Wilkins Family Crest


My real Last name I have not shared with the world. I was born into this world as James Wilkins. My Father (Not Jim my Dad) But my Father had a diffrent last name.

When I had kids I had to think what name I wanted to have for Future Generations. I stuck with the Name Given to me. I figured I would create my own Clan. We are one step further on that. Because now we have a Family Crest and a Slogan.

I love the slogan- Be ye prudent.

To the Cities I went and now I go

For of you I have not to in awhile, if you had read my blog you will know that I had issues with my Job at NCR with the Sabbath. They had me scheduled every Sabbath.

So I quite. Before I could resign, I got a call from Bob Benson. He is the District Manager for Cobined Insurance. He said that they would love to have me back and he wanted me to get going on it so I could get in the feild.

I went to the cities for a an intense week of Insurance Laws and Concept. It is a 45 cretdit hour class in just one week. For those of you who have gone to college, you will know that is almost to much for one week.

I came to it with a mission. I was here to lean the material and to pass the State Insurace exam. (The Accident and Helth portion anyway).

I can tell you I have never taken a harder class in my life. The first day Bob Pidilla (the instructor) told us first sentence. This is the hardest class for the hardest test you will ever take.

I stayed in the class room till 9, 10, and the last couple of days 11:00. I would then come home and go to sleep and get up at 6am and start the whole thing again. Well, I got to come home on Sabbath and Studied on Sunday. I took the test on Monday morning September 11th. I am so happy to tell you I passed. So know I am back in St. Paul Minnesota to get oritentation into the company. That will take 2 weeks. I will then be done and in the feild.

Becky and the kids are at home. Jamie and Nathaiel love the school year so far. They seem to be having fun. Jamie really likes her new school.

Becky is thinking about opening her own business. I will give details on that later. I don't want to ruin her news.

A family Outing

Becky the kids and I all went for a real noice hike on Sabbath. We took the Camera and tooks some pictures. It is nice to have Sabbath off and not worry about being called in when you are on call. I love spending time with my family. I am going to be gone for almost 3 weeks starting tomorrow. Going for training for my new job. I have to bone up on insurance and insurace law. (Sounds like fun doesn't it). I know I will like the job. I am looking forward to it.

Here are some great pictures.
