Happy Anniversary
Who knew that on August 20th 2000 I would meet the man I would love for the next 9 years... yes, I know - me, a habitual dater in Idaho, a loser magnet in Wisconsin, and finally just when I was ready to slut it up in La La Land, I ended up meeting a great guy and haven't looked back or even completely regretted my decision in all this time..As you can probably guess today is the 9th Anniversary of the Leivasons . Not the day we got married but more importantly, the day we met. I know you're all wondering how this all came about. How did a cute blonde boy from the Midwest end up with such a great guy...

Get those hankees ready cuz it's kind of hot... kidding, I mean it's romantic.

I knew the city would be the place for me. I was talented and cute and was only a step away from being a big time writer. It didn’t exactly work out that way but what did happen was much better. In the midst of circuit boys and drama queens, I found something more substantial than just a career or a good lay, I found someone to love...
