“It will take a strong woman to marry my son, with the work he does,” she told me,” and I believe you are strong.” Before Jeff Levering got down on one knee, I heard these words of approval from my future mother-in-law.
I’d have to be willing to make sacrifices. He’d travel A LOT. I thought I knew what I was signing up for when becoming a baseball broadcaster’s – a busy husband’s wife.
In the minor leagues: 140+ games in about 150 days. In the majors: 162 games in 180 days, not including six weeks of Spring Training and a possible playoff run.
The beginning of the challenging times
Jeff’s first gig in 2007, with the Rancho Cucamonga (CA) Quakes, was less shocking to my “girlfriend system” because I had school, work, and family near. However, it was the start of a long, winding road — for both of us – and I wasn’t fully prepared for the challenges and level of commitment in store.
In September 2010, I left the surf and sand of Newport Beach to live with Jeff in Springfield, MO, so naturally, he asked me to marry him.
Sacrifice number one- leaving my life for his!
Jeff had moved up to the Double-A level. We were married in October 2012. We built a life together, a community, and made lifelong friends. We had the best time living in Springfield.
