This past weekend Kyle and I traveled in town for Nick's graduation on Sunday, May 10th! Even though he followed in my footsteps and took 5 years in school, he has graduated in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry!It all started at 9:30 at Kenan Stadium for the big graduation, where Desmond Tutu (winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize) spoke. It was SUPER long and a little boring, but Nick kept texting us the whole time so that entertained us. Duke had Oprah speak... now why couldn't Nick have gone to Duke?! haha jk
All the BME majors:
Afterwards we took a some pictures by the belltower until we headed over for his next graduation for his BME major...
They had one of his professors talk, who truly is a genius, talking about all these equations and stuff that went right over my head. Glad Nick can handle all of it! Tara and Grandma made it halfway through this one, so we took lots of pictures with them afterwards at the reception.

Eric, Will and Nick all BME majors.Eric and Nick will be living together in CA this coming year...
Then we went over to Nick's house and had a graduation party for him and his roomates!Mike, Nick and Mac:
AND of course we got the graduation picture of Tara and I kissing Nick. We started this tradition at his highschool graduation:
And continued it at this one...hopefully we'll do it again after his Dental School Graduation:
We also opened some presents the night before and passed around the "Stole of Gratitude"
So what's next for Nick? In two weeks he leaves for France, then he's home for a week then leaves for Belize, then flies straight to Guatemala for a mission trip. Then in August he heads to California where he'll be living with friends continuing to play online poker and studying for the DAT exam to get into Dental School.Congrats Nick, all your hard work paid off! We are so proud of you!
