Leslie enjoys boating and brunch and breaking out the Roger Rabbit on the dance floor to her husband's horror. She also enjoys alliteration. Leslie is a product of the American South, boasting an enviable lineage of cotton pickers, coalminers, and Mary Kay ladies. She grew up as an every-time-the-doors-open Southern Baptist and knows all the words to every hymn ever written (except the third stanza, of course - if you know you know). She graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in communication and a minor in theatre, which has proven to be predictably useless. Roll Tide. Leslie lives with her husband Jeff, her daughter Eden, and Sugarbell, Sunflower, and Clover in South Carolina, where they attend NewSpring Church––not the dogs, just the people.
