Just hangin out in North Carolina and DC!

We were lucky enough to go to North Carolina for 7 days and stay with Cody and Marissa (Thanks so much guys!) and then we went to DC for 2 days. Such a blast. The only downside was I did not come home with a tan. Sorry to those on facebook. Alot of these pics will be a repeat, but I did try to spice it up a bit. You're just lucky I didn't put all 200 pics that we took up



The first day we went to the beach, Home of One Tree Hill!!

Duke Gardens

Duke Chapel

Can't pronounce for the life of me.

Trav was so excited to see Cameron Indoor Stadium. He took so many pictures of this place.

We went to a Durham Bulls Baseball game

I was going crazy in the 4 hour drive to D.C. The ride home was worse and took us over 6 because of traffic

Trav's favorite thing in the Natural History Smithsonian. A skull completely disassembled. There were so many cool things in this museum and so we took so many pics I just picked our favs.

Mine was a pic of a broken tibua and fibula with a rod in the fibula!! Ok that wasn't my fav but I thought it was cool

My real fav was the entire Holocaust Museum. It was so sad and so eye opening. I want to learn as much as I can about it and I need to read more books. I wasn't allowed to take pics in the best part of the museum, but here is a part that I could.

First thing we saw. I was so excited

There were lots of WWII vets at the WWII Memorial. I was so happy to see them there and even cried a bit because I have no idea what they went through for our country. I was so proud of them and just wanted to hug them. I got a better pic of them and one guy even smiled at our camera instead of his.

On our last day we went to the Lake. Still, no tan.

Stick a Fork In Me Because I'm DONE

Today was GRADUATION! It feels so good/weird/relieving/exciting to be done. Most of my family was able to come. My parents, Anni, Kirk, Halle, Wayne, Connie and Jennie were able to come and support me. I was lucky enough to receive The Outstanding Family Life and Human Development Student Award so I had to sit on the stage! Here is a pic that Trav tried to get of me on the stage. It's blurry but I still like it :)

With my fam! I am so grateful they could come! I am proud of all my siblings because now that I am graduated we all have a Bachelor's Degree!

I was so grateful to have Trav's family come too! I am so lucky to have such a good family that cares about me.
I am really glad to be done, but I unexpectedly got sad after I received my diploma. All I have ever known is school (minus my semester off so I could heal). What will I ever do without homework?! But I will miss all the friends I have made in my classes, learning new things everyday, applying what I have learned in class into the real world, and my favorite Professor, Shawn! I'm sure it will really hit me once Travis goes back in the fall. Hopefully I can get a real job in the real world! Cross your fingers for me!
