My name is Leslie and I am becoming a bubba-ette. I'm writing this blog to tell my story...


Two years ago, I was leading the high-flying urban lifestyle of a single New York City based career woman living on the Upper East Side of New York. Not exactly "Sex in the City," but I was having fun. You see, I love New York City and all it has to offer.

I love to attend classical music concerts in Carnegie Hall.
I love to listen to the blues downtown.
I love to skate at Rockefeller Center.
I love to swing dance outside at Lincoln Center.
I love to eat Greek food in Astoria.
I love to sunbathe at Brighton Beach while eating Russian specialities I bought on the street.
I love the bright lights, big city.

Just when I had everything going...I met a Southern boy and fell in love. Well, actually we met 12 years ago and that was in a business context and it wasn't love, it was just professional compatibility. But that's another story...

So, now I'm in love and in process of adjusting to life in the Low Country, which for those of you who do not know, is in South Carolina. I live in a place where, if I want to grab a cup of coffee with a friend, I have to drive 35 minutes. I am in the middle of nowhere...

The changes are dramatic: from North to South; from urban to rural; from single to engaged, about to be married to a man who has 4 grown children. I will become a kind of grandmother without having been a mother.

I invite you to come here regularly to hear the sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always amusing stories of the transition from a city girl to a Southern bubba-ette.
