*Aloha, my name is Leslie ;). I am a European Mutt! My heritage is Italian, Irish, Albanian, Dutch, Polish and Czech. I am also a CHRISTIAN and have been since I was a child...NOT a "Bible Thumper" but I truly believe in Jesus Christ!!! I wouldn't want to live this life without HIM! NOBODY should. LIFE is about more than yourself...It's NOT always about ME! There is a BIGGER PICTURE!!! I try to be a good witness even though I have and still do "mess up" so many times in my life. He has still BLESSED ME...but also I have "suffered" due to my actions. YES, I have partied on occasion and have been intimate, but I DO NOT believe that this will ruin my relationship with Him! He is true and just to forgive and forget! I am NOT PERFECT by any means, but I still TRY...I have had fun and joy in my life, I have had pain and hurt in my life BUT I have NO REGRETS except for "hurting" Christ. I don't care what people think about my beliefs, they are REALITY! Just look at the world and "open your eyes!" WHY NOT BELIEVE AND LIVE ETERNALLY WITH CHRIST! You MUST "repent" from sin though, otherwise, it doesn't count! I am currently a Nanny for three children. I would actually rather watch kids then wait on tables again...that is, until I can totally live off of my "passion"...PHOTOGRAPHY! I NEVER thought I would be able to look after children, let alone enjoy it! But for all the love and time I have spent with my nieces has made all the difference! Photography has been a "gift" from God! The BEAUTY He has created is something I try to appreciate in my everyday life! There is NOTHING like it..."capturing the moment," even the simple things that happen daily. I take more photographs than anybody I know, hehehe. So, if you DON'T like to be photographed, you won't like to be around me! Just a WARNING ;) My photography business name is "L.A. Photograph." I started this professionally in the year 2000'. Besides my own personal work, I have photographed weddings, bands, parties, senior pictures and portraits. I want to find that "perfect someone" that God has for me... I am TIRED of the "chase" and just want something "genuine and real." Someone who believes the same way... ;) And NOW I want to "wait" until marriage whether it'll be hard or not! Why not do it the "right way." Marriage should be SACRED and too many people today take it for granted! Otherwise, I will remain being SINGLE, something I am not afraid to be. I REFUSE to "settle" for less, I AM WORTHY!!! I do want children and am EXTREMELY close to my nieces!!! So, hopefully someday soon... ;P They bring me soooo much JOY! I'm NOT usually very patient, but for some reason, when it comes to children, I AM! I am also working on the RIGHT PATH that God may have me on...I have "wasted" enough time, not doing so. I moved to Maui in May of 2005, after my 30th Birthday! Maui is beautiful, but there is still NO PLACE LIKE HOME! I moved back home but I would LOVE to live near an ocean again someday...but ONLY if my family would join me. A NECESSITY for me! Paradise was just TOO FAR from my family and friends...and a bit lonely. I will ALWAYS visit though and keep a "special place" in my heart for the Island! This experience is something nobody can ever take away from me and I feel VERY BLESSED to have been able to live there! I lived in a jungle by the beach and upcountry in the mountains. They were BOTH breath-taking! I am a very honest, straight-forward, laid back and go-with-the-flow type person. But I do suffer with chronic headaches and neck pain. I still try to keep a "smile" on my face ;) Life can be HARD, but I try to act silly sometimes! It helps...Life is already too short ;0)~ I DO NOT like LIARS, cheaters or fake people...what is the "point?" JUST BE YOURSELF! Tell the truth and then we can deal...I went to College for 10 years and have two Associate degrees. One in Business for Fashion Merchandizing and the second in Art for Photography. Photography is my PASSION!!! Taking pictures has been my LIFE! I have been published numerous times and have shown my work in art galleries. I also did some modeling, mostly promotional work. I think that the human body is the most AMAZING thing that God has ever created!!! NO SHAME. I love to eat, so I'm not a cheap date...hehehe. I think I look great for my age although I am not as thin as I used to be, who is??? I enjoy going out dancing once in a while, otherwise I like to chill at home with a movie. I love anything LEOPARD! My family is VERY important to me and the older I get, the more I NEED to be around them. Friends are AMAZING too! I LOVE my dog! Sunshine makes me very HAPPY!!! Something I have to have. My 30s have made me feel more CONTENT than ever in my life! It's been a "wonderful" feeling to have, knowing "who you are and what you want." I jus wish I could find a man who actually KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS! Ugh. *BIGGEST PET PEEVE: "People who say they are going to call you and they don't and people who make plans with you and don't follow through!" Soooooo ANNOYING!!! How hard is it to pick up the phone and ask to make a change? We all have busy lives! EVERYONE has some kind of time...NO EXCUSES! It's called "common courtesy." My favorite quote is: "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!" It NEVER fails. You can say all you want but if your actions don't show it, then it's all B.S. *MOST IMPORTANT, I try DAILY to keep God as "numero uno" in my life, even when stuff happens...The ONLY THING that really matters in life. Believe me, I have TRIED! NOTHING else compares!!! Well, this is ME.
