So do I get a 40D with a 17/85is, a New 28/135is, and sell or keep the other 28/135, a 18/55 and sell one. or just get a body.

Will she let you use her lenses? <grin>
I got a 40-D this month -- just the body. I have been using it with an old 17-35/2.8L lens that was sitting unused in the back of the locker. It's a fine combination, especially since I can correct the amazing chromatic aberration in Camera RAW. But I usually want something a little longer, so I end up carrying a 50 or an 85, or an old 70-200. None of these lenses have IS, which I have grown to enjoy. (And carrying a second lens can be a pain.)
I think I'm going to pick up a used 17-85 IS as a kick-around lens for this camera. I was considering the 24-105, but it's just not wide enough for my taste. I know the 28-135 isn't even close to wide enough for me. YMMV.
If you can share lenses, I would do that for now. Save a few bucks, and figure out what you really need before buying.
BTW the 40-D is a nice little camera. It's not as responsive as the 1D2's that I use at work, but it's a lot better than the 20-D.
