I finished up with my exams last Tuesday and flew home to North Carolina that night for Lisa's graduation celebrations! I had not been back to NC or seen my family in over five months!! It was very nice to get a break from school and spend a few relaxing days with the family :) Alex drove down to NC on Friday night with the furry one. It was a quick trip, as usual, but we enjoyed seeing everyone!

Officially a nurse!
The Nursing Graduation was held in the Dean Dome! I have not been in there since my Biology Graduation Ceremony two years ago.

The celebration
The big graduation ceremony!! It looked like it was about to rain during the entire ceremony until Chancellor Thorp pronounced the Class of 2011 as official graduates and the sun peeked through and lit up the student section for a few seconds!
