I can't believe it's been 40 +1 years since graduation - What have I been up to since I graduated? Well, the bullet points are thus. Graduated. Snuck away to commercial art school with my Mr., Tom. We married and I became a mom of 2 all before I could unravel what I wanted to do with my one beautiful life. But, as it turns out, I was already doing it! In all, we had three children (now we have five grands:) and I say proudly ~ being a mom has been one of the very best parts of this girl's life! I taught preschool for years then I rolled right into homeschooling my own (way before the pandemic:). We traveled (essentially the world) for education, business, and pleasure. I've been every sort of "Girl Friday" when it comes to our business - Tom DiPace Sports Photography - and I have been fondly called a human light stand by some very famous peeps (it's officially a thing - you should see me in action) and I really love working with Tom - he has the most amazing career - and I believe our working together has brought us even closer as a couple. A few years ago, for fun and for passion, Andrea Lambrakis and I started a little side hustle called ~ Salt Water Art Studio. The pandemic has not been the best time to grow our young niche business but we are still teaching art/pottery classes in spite of it all and having the very best time doing it! O, and yeah, this November Tom and I celebrate 40 years of marriage ~ 44 years together. This is all just nutty. How did 40 + years of my life fly by? Just. Like. That. (I am snapping my fingers here!) Looking forward to our 1980 AHS celebration coming up this October!

School Story:

I lived in East Detroit, MI until I arrived at Atlantic High School in Jan of '78. Open-air hallways. Blue skies. Friday night football games. Beach weekends. On my very first day at AHS, a cold front came through the night before. I wore a short-sleeve capped tee and the highest cork platform sandals I ever owned and you all wore socks that didn't match, your grandpa's winter jacket, and the ugliest hats. It all felt like a crazy dream. Where was I? I had so much fun at Atlantic. I was shy (still am) and quiet (still am) yet something about our class, AHS class of 1980, you all were just so full of happy that it spilled over into my short experience there and I really only have fondest memories!
