Michael DONNELLON!!!!!

BIG NEWS!!! Michael, my oldest is now officially a DONNELLON. Some of you may know that Michael is not John's (JD's) natural son, although, John, is by all accounts, Michaels dad. He raised him, he worked with him and on and on and on. Michael approached us a couple of months back and said he wanted to legally change his name to Donnellon and we were thrilled. He went ahead and submitted the paperwork, posted a notice in the paper and today the Judge granted his request!

He is now: Michael Edward Donnellon

We're so happy, we're emotional! :)

Here we go!

So excited that I have a blog now! All sorts of things to talk about! Where to start? Well, for starters...I really should go get ready for work...but since I can type fast, heck I thought I would at least post 5 minutes of ramblings...could be less. :)

I'm off to San Diego today to facilitate a training with one of our CFE Partners. Meaning we're visiting an Electrical Consultant. And their reward for listening to us yack? Free lunch! We're feeding 12 folks and then I am off to do courtesy visits with some of my IT partners. Fun stuff!

Trying to figure out what to do for dinner tonight and what is on the docket for tonight. Probably leftovers for dinner (sorry John!) and finishing that last load of laundry that has been eluding me.

I better get going, I'm off to the shower and get dressed up in Grown up clothes for work.

My Family

So first and foremost, I have to introduce you to my family....although, most of you probably already know everybody. :)

I am married to John Donnellon aka JD...it's funny, I'll be talking to friends and I will refer to him as John and I get the Question mark look on their face...and I have to re-think and re-phrase and say JD..it's JD! He owns a company that does stickers, signs, and well, if it needs to be printed on something, he can do it. LOVE this man. He's the world to me and is a GREAT father and a WONDERFUL husband.



Michael, my oldest son is 22. He is currently attending the Police Academy and will graduate in December. He is also working at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. He's been working there since he was 16. What a driven kid he is.....when he puts his mind to it, it get done. I'm so proud of him!



Kevin, my youngest son will be 17 in 3 days! He is going to be a Senior at Orange Glen High School. He plays football for the OG Patriots. He has also been dating the same girl for the last 2 years. Her name is Cierra and she is a cutie. Funny story, John and I went to La Maze class with Cierra parents when we were pregnant with Kevin. We kept in touch with them over the years and about the time the kids turned 15...we decided to get together to see how much they have changed and grown up. Well.....one thing led to another and our kids are dating. They can officially say that they've known each other since birth. They were born at the same hospital. She was born the day before and literally they were in the nursury together. AMAZING.



I have my other two "kids" / Babies...Roxy, my #1 and Dude aka deet da dee. Roxy is a 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier and Dude is a 1 1/2 year old Poodle mutt something or other. He followed some football kids back to the school after selling raffle tickets at the grocery store. John and Kevin saw him in the parking lot and the minute one of the parents said they were going to take him to the Humane Society, my husband couldn't get the words out fast enough and said he would take him home. Yup, Dude aka Deet da Dee won the doggy lottery. He's been living with us for a year now. And currently I am sitting on the love seat, with Roxy on my left and Dude sacked out on my right.


That's all for now. be deet da dee da deet, that's all folks. (couldn't help myself!)

It's my 1st Official Posting

So being as geeky as I am, figuring this out should be a piece of cake! (ideally) I'll let you know. Going to go forth and figure this all out! Wish me luck!
