Kelley Drake:  

My Life My name is Kelley Drake, I am now 40yrs old Going on 30. I have a 22yr old 16yr old and a 15yr old. I have two gorgeous grandbabies. Maddie is 3 and Haden is 2. I'm living in South Tulsa, but would love to move out of tulsa, somewhere like Sand Springs, BA, Bixby, Glenpool. I'm divorced, but am not single. I've been in a long term relationship for 11yrs with Bob. We are not married and I am not sure if I ever want to remarry again. My first marriage was pure hell. So I figure since things are great the way they are why fix something that isn't broken. That is just my opinion. I may be 40 and a "nanny", no way do they call me granny..LOL. But I feel no different than I did in high school. I thought by the time I was 40 I would be this straight laced, do nothing wrong type of person. OH BULL...LOL I still play my heavy metal loud, I tell bob if it is too loud than your too old. JK! I enjoy going to the casino just to get away for awhile. Only problem is, it is never for a little while. Time goes by so fast when your there. Bob and I do really good when it comes to winning. I should re-phrase that. We both do great winning, But he is the smart one and cashes out, Me on the other, I get up to 400.00 and do I cash out??? Nope. DUH! Now that is only when he is not with me. He keeps me in line. Have to admit, When I met Bob I was 4 months away from my divorce being finalized. The divorce lasted a year and a half. (long story) The ex hooked up with the girl he was having an affair with right away, ended up having a baby together, but now they are no long together. I on the other hand, took my time, figured when it was time to meet someone it would happen, and it did. I waited a year to get serious with anyone. Divorce was painful and I was not ready for a relationship. Once Bob and I met things were great. Too great actually. I kept waiting for that other shoe to drop, the abuse, the drinking, fighting, etc. Unfortunatley that was what I was use to. But no shoe dropped. no fights. He works daily, on days off he can't stand to be doing nothing. He is a carpenter/painter/jack of all trades. Which is nice, he can usually fix a lot of things around the the house w/o having to call out a plumber, etc. He has had the same job for about 10yrs now and I swear on my life he has only missed work 3 days when he has been sick and maybe 5 days due to me having two separate surgeries. Aside from that he works his butt off...full time job and part tme job cleaning this law office that he and his company happened to do a remodel on and he overheard the ladies in the office complaining about the cleaning crew, well my "witty" Bob said, "I'll do it" and I'll be darned if they didn't take him seriously. So he does that job 3 days a week for the past 5yrs. Believe me, it definitley helps with the finances' since I am not able to work anymore. Long story there too. Oh well, i guess that is my current life in a nut shell. I could write a book if I had time, there is so much more that has gone on in my life that would make jaws drop. Way too personal for these sites. Anyways, it's great seeing all the names of the people I went to school with. Many may not remember me. I wasn't a jock, or a prep, no offense to anyone.
