You read that right folks. Our beloved Nicholas has a beard. Surprisingly, I think there were more request to see pictures of Nick's beard than our engagement ring. As you can see from the pictures below it is pretty beardly for Nick and it's still a work in progress.
I'll share a little about the history of his beard. Over his Spring Break back in April, Nick decided to stop shaving for the week and see what happened. You can look back to the Luray Cavern pictures and see his scratching stubble of a beard at the time. Towards the end of Spring Break the NFL playoffs began and being a Caps fan the attempted beard now became a true playoff tradition. By the time the Caps were out of the playoffs Nick had a pretty decent beard going on. Which I did not see until the night he proposed! He did offer to shave the beard for the pictures after our engagement. I told him he could keep because I knew he liked it. Plus it makes him look older and get mistaken for being a student less. Some have gone out of their way to convince me to get him to shave. "As long as it's gone by the wedding I don't mind" is my response. But I do know two things: Nick hates being overly hot and he hates itchy things. It's highly doubtful the beard will last long into summer.
Enough of ragging on Nick's handsome facial hair, I do want to brag about him and all of the hard work he has done this school year. Nick has worked incredibly hard this year to motivate and teach his students. He was seeing little success and reward on the day to day assignments, but today received very satisfying SOL scores. He's been very nervous for the past few weeks and I'm so glad his hard work is paying off. I couldn't be prouder of my fiance!
