guess that is where I get that habit! I loved the one where he was counting his left at Chevron, that had to be a bittersweet countdown in someways. Love ya Dad!!!
