Meeting Traci for the first time was like crazy love! My heart knew I had found a kindred spirit. She has a way of making those around her feel that all things are possible. She can take a joke and fun harassment as well as dish it out. Her amazing commitment to her passions could be a template for all to follow. I miss the days when I don't see her or hear from her and she makes me feel the same way. I'd bet she does that for many others as well which is why she is so wonderfully fantastic and eternally beautiful!

The first time I met Traci, I just loved her!! I could tell by her cute clothes and her fun personality that she was a wonderful person! When I went to her house for the first time I was blown away at how put together she was! She is amazing!! Her house is clean from top to bottom with everything in its place. It looks like it is in a magazine. Gorgeous!! Traci to me is super Mom. She is always on top of things, always positive, and you can see just by looking at her that she is a daughter of God. Her kids are so well put together and kind and you can see that she has been an amazing mother to them. She also amazes me with her testimony. I love to hear it. You can feel it just by standing by her that she loves her Heavenly Father and tries everyday to be more like him. And seriously! She is AMAZING at being the healthiest person I know! She asked me one time why I walked so much and I told her it was because I needed it for my sanity. I feel like she gets that now. I admire her strength for running and being healthy. Traci is a wonderful lady, a great person, a super Mom, a wonderful example, and I am so happy I can call her my friend! Happy, happy birthday Traci! We all love you to pieces!!!

Happy Birthday Traci! I have always loved you and your family. The only thing I was excited about moving here, at the age of 8, was meeting cousins. You have one of the greatest smiles and dispositions, it is easy being around you. Thanks for bringing that husband of yours back here with his talent. I am excited you live here again. Love you

I got this one first . . . and Completely Panicked!!! I thought she had sent it to you or something I was dying. Then I saw what happened, I had to include it . . . it is the story of our life! I'm sorry you always have to be me!
Hi Traci,
Here is my story of Heidi:
When I moved to Lyman I was 11 years old and had a really hard time making friends. Everyone there had already been friends or known each other since they went to pre-school together and already had their social circles. I have family here, but most of the cousins that I knew didn't want to be socially associated with the weird new girl. By the time I made it into Young Women's I was pretty un-excited about the whole thing. I was going because I had to, and I would generally make excuses to get out of it and any other social activities.
Heidi was in my ward and older than me, but she took the time to be nice to me. I didn't expect anyone to jump out and be my best friend, so it was really nice that someone cared enough to just not be mean. She set a great example of how to be yourself and not worry so much about what other people thought of you. Because of her and some caring Young Womens' leaders (Heidi's mom, Colleen, and Edyth Matthews) I kept going. Eventually I found some friends, and I survived my middle school years :) As I progressed through Young Womens' and school, I remembered the way that Heidi made me feel and I tried to do that for other people. I still follow her example today in the way I encourage my guitar students.
Happy Birthday Heidi, thanks for your help, and I'll always think of you as The Fun Girl!
With Love,

When I grow up, I want to be like Traci! Here’s 5 reasons why:
1. I can’t help it! Who wouldn’t want to be like you?
2. You are genuinely interested in others! When most people walk into a room, they say, “Here I am!” When you walk into a room, you say, “There you are!”
3. You’re fun! No explanation needed!
4. You’re gorgeous! And you keep yourself that way!
5. You never grow up!
Happy 40th Traci!!

I can't say enough nice things about Traci. She is contagious! Love that she can talk to anyone at anytime and make them feel comfortable. what a talent to have. I would love to have a gift like that, but that is what makes her, her, and the great person that she is. She is a wonderful mother to beautiful children that she gets to pass on her good traits to. She is so thoughtful and tenderhearted. She is always concerned for others and wants to help anyway she can. She is creative and pays attention to little details that make a big difference in all the things she does. I love Traci and glad that I am one of her friends. One thing that I treasure about our friendship is that we can always pick up where we left off.
A good story I think of when I think of Traci is one of her being thoughtful and kind to me. We spent a lot of time together while our moms served missions. we had sunday visits with kids putting skits on for the adults and we would sit around and solve all the worlds problems. I had a baby during that time and the sunday that we blessed him, my parents were still gone. After the meeting she walked up to me and handed me a paper with the blessing written down. She had no idea that my mom wrote down all my other children's and in her absence I was feeling sad she couldn't be there to do that for me. She was so inspired to do that and I was so grateful to her. She is such a great person and I am happy to be able to share life with her.
Happy Birthday to Traci. Many more good days ahead!
Love Ya Tons!!
