Part Uno-a special tribute

my first introduction to College Station was in 1995. My dad lost his job at the Houston Post newspaper and he got a job in Bryan. He started working in August and we finally moved to 1602 Treehouse Trl. in November, the week before Thanksgiving. It was a miserable time..I was 13, the middle of 7th grade and i had moved from Houston, to this little town where everyone had been friends since kindergarten and no one wanted to be friends with the "new girl", except one girl and her crazy family-the one and only Miss Tracy Rebecca Smith.

Tracy is such a dear friend to me, she almost qualifies as one of those friends that "youve grown up with"...and i am also lucky to call her a roommate (past and present!). Tracy and i have made many memories together from jr. high dnow when i swallowed my retainer, to living at helena jr. high to living life as graduate townies. [see im not the only one with squinty eyes...]

i love tracy-her dreamstar, quizzes and wonderful eye for decoration.

So Trace, you are the first in my farewell to CS.
I cherish your friendship and am going to miss you and all your fun, especially meals at the baker who is blue, like crazy. Thank you for befriending me 10 long years ago. i love ya chica.

grace & peace,
lish

    Hey girl -
    We're so excited to have you in our "next of da' woods." And, while you're probably about six hours away - that's the closest piece of Texas yet! N.C. is beautiful and we've loved living in the Southeast. There's so much to do (mountains, beaches, rivers, etc.) that Texas doesn't really have - or it's just better here! Prayin' for your transition. Keep us updated!
