Traci's Story
Life
I live in Missoula Montana. I have 3 kids, Katelyn is 19 Justin is 14 and Brandi is 9. I manage my dad's business. The above takes most of my time!
I'd have to say that life doesn't always turn out the way we plan it when we're in high school. My life has been a ride for sure! My kids keep me grounded though. My oldest is a student at the University of Montana and my son just graduated 8th grade and my youngest is finishing 3rd grade today!

I've had to toss aside my judgemental attitutes as I've become the one being judged. It's not as easy as it looks from the outside. My biggest life lesson is to learn who people are, don't guess or think you know just by what others say or what your first impression is.
Have a great rest of your life!
