Hello, I am Marla. I am the youngest of the 10 Farrell children. I have been married to Eric for 20 years. We have 3 very handsome sons that I am so proud of. Dylan is 19 years old and is in his freshman year at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he is getting very good grades and learning lots about laundry. Vaughn is 17 years old and is really doing a great job planning his future. He would like to be a lawyer and is working very hard at getting in the internship program at the high school for next year. This means that he will spend part of his day out of the school working in a lawyer's office. Cole is 9 years old and is in the accelerated reading program at his school. He has also had his black belt in Hapkido for about 3 months. I work 20 hours per week as an elementary library aide. I like to spend my free time with family and friends, listening to live music, working out, bowling, wasting my time on the internet and I have been known to frequent a casino or two in my time.

Dick's view of me at dinner tonight...

I’m the oldest of the 10 kids. I’ve been married to Dick since 1995, but we’ve “dated” since 1973. And thanks to Dick who worked overseas a lot, I’ve been able to see a lot of the world! Thank you! My kids are Mike, Andrea and Maggie. His kids are Stephanie and David. We met when I replaced him on a job at Colorado State University . It was the first time I was impressed by someone else’s computer code… Nice brain! And tall with nice shoulders too… When I got laid off from my job 3 years ago, we sold our house in Colorado , bought an RV and hit the road. FUN!!! Last March, a former colleague hooked me up with a consulting gig in South San Francisco . So now we have been parked here for about 9 months… Working, working, working, working… Very nice to have the $s, but also looking forward to being “On the road again…” and sleeping until I WANT to get up. Maybe July…?

Miranda

I am the youngest daughter of Donna and Roger Ronzheimer.My mom, Donna, is the 2nd in line of the Farrell family. I am married to my wonderful husband, Joe, and have a baby on the way!
