My life as Kelly Wilbanks


So, my life as a married woman has paced itself much better than the crescendo that was the end of my single-hood. This is a picture of me on the phone - I'm sure I am making an important call, since I took the time to take a picture with the webcam on my work laptop. Speaking of work - I got a promotion and I am now a full-fledged employee with Key Publishing Group. I found out about that just before I got married - it was great knowing I would be coming back to a secure position and a more substantial paycheck. Oh, and I get health care coverage as well, which was something I gave up at my other job after finding out I had cancer. Fortunately, by God's goodness - I was able to have my medical bills covered by insurance for the month of May -- when I had surgery and am now back on board with Health coverage - hardly missing a beat. God has been able to work miracles for me on that end. I almost have my bills paid off at the Petroff Clinic -- where I got plastic surgery. I have paid off the cost of my biopsy - and now am just waiting for the bill from the doctor who removed my cancer. One bill at a time -- and I've had insurance working with me all this time to cover these bills.
God is good.

This is a picture of Melody and I at Becca Sue's wedding in June - aren't we cute. Speaking of weddings - I'm going to Steve Brock's wedding tonight, I'm in a wedding next weekend - yeah Laura and Rod, and Kim and Daniel are getting married on the last day of the month. I have weddings every weekend for the rest of the summer.

Tre and I have really enjoyed getting settled into our new home. It's so nice to have a house - Butters loves being able to run around. Last Sunday Tre and I walked over to the lot that we thought about purchasing when I was on a house-buying kick. When we last saw it - it had someone squatting in it (living w/o paying rent) - it had a deck with burn marks on it where angry renters had left their mark and a fairly rocky foundation. Now the front part of the house is there, but a new foundation, walls and three levels. I think it's going to look great when it is all done - but, boy had that house been spoiled before.

So, this is me as a Simpson -- what do you think? I couldn't find a button that had freckles - an essential to any recreation of myself. Oh well - I've seen Simpsonized versions of people everywhere and had to do it myself. Well, I better get back to work- my lunch break is almost over and I haven't had a chance to read from my current book Uncle Tom's Cabin. Now, that I've finished the Potter series (in record time mind you - I blew through the entire series in two weeks), I want a little more than lit-candy.

Well, take care and have a great weekend.

Hi Kelly,

Long time no see.
Congrats on your new job and hubby! You look happy. I'm happy for you :)
I found your blog at multnomah.edu.

Me and Julie moved further out towards Gresham last year.
