Britney Spears - Bottom of my broken heart. |
] |
Wow. Last night was my night off from work, and I spent it with Don. It definately had it*s up-S and down-S, the most important thing of all is that we made it through it.. at least, for now. We*re giving our relationship one last try, a week to see if things improve or not.
While I was online, I checked his other profile on Yahoo.. and realized that he had been associating with Andrea again. Only this time, he was making plans to go see her. He had told me he had to take Creed to the specialist over in Evansville, IN. He had failed to tell me that he was going to get on a plane over there, to go see this girl. When I read this, I froze.. tears starting falling.
I ended up waking him up, and asked him what the hell was going on. His response was.. 'Karri, I had to have a back up plan'.. I lost it, again. I broke down, and started crying. He grabbed me, and held me so close. He told me that he wasn*t going anywhere, and that I had to calm down. How could I calm down? He was leaving.. that was his intentions.
Well, that fight ended.. we*re trying to prove ourselves to each other for the sake of our relationship. He threw her number away, and he agreed to stop talking to her.. and really give this a chance. As, I do the same. I agreed to limit this computer time to a half hour a day.
And, for any reason.. if this don*t work out this week, and he does end up leaving.. I don*t know what I*m going to do. I love him with all of my heart, and I can*t stand the thought of him leaving me.. but I also want him to be happy. [sigh]
[You were my first love, you were my true love, from the first kisses to the very last rub. From the bottom of my broken heart, even though time may find me somebody new, you were my real love.. i never knew of.]
Another exciting thing happened last night; Our house was searched by the police station. Creed ended up getting caught breaking into cars last night, and guess where they searched? Here. Back in the bedroom Creed was staying in.. is where they found ALL of his things. Needless to say, he*s not allowed here anymore AND he*s sitting in jail. So, yeah.. that tells you what kind of person he is.

Since I really haven*t had time to update, I decided to take the time to give a detailed update. There*s been so much going on in my life, some good and some bad. Many aspects of my life are changing, and I*m having a hard time dealing with it all.
After my trip to Michigan to bring my [so-called] friend Alicia back down here, I have come to find out that she was never truly my friend. She wanted to get away from her mom*s house, so she asked if she could come stay with Don & I. I*ve known this girl since 7th grade, so I thought I could trust her. Don wasn*t too fond of the idea, but I convinced him to let her stay. I ended up getting her a job with me, and we weren*t charging her very much for staying with us. Well, after 2 weeks.. she started making plans, behind my back, to return to Michigan. She started slacking off at work, and finally.. she told me she was going back. She literally screwed us out of money, and also left our bedroom trashed. That made it harder for me to trust people, I mean.. after all, I knew her for so long, and she could do that to me?
The night she left, Don*s friend David came over at 1am. He was crying and upset, and said that his girlfriend had thrown him out of the house with nowhere to go and no money. So, of course we opened up our house again. In a sense, I felt sorry for him because I knew his girlfriend and I knew she was going to do this to him anyways. She*s still married, and currently going through a divorce.. she threw him out of the house 2 days after he lost his children because of lies his ex-wife made up about him. Anyways, he ended up going back to Naomi after she convinced him she wanted to be with him. Not even a week later, she threw him out again.. and, this time he ended up in a Psych ward! I feel [so] sorry for him, but there*s nothing I can do about it anymore...
Things at home haven*t been exactly great lately. Don & I have been fighting for the past 2 weeks, and it seems like things are [just] starting to get better. I*ve been spending alot of time on the computer, which has made Don think that he comes second to the computer, which it*s possible that I had made him think that.. but it*s not true. I just enjoy talking to people on her, and I really enjoy LiveJournal & Myownjournal. [sigh] Well, because of the lack of time I spent with him, he started talking to a girl online.. and was actually making plans to leave me for her. After a huge fight, he confessed his plans... and I lost it. Yes, I*ll admit that I was wrong for hitting him and pushing him around, but I couldn*t deal with this right now. I mean, I just found out my home was falling apart..
For those of you that don*t know, I live 500+ miles away from my family and I honestly didn*t know what to do/think. What I did know was that my life was falling apart.. and I didn*t know where to turn to.
Anyways, we*re trying to work things out and the last few days have been better. I*ve learned that anything can be worked through as long as your honest about it. I still have alot to work on, as does he, to make this work.. but, I*m willing to do whatever it takes to get this to work.
However, we have decided to take a few steps back in our relationship. We*ve called off the wedding for now, and we*re working on our relationship. We do love each other, more than anything.. that*s why we needed this time out ... [for us].

Wow. We had a crazy 24 hours here, and it*s still not 'normal'. lol. After work last night, Alicia ended up leaving to go back to Michigan. She thought she was going to get away with paying us $180 of the $298 that she owes, nah.. I don*t think so. She said that she would mail us the rest, upon receiving copies of the bills for the month of September. So, that*s fine.. I*ll make copies, and she better pay her portion. Then, when we went into her room.. omg. The mess we found! Dog shit everywhere, from her dog.. and, clothes/items left behind that I guess, she didn*t want. That was real nice of her.
Around 1am, we got a knock on the door. It was Don*s friend David. I guess, Naomi (the same girl i work with and david*s ex-gf) had kicked him out of his house, and he had nowhere to go. So, of course.. we opened our home up again. So, now David*s living with us.. but he*s agreed to help with bills & groceries without being asked. I like David, he*s a sweetheart.. going through a rough time. Since he*s Don*s good friend, I agreed to let him live here with us. Plus, Don asked him to be his best man.. :)
Omg. Yesterday, we were at the pawn shop.. just looking around, and I bought a cute collector*s bear.. it has a cross around it*s neck.. I have had my eye on this bear since I first seen it, now it*s home with me! :) It only cost us $25. That made my day!
That*s it for now.

We*re lookin into a wedding chapel over in Brown County IN, which so far looks like a plan. Once we have the money to put down to reserve the chapel, we*re going to go look at it first. So, we*ll see.. things are goin really good tho. We also have some pictures to post!

*sigh* Today, Don & I got into a huge argument. It all started over the fact that when we went to Wal-mart to take our curtains back, he forgot to take his wallet with him.. so, we had to go back home and get it. Then, when we went back.. I didn*t want to go inside with him. That*s where it all started. Alot of hurtful things were said, and shouldn*t of been. Both on my part, and his. It shouldn*t of turned into what it did, and probably wouldn*t of.. if only I would of talked to him earlier.
Every since I got back from Michigan, I*ve had an attitude with him. It*s not even really his fault, but I blamed him anyways. I had a really hard time leaving Dakota this time because I realized how much I was missing out on, and I almost decided to stay there. When I got home, I blamed this on Don because he doesn*t have a job.. and I feel if he was working, I would have more money to be able to go see my family. That*s what the argument turned into.. him not having a job. I pretty much called him worthless, and everything else.
I can*t express how sorry I really am to him. He may not have a job, but he does cook & clean. I just wish he*d find a job, but that gave me no right to treat him the way I did. Somehow, I hope that he forgives me for today.. I took my ring off, and everything. *frowns* I do want to marry him.. and work through these problems; good & bad.
Don, if you read this.. I truly am sorry. I want to be with you reguardless of what you may think.

[02 Sep 2004|04:35pm] |

We*re currently planning a 2006 summer wedding. We made a list of things we want, and made a budget for those things. I set the prices alittle higher than what I expect them to be, just to be alittle safe. I*ve been searching for places to have it, and I found one place.. for the ceremony/reception. Tell me what you all think:
Outside Gazebo Wedding:
Inside chapel wedding:
Both settings range from $500 - 1250.. so, we*re trying to decide which one we want. Let me know your input.. <3

The last couple of days have been pretty crazy around here. Hopefully, the rest of the week goes ALITTLE better. Don & I have been arguin like crazy, Alicia & Don went at it yesterday, and most importantly.. our puppy had to be put down today. *sigh* What a stressful week!
Don & I. Hmm. I*m not quite sure why this week has been so bad between Don & I, but it has.. we*ve had a total of 3 arguments already and it*s only Monday! lol. [1] About the lease agreement with Alicia. He didn*t like how I talked to her about things without him there. That might be o.k, but nothing is in writing so, nothings official YET. We*re going to sit down and talk about rules and how we*re going to handle the bills together. We got that situation settled. Later yesterday, argument [2] surfaced.I added Andy back to my Yahoo list. Don doesn*t want me talking to him because he*s an ex-boyfriend. We*ve patched up things from the past, and now Don is alittle shady on Andy*s intentions. Understandable, but I*m a big girl.. I can handle this.[3] Picking up after Don*s dogs. He thought I was going to clean up the mess his dogs made last night. O.k. normally, I wouldn*t have a problem with this, but the mess came from his dogs. I wasn*t even here last night, I was working.. so, why should I clean up HIS mess? Things are going o.k. now....
Tonight, we took Simba to the Animal pound.We*ve ran out of options with him, and we cannot afford the vet bills. He has mange, and we*ve tried almost all home remedies that we*ve been told. Nothing seems to be helping, infact.. I believe he*s gotten worse. So, tonight.. with Don*s decision, we took him to the pound. I must admit, I*m very proud of Don. I know he*s became attached to Simba, and it takes alot to let something close to you go.. and because Simba was suffering, Don decided to let him go.. [Don, I*m very proud of you. That was a very brave thing to do and very considerate]
Anyways, that*s what*s been going on here.. nothing too major to update, but alot going on with us. Also, we went to go register for our G.E.D today, but the lady wasn*t in the office.. we*ll try again soon. I guess, I*ll update more later...

Alicia moved in with us.
It*s been about a week since we got back from Michigan, and I*m not exactly sure that this is going to work out. She isn*t the same 'Alicia' that I remember, she has changed alot. Don*t get me wrong, she*s still my friend and everything.. but things just don*t seem the same. We*ll see how things go within the next month or so. I did end up getting her a job at Willow (where I work at) and she doesn*t really seem happy there. I don*t know, it might be me.. paranoid because Don & I have been burnt in the past, idk. Only time will tell..
Decided to go back for my ged.
Usually when it came to school, I always chose to do correspondence classes because I was always homeschooled and was afraid that I would fail. Well, I decided that I*m going to enroll in the g.e.d classes this October. Alicia & I are going to go back for our g.e.d together, so that might help. I*m finally going to acheive SOMETHING.
Don & I engaged and doing well.
Lately, things between Don & I have been going really well. Before I went to Michigan, he asked me to marry him again.. but this time, we*re talking about getting married in 2005. We haven*t set a date yet, but we*re starting to plan. We want to come up with a guest list & figuring out what we can*t do without & what we can, so we can figure out a budget.. and plan our date around that. I*ll update with a date/time/place when I know more. It*s actually happening; Don & Karri <3
There*s a quick update for now. Anyways, my trip to Michigan went pretty well.. it was very hard to leave, but I*m hopin to see Dakota & Andy again soon. My mom is still sick, she has graves* disease for those of you that don*t know. She*s very swollen & not doing very well.. Graves* disease is a thyroid disease, it*s not AS deadly as it sounds.. lol. I thought I*d clarify that because when I heard the name, it scared the sh*t out of me as well!

Things have been so hectic lately, i haven*t really had time to update. i*ll try to update a lil bit today, but i don*t have alot of time.. so here it goes. :)
{1} don and i have been fighting alot lately. it*s basically because i feel ignored. i*ve been working 40+ hours each week, so we can make ends meet.. and, all i ask for is to be able to spend time with him while i*m at home. so, i do get upset when he wants to leave while i*m home and actually awake.. ya know? *sigh* i don*t know, i*m probably being a baby about it.. but i don*t really care.
{2} work is going really good. i really enjoy working at willow grove. my boss, dana is really nice & understanding. the residents i work with are incredible, they are so sweet. i*ve made a really good friend out of it, i don*t know if she knows it or not.. but i really do like being around her.
don,
I know that things have been really crazy lately, and we*ve been fighting alot but I want you to know that I*m sorry. You mean everything to me. I*m not even joking when I say that.. Yes, I know you think that I came down here just to be with you.. and you*re right. I came down here on the simple fact of our future. I love you with all my heart, with everything that i am.. and I*m not about to let you go. I know that I*ve let you down, but all I really want is to be there with you & go through this together. Nobody has to be alone. I love you, Don.

I really didn*t think Don would put an entry like that in this livejournal. This was supposed to be something we could use to communicate together, just having input from others also. you know? Well, Don won*t be using this name anymore.
I*m really sorry about this.

First of all i'm not the jackass karri didn't tell you the whole story, what happened was karri was still talking to a guy by the name of steve and lied to me about it. She also lied to me about it alot,and then she had to lie to me about getting together with him while she was in michigan. She continued to lie about it and thats why everything is going the way it is. I also made some mistakes myself but i also came clean before she did, we are currently seeing eachother trying to work things out so no more comments about our relationship it's our business. But if you want to comment you can, but with pointers on how to get through this tough situation, thanks shortfuse.

This is my first post in this journal. So, I*m going to start this off by introducin my boyfriend and I. Possibly give a little bit of our history, just basically give you an idea of who we are and what we*re about. This entry is going to be nothing like the journal. I created this journal because I wanted a place for my boy and I to communicate, and this is going to be a place where we can express our love for each other. There*s going to be a share of good and bad, possibly even days when we write about things that you wouldn*t even want to hear about. So, just bare with us.. and enjoy your journey with us. :)

About the girl...
My name is Karri Sutphin, and my birthday is April 24, 1984 which makes me 19 years old. I graduated highschool in 2002 through Hornbeck Hilltop Homeschool. In September, I moved to Illinois from Michigan to be with Don. I*m currently enrolled at Olney Central College, and planning to be a certified Nursing Assistant. Tonight is my first night of work, and I*m employed at Willow Grove. I*ll be working as a CNA and a Rehab Tech. Once I get financially stable, I plan to go to college and study Social Work. That*s my ultimate career goal. I absolutely love to be around children, so I want to work in a Foster/adoption agency as a Social Worker. I enjoy spending time with Don, meeting new friends, talking online, watching movies, listening to music.. most of all, I absolutely adore my little brother, Dakota. My family and friends are the most important people in my life.
About the boy...
My boyfriend*s name is Donald West, but he likes to be called Don. His birthday is March 23, 1982 and he*s 21 years old. He moved to Illinois from Michigan in June of 2003. Right now, he*s not working but he*s looking. With the economy as low as it is, it*s very hard to find employment. He wants to be a truck driver, and he loves to travel. I hope that he someday makes that dream reality. He loves to watch wrestling, talking online, representing his clique (Crips), spending time with me, and being outside. In 2003, Don lost his mother to cancer. (RIP Sandy <3) So, he*s struggling with that right now..
Little bit of history about us
We met in 2002. *lol* This wasn*t exactly our best days, Don was dating a girl named Jenny and I was with a guy named Laun. Well, I didn*t get along with Jenny and Don definitely didn*t get along with Laun. Don wanted nothing more than to get his hands on Laun, so needless to say at this time we weren*t friends. That*s just how we found out about each other.
After Don and Jenny broke up, and Laun and I went our separate ways.. Don and I found ourselves running into each other at local stores, and we started talking 'small talk'. We soon realized that we didn*t have a problem with each other, and I kind of developed a crush on him. (He was/is very hot! heh.)
In April of 2003, Don and I started talking regularly and we*ve pretty much been inseparable every since then. We started dating April 17th, and spent alot of time together. April & May, we spent alot of time with his family because his mom was really ill. In June, I came to Illinois with Don for his mom*s funeral. Don and I spent the summer here, and in August I went back to Michigan.. only to find myself back in Illinois in September.
Right now, we*re finding ourselves in a very trying situation.. and I thought maybe this journal would be a great way to get everything out in the open. Once we get through this, we*ll be able to look back on what a wonderful thing we have started.
That is a summary of how we met, and how we got where we are today. I*m sorry if that seemed alittle boring, but I just wanted to explain to everyone how we became what we are today. <3
