1.5 changes

dedicated to leah. hopefully this will inspire her to start blogging again :)

the new hair style is also dedicated to leah since she was hating hard the old hair.

life continued at the jenkin household. both kanye and katelyn were advancing with their careers. as kanye climbed the ranks he still struggled with how to tell katelyn. should he tell her? would it be worth it? it was stressing him out.

and katelyn could feel that something was different. her job was pretty stressful. she was always out in the limelight. she worried that she was spending enough time with her husband. or her kids for that matter. they were growing up so fast. she was thankful they were so close.

they played together all the time. they even created a secret language. although katelyn thought it was weird, it was also very endearing. she hoped they would stay being close as they gold older. it's always good to know someone has your back. she wished she had siblings to support her though her hard times.

aaliyah was exactly like her father. she was so charismatic. very inquisitive. you couldn't keep a secret in the house without aaliyah finding it. katelyn had all but given up on christmas. she simply put aaliyahs presents under the tree in the shopping bags she bought them in, there was no point. aaliyah always seems wise beyond her years. even before she could speak, you could see it in her eyes.

while her brother john was so different. even now as a 6'1 teenager, he had a child-like innocence about him. he was such a sweetheart. so gullible, poor thing. and the girls were like vultures. katelyn had to laugh but she was not ready to be a grandmother. not yet at least.

recently she and kanye had been arguing about their finances. where was all their money going.

"if we're so rich, why the f*ck don't we have any f*cking paint on the walls!"

but it always passed. when katelyn complained about something, as soon as she turned around, it was. case in point, when she came home that night, the entire house was repainted and the floors had been redone. she was suspicious, but she figured if it was that serious kanye would tell her. she trusted her man with all her heart.

she never loved anyone like this. and he always showed her that he loved.

speaking of love... john was a ladies man. every day there was a different girl. it wasn't that he was falling for them necessarily, he just had a genuine love for women.

to deal with the pressures of life, katelyn turned to exercise. it was funny, it was actually kanye's workout plan, but as soon as she got on it, her parts in tv shows and movies started getting better. this plan was the truth! maybe someone should write a song about it. ;-)

aaliyah grew up very fast. it was just yesterday when she was a little kid. she has such a sadness about her. she is so secretive (just like her daddy) that no one really knew what was going on with her. her grades were amazing and she had friends, so no one was too worried. but her eyes portrayed a sadness beyond her years.

although nothing really bad was happening, katelyn felt out of control. she was easily distracted (as was evident by the burnt dinner every night), she wasn't sleeping well and she was alone. john would soon go off to college and aaliyah always locked herself in room. katelyn was lonely, and she didn't know how to fill the void.
