Nick's Graduation

Yesterday we celebrated Nick's graduation!  Nick graduated from Virginia Tech with his Masters in Urban and Regional Planning and I couldn't be prouder of him!  The past two years have flown by.  This makes all those long nights in the library and dinner for him in the office worth it- he has worked so hard!  I am blown away by God's faithfulness and provision for us during this time and I am SO thankful we made the decision for Nick to go back to school.  You did it!!!  



 

Nick's parents came up to celebrate with us.  We had a great time with you guys!  We are all so proud of you Nick!


The job search is on- we appreciate your prayers during this time.  We know God has the perfect job for Nick and place for us and we are excited to see what that is!  We will keep you updated.

Congratulations to my sister Laurie as well- she graduated last week from UNCG with her RN-BSN.  I am so proud of all her hard work and awesome grades.  She has a job lined up and will start after she takes her state exam.   A special shout out to Pat as well for graduating from App!  Lots to celebrate in our family this year!

Last First Day...


Tuesday was Nick's last ever first day of class.  It is so hard to believe, but he is almost finished with his masters! We have been loving Blacksburg; its hard to believe this life stage is almost over.  By far the most common question we are asked these days is "so, what next?"  Honestly, we don't know!  Nick is just now starting to look for jobs and we are excited to see what the Lord has in store for us.  We will keep you updated!

The Avett Brothers and VT vs. Duke

                     

Part of my birthday present from Nick was tickets to see one of our favorite bands - The Avett Brothers!  They played in Roanoke last Friday night.  We have been wanting to see them for a while, and I have to say- they did not disappoint!  They are awesome performers and so much fun to see live.  Laurie and Pat came with us-  it was such a fun night out!


On Saturday we finally went to see a VT football game.  Football is the culture here and we had clearly been missing out.  My dad was able to come up for the day and go to the game with us.  If you know my dad, you know he is a huge Duke fan.  He didn't have very high hopes for the Blue Devils on Saturday, so he wasn't disappointed too badly.  Basketball season is a different story! The weather could not have been more perfect and we enjoyed the quality time with family.
