HAHAHAHA i am laughing here Jeff because Leah has better Grammer then I do. In fact i forget sometimes that english is her second language and she gets all confused when i use Slang...lol Maybe i don't forget and i just like messing with her a little, Who knows..... But then again her mom was an english profressor so i guess she learned well.
I have never had a problem understanding Leah speak although her accent is pretty think but she hates talking on the phone because she thinks she can't speak well enough and then she gets nervous and doesn't know what to say!...lol We Instant Message eachother a lot more then we speak on the phone. We joke about when we meet that it will be silence because we will both be tounge tied. And when we do speak she always tells me to SLOW down because i talk so fast....Midwest (chicago thing)...lol...But to be honest those are the things that makes the relationship so appealing.
The uncertanity, the excitment, the different views of life and culture. Those are the things that i look foward to. The little misunderstandings in words that you have to explain.
Yea i agree we are in the same boat for sure. But i'm not that far ahead of you, if at all. Its nice to find someone thats on the same level of relationship as I. Crazy!
