Hey ya'll! Well this is the place that I am suppose to tell you about myself I guess. Hmmmmm.... Where shall I begin. I am happily married to John for the past 11years. I have 2 wonderful boys, Brandon 20yrs and Colton 9yrs. And a dog named Pepper. My interests include Paltalk, Karaoke, Online gaming, bingo, webpage building **as you can see**, cross-stitch and crafting in general. I have an obsession with inventions, however, I have never actually patented anything....YET!
I choose this background for a reason... My name Kelly actually means "Warrior Woman", and I thought it quite appropriate! I am part Irish, part Indian. Mom tells me that she named me Kelly because I looked like a Little Irishman when I was born with bright red hair and blue eyes. Maybe someday I will add a baby pic of me to show ya! HAHA
Life for me is sometimes quite hectic. If you have already visited Colton's page, you would have seen that I have my hands full raising a moderately handicapped, Autistic child. If you haven't seen his pages yet, please go there and see what a wonderful child I have. One other thing that alot of people don't know about me is that I was diagnosed with Lupus about 14 years ago. Lupus is an Auto-immune disorder which encompasses alot of different health related issues. From skin problems to arthritis and even worse, when it is systemic, it can be fatal. You can see my cam shots and notice the effects that lupus had on my left cheek. It had always been somewhat of an embarrassment to me, but I have come to grips with the fact that there is nothing I can do about it, but live with it. So now that I have come to that acceptance of myself, I have decided to let the world know, and hopefully give others understanding about what Lupus is. I hope to soon add links about Lupus and its effects in hopes to help others afflicted with this disease.
These first two pictures were on my wedding day 11 years ago. Was one of the best days of my life, and YES! I am still happily married to my wonderful hubby John.
Okay, what do we have here.. hhmmm... Must be me on the pc taking a cam shot! HAHA.... Well, 11 years later and you get the real me of 2004. I know the pic it kind of dark, but that is this crappy lighting in this bedroom. Why is it that apartments don't install lights in the ceilings of rooms?? Aggrivating at times having lamps everywhere. Anyhoo.. Here I am folks in all my *ahem* glory. YEAH RIGHT!! hahaha
Here is another cam shot. Bout the same as last one eh?? Two different days tho. HAHA
Another year passed and here I am 2005. I thought the saying went *You aren't getting older, you're getting better*? What happened in my case *argh* lol
This picture was taken during my last year of nursing school. Unfortuneatly, due to illness, I was unable to finish my degree. It was, and still is heartbreaking that I spent so many years studying and nothing to show for it but memories and knowledge that I am not qualified to use at this time. It has however, helped me in my handling of son Colton's medical emergencies. Perhaps that was the real reason God sent me on that path of study. Anyway, now with the Lupus I have, I am still unable to finish out my degree. But at this time, I would have to start all over again. Guess I will just keep learning other things and try and enjoy my life with my family.
This was me at Kings Island Amusement Park in Ohio a couple years ago. We try every summer to go there for a mini-weekend vacations. Sometimes more than one time per summer. I LOVE THOSE ROLLERCOASTERS!! This was taken probably close to dinner time, taking a break, from all the fun. It's the kids that wear ya out on these outings! HAHA
And here is a picture of me in my senior year of High School. Funny huh?? Graduated 1982 from a Multi-denominational Christian School. Just about made straight A's in bible class too! Some things I remember, some I don't but I do pray daily and attend church when I can. Just keeping the faith!!
Thanks again for stopping by...
