My First Time

This is what I did today. What did you do?

First time of the year.

Note how tall the mowed grass is by looking at the wheel. 

Then, compare the un-mowed grass to height of the mower. 

It was easily above my knees.

Life's Learning Lessons

I, Traci Adamson, would like to announce that I am now a senior in college. Wow, I can't believe all that I have accomplished and learned in the last 3 years.

• I moved to a new city
• learned to be independant(other than money)
• Went through good/bad relationships
• Learned that I am a strong woman
• I can accoplish anything that is thrown at me with the help of God
• It is possible to stay awake for 60ish hours without sleep
• My friends have been there for me and I will always be there for them in a heartbeat
• I may not start something when I should, but it will always get done in time
• Friends are far more important than boyfriends
• My sister will love me no matter what, and I will love her no matter what
• My Grandpa and Grandma Stoe had/have a love so strong for each other that I don't believe it could exist in today's world
• The fact that I have never and will never have to go through a parents divorce gives me tears of joy
• I'm a very loving person
• I've learned that there are more people then I knew that don't believe in Jesus Christ
• Even though relationships may change a person, I will forever stand strong in my beliefs even if it means ending a perfect the relationship
• I would much rather have one best friend than have 10 best friends, even if we live hundreds of miles away. 
• I have lead a very sheltered life, but I'm proud of it
• Photography makes me happier than anything
• Even though my brother is a nurse(just like my mom), my sister is a teacher(just like my mom), and I am a creative person(just like my mom), I am proud to say I got my business skills from watching my dad as I grew up
• Even If I chicken out on a lot of extreme sports things, If you ask me one more time I will do it. 
• I go through withdrawals from my computer
• I wish so badly that I could be more creative in the way that I dress.
• I have learned to accept myself, my body, and my beliefs.  

I can't wait to see what more I learn about myself in the next 2 years when I finish my BFA. I'm sure my list with be twice as long, but it will be amazing to look back and read this. In 17 days I will be flying out of Fargo on the trip of a lifetime. I'm so excited to see what else I learn about myself in the process. Please pray for safe traveling and safety over all 24 of us. Thank you so much!

P.S. Tonight I just took a leap of faith and made myself a photography page on Facebook. I'm so excited to see where it takes me in the photography and design world. I have contemplated this for months but finally took the plunge since I now have some free time.
