Julie's Story
Wow, it's so amazing to think that 43 years have past since graduation. Life is GREAT.
Many many changes in life over the years, would take lots of hours to recreate, but thought I'd take a swing at it.
Married to my best friend in the world (Ray) for almost 30 years (next year), have 2 fabulous & successful kids Terri & Kevin, son-in-law Brian, daughter-in-law Carrie, and 4 g-kids Alexandria (Alex), Jacqueline (Jax), Taylor (Ms. T.) & Brenden (B-Man). Recently returned from 8 day trip to meet kids, spouses, & G-Kids at Disney World, FL. What a great time we all had!
Finished building new home & settled down in Lodi, CA in 2002 after having been traveling around the country via 45 ft bus for almost 8 years. Yeah, moved from home in Danville, CA after 11 years into a 45 ft. bus. Culture shock for sure, and, NO we didn't kill one another. Not a lifestyle for everyone, and you really do have to be BEST FRIENDS. Would never trade the experience, but after 3 g-kids in less than 3 years it was time to settle down. Lodi is just about half way between the kids and g-kids, as Terri, Brian, Taylor & Brenden live in Chandler, AZ, and Kevin, Carrie, Alex & Jax live in Lake Tapps, WA (small area SE of Tacoma).
While both Ray & I worked for Pac Bell/AT&T for a combined 55 years of service, we had lots of opportunities many of us don't get, so Ray retired in A...Expand for more
ugust, 1991 & I in December, 1991. Dabbled in home based interior decorating & consulting for about 3 years before deciding to hit the road and wander. Lived in Morristown, NJ for 5 years and loved that a lot, just not a place we would want to stay forever, so moved back to CA in May, 1983 to Danville.
Life in Lodi is very different, but really do love the small town atmosphere, really enjoy the Lodi "wine" country, managed a small local winery for the past 5 years until May, 2008, when decided need our weekends back. But, that was a real learning experience. Love the wine industry. If anyone is ever in our area, please don't miss the over 60 wineries and tasting rooms here. Lodi is truly the ZINFANDEL capital of the world and the wineries here do it right. Currently doing web-based business, independent consulting for a web-based designer handbag business from So. California, Gina Alexander, Inc. We make personalized "photo" handbags that are all one of a kind in design, many options and quite a hit (especially if you have G-Kids). The bags are a great way to have your kids, g-kids, special vacation, etc. with you all the time. Check our my FaceBook page for more info on the bags.
Life is good, and we are having a great time here. Health is good and we are looking forward to the next 30 years too.
Wishing everyone the best life has to offer.
