FrenchDaJonSter Gets a Blog Page

So Dawn has had a blog now for quite some time: dawnsthinkings.blogspot.com. Not that she really uses it much, but she still has one. The decision has been made to leave that blog for it to be just that: Dawn's thinkings; and to branch out from that blog and make a page dedicated fully to updating family and friends on how we are doing ("we" being Dawn, Jon, Frenchie, and Buster) and a general idea of what is going on in our lives. So after an hour's worth of work trying to convince the blog site that we are of appropriate age to have a blogging site (I initially put in our anniversary as our birthday, causing huge issues about child internet safety...), here we are!!
I have intentions of logging on every week or so to update any news. Intentions, my friends! That's at least something.

I bought Frenchie a Christmas dress. It says "Santa Baby" on the back and it's so cute! She pretty much hates it though, which is a shame. She is adorable in it, although Jon referred to her as looking like "a chubby girl in her Sunday best". Which may be true...but we won't make it worse for her by telling her.

 See? What did I tell you. Adorable. I know!



Buster is doing well. He loves his "Squeeeeak"; he loves to chew his rawhide toys, as well as things he shouldn't be chewing, like plastic bottle caps and clothes... and he loves to cuddle. Which is great because I love to cuddle with him too. In fact, he just nuzzled his way onto my lap and has his head tucked under my laptop computer (he likes the warm air coming from it).

Jon is busy with his store, CAGE Computers and Gaming, as well as his IT business, Proponent IT. Both businesses are doing quite well. It seems that every month keeps getting better and better. Jon works very hard and has alot of responsibility, but somehow he manages to stay sane and to have fun. In his free time after work, he likes to watch movies on Netflix (which is awesome), make snacks, and play practical jokes on me.


Dawn is doing well (that's me!). I just got finished with the latest play I was in, "Blithe Spirit" and I had a blast doing it. Being back in theatre has been so much fun! Now that it's over and I don't have any real projects planned, I don't know what I'll do with my time. I am sure I'll find something, though!
I am loving my new job at ManorCare. I did 2 months of fieldwork there as a student about a year and a half ago, so I was able to get right back into the swing of things right away. I love feeling that "team" aspect there, which I did NOT feel while I was doing home care at Caregiver Support Network. So things are great!

Overall, we are doing pretty well. The next big thing on our plates is figuring out a plan for the holidays! Wish us some luck!!
