Chip It!

It looks like I'm blogging something random, and truthfully I am. I just recently was informed by something called "Chip It".  Apparently I can upload a picture and paste the link on the Chip It website, and it will show me a color palette based on the photo. So basically this is my attempt. I hope it works!

My Sweet Mother

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and influential woman in my life!

 I love you so much, mom! I hope I learn to be half of the 

woman and mother that you are! I'm sad I don't get to be 

there with you on your 'milestone' birthday and anniversary,

 but I'm glad you enjoyed the tea party us kids put on for you!

 You are such a strong woman that I look up to daily! 

Thank you for being you. 

Love,

your  baby!

Peace Like a River

I realize that I haven't blogged for far too long. I think about it everyday, too! Here is goes(I'm rusty)...

In the last five months I've gotten Charlie(my child), dated for a short while, went on a family vacation, and been working on my last really important semester. It's been a wonderful five months! Although I would probably by much happier if I wasn't dealing with school. I feel like I've learned so much about myself in these past months, too. I've been learning and living out what God has planned for me, which I really don't know where he is leading me, but in Him I am content. I've learned that I cannot rely on others to give me the satisfaction that I need, but instead look to Him for comfort. God has moved me more than ever before and I'm so excited to see where He takes me. This is probably the most stressful weeks that I will have ever had but somehow I'm at peace (Philipians 4:7).

Charlie is quite leery about the bathtub...

the shaggy dog looking for his treat

We dominated x-county skiing, but not without some bruises...

and dogsledding.

It was a relaxing, knitting, x-country skiing, dogsledding, snowmobiling, and four-wheeling find of weekend at the Grand View Lodge.

Detective Dog

Pretty sure that aching hole in my heart has been filled. Tigger is his name and Detective(or Mister) is his surname. I don't need a man when I have that little ball of fur to cuddle with all the time. It's all I need.

Anyways, he did really well in the car ride home, is good on a leash, and adjusted to the house really fast. As of noq, he still won't even think about checking out the basement since he is a little quite the chicken. This little man is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. Lazy, sits however you put him, doesn't bark, doesn't shed, and chill.

I can't wait for people to meet him. Mom and Dad, you will actually love him, too! <3

Dog

Believe it or not, I'm looking at dogs! I'm debating all of the pros and cons of each of these.

Cash(male)

• Shih-tzu
• Ugly, but adorable! 
• 1yr old
• needs shots and neutered
• Calm but can be playful. 
• House trained
• leash trained

Tigger(male)

• Shih-tzu and poodle
• Smaller than Cash
• So adorable
• 5yrs old
• Has shots and is Neutered
• super excited immediately, but extremely chill soon after
• He's a lover
• He's house trained, but allowed to run around free(not leash trained)

Pumpkins and All Things Nice

I hope you all had a wonderful halloween! Sarah, Joe, and I definitely did. Aside from all of the school work we got to make a good weekend out of it. Friday night a friend of ours from church has a halloween/birthday party. Saturday a good friend Katelyn has a fall party where we got to eat pumpkin pie, apple pie, apple cider, carmel apples, pumpkin cake, and probably more that I can't think of. Sunday was a catch up on homework day. Once things were done we all got our costumes back on and then we headed to Sarah's second home to have homemade tortellini soup followed by some photos at Legacy Photography. Here are our lovely lawn gnome costumes! :)

And it goes like this...

I haven't gotten to say a whole lot lately, but I will leave you with a quick update and a special photo. Recently I have somehow made time to finally get my new website online. As far as I know, if everything goes as planned it should be up today! If it isn't keep checking back. There are so many never before seen photo shoots so I'm excited to see some reactions. Next: Updates business cards with my new website, new e-mail, and new look! I hope it goes over as well as I would like.

New link: www.traciadamsonphotography.com
New e-mail: traciadamson@gmail.com

Also, I will be offering studio portraits! So be sure to spread the word! :)

Now all I need to do is finish 4 weddings, 1 engagement, 2 families, 1 senior, and 1 childrens session... then I will be caught up.




Here is just an ordinary summer/fall night at home. Mom and dad, I hope to have someone that I can share that same love that you still have for each other.
