Nikki Pascal lives her life by tremendous example.
She is an example to her children of what a friend should be like, how to live your life to the fullest and how to work hard. Each and every day she finds a way to be that much more amazing, and her children definitely all look up to her as a role model.
“She’s a great example to our 5-year-old Sophia and our 22-year-old Natalia,” Nikki’s husband Chris said. “She is an example of what a mother and woman should be. She’s nurturing and mothering to the boys, teaching them to be good young men.”
With five children where the oldest and youngest have an 18-year age gap, that can be a lot to handle. Yet for Nikki it is a challenge she takes on with ease. She loves her children so much and loves being there for them, and the love and support she shows is utterly amazing.
With Christopher getting ready to have a child in November, Natalia attending Coastal Carolina, Michael and Kyler playing hockey, and Sophia sharing a birthday with her mom, there is so much for Nikki to keep track of, but that is what she thrives on. She thrives on keeping them in line and on schedule, and she is just a steady force in their lives.
“We’re a blended family, though we don’t and won’t ever go by that,” Chris said. “She is the mother to all of the children – 23 down to 5. Our family is very hectic and fast paced. With having five children in the house at one point, she’s been the glue that holds us together in the midst of the chaos while working a full-time job.”
Somehow, some way, Nikki keeps it all together. Maybe that’s why she is the sergeant at the training academy, which keeps her on her feet at all times. Or maybe it’s just because she is an all-out awesome person.
But don’t get us wrong. Nikki knows how to walk both sides of the line. She is stern when she needs to be stern, just like she is loving when she needs to be loving.
“She’s definitely the disciplinarian,” Chris said. “My wife keeps everyone in line. She teaches the kids to be themselves and to express themselves. Be themselves instead of falling in line with what other people want them to be. She’s preparing them for the real world. She has a tattoo on her back of a lioness. She naturally defends her children, and the tattoo represents that.”
Nikki gets along with almost everyone she meets, but if she ever comes across someone who could potentially harm one of her children, you can bet she is going to be there to back her kids up 100 times out of 100. She does not like people messing with her cubs, and rightfully so.
Nikki is not afraid to go to bat for other people either. Whether it be her other family members or her friends, she always wants what is best for them. She has people’s backs, and that is yet another reason why she is a great woman.
“She wants to help people any way she can,” Chris said. “Nikki is tight with her father and mother, and is especially close with her grandmother. She just had her grandmother tattooed on her thigh, in the form of a pin-up model.”
Family means everything to Nikki at the end of the day, and this is something she makes sure she is instilling in all of her children.
Her aforementioned work ethic is another thing that truly stands the test of time with her. Nikki puts in a lot of effort and has put in a lot of effort in the past to get to where she is today. She is also appreciated at her workplace, as they know she is one of those irreplaceable hard, steady workers.
“She makes sure she can show her ability to do her job,” Chris said. “She cares. She also has empathy for the people who work under her command. She is easy to get along with in terms of her coworkers and peers.”
Nikki is going to lift you up as much as possible. She does things to help people shine in their careers, and the way she looks out for everyone she works with is truly remarkable. Her coworkers and superiors all like her, and that speaks to her personality and character.
Nikki is just an outright special person overall, and her family cannot wait to continue living life in their new custom-built six-bedroom house with her. She makes their worlds go round, and for that she is appreciated.
“My life has felt complete since the moment we’ve been together,” Chris concluded. “My only regret is that we didn’t get together way sooner. Time is a thief and it goes by too fast. It will be over in the blink of an eye, so I want to make every moment count together.”
