TRACI'S PAGE

*First Things First* My name's Traci. I'm a freshman at Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tennessee where I'm studying Counseling. I'm about 5'2", blonde hair, blue eyes. I'm a goofball, I love to have fun and meet new people, and I love Jesus, chocolate, my friends, quotes and duckies.

"When life gives you lemons, put the juice in a watergun and squirt life in the eyes."

*If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Meg, Linnie, me, and  Deana

~ Don't frown. You never know who's falling in love with your smile.

*I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

~"Never say 'I love you' if you don't really care.  Never talk about feelings if they aren't really there.  Never hold my hand if you're going to break my heart.  Never say you're going to if you don't plan to start.  Never look into my eyes if all you do is lie.  Never say 'hello' if you really mean 'goodbye'.  If you really mean forever then say you will 'try'.  Never say 'forever' because forever never dies."

"Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people. They are born with a little bit of angelshine about them, and though it wears thin at times there is always enough left to lasso your heart...."( on 'why girls are irresistable').

*Look into my eyes for just one moment and you will realize how much you mean to me. *Real love stories don't have endings. *Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance and find out that you still care for that person. *You're wonderful, gorgeous, intelligent, and sophisticated. All these beautifully describe you, but the best way to describe you is simply irreplaceable. *The heart knows when the search is over. *All you have to do is look at me and smile and it just makes my day! *I would rather have 30 seconds with you than a lifetime with someone else. *Even if a day should go by when I don't say "I love you" may there never be a moment gone by without you knowing that I do. *As I laid there in your arms I realized I wanted to be in those arms forever.

~Pilippians 4:6- "...Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything..." ~Hebrews 13:2-"Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing."

Britt and I at camp.

*A girl is something you treasure, not treat badly. *Ever stop to think and then forget to start again? *All things equal, fat people use more soap! *Friends may come and go but enemies accumulate. *If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody. *If you can smile when things go wrong you have someone in mind to blame. *One seventh of your life is spent on Monday. *Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes! *I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am.

All of us at Linds' house before we left for college.

"Who was the first guy to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll drink whatever comes out of those dangly thingys when I squeeze them.'"

"I think the world would be a better place if those kids would just gibe that rabbitt some Trix!"

~ I wish I were a little kid again because skinned knees are always better than broken hearts. ~ A friends tears make you want to change the world so it doesn't hurt them anymore. ~ Loved ya yesterday, love ya still, always have, always will. ~ The Guardian Angels of life sometimes fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us. ~Good friends are hard to find, harder leave, and impossible to forget. ~The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love love someone else. ~Friends are like stars...You don't always see them but you know they're always there. ~Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it isn't the end. ~Friends know the song of your heart and can sing it back to you when you seem to have forgotten the words. ~If my friends were to go jump off a brigde I wouldn't follow, I'd be at the bottom to catch them when they fall.

Patrick and I

"I ran up the door and closed the stairs, Said my pajamas, and put on my prayers, Turned off the bed, and hopped in the light, All this because, you kissed me goodnight."

* "What goes around usually gets dizzy and falls over."

~One of the best things people can have up their sleeves is a funnybone.

~ "The probibility of someone watching you is directly proportioal to the stupidity of your actions."

Britty/Linds/Crissy-I love you all to death! We have had some great times...starting way back in the preschool days! "Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us."

~ "Never settle for being somebody's slogan when you deserve to be a poem."

Linnie/Hannah/Deana/Megan- You are the greatest! Thanks for all the memories and for always being great buds even when I don't take your advice. We will always be 'The 5'. Love ya! "Some people make the world special just by being in it."

Peanut/Boob/'Jacob- You guys are incredible people and I'm really glad we've become friends this year. I can always count on ya'll to make me laugh. "If I had a star for every time you made my smile, I'd be holding the entire midnight sky in the palm of my hand."

*SHOUT OUTS*
