Rosemary Leveaux Coulter: Why I came to town and how I ended up staying
Five Years Later
I came to Hope Valley back when it was Coal Valley in the hopes of getting back with my fiance Jack Thornton. I did not know he did not want to be with me anymore after I left him to pursue an acting career years earlier. I also, did not know that he was starting to fall in love with another women which I later found out and I finally accepted it. I decided to stay in town though and I was beginning to love it. I was even starting to fall for another newcomer to town myself who was a saw mill operator by the name of Lee Coulter. We started to get comfy with each other and had started a relationship.
After a while one day out of nowhere, and when I least expected it after I turned down an acting job in a movie Lee proposed to me and I accepted it. Also, I slowly started to make friends with the other women of the town as well as the new school teacher slowly, which helped me decided to stay since I enjoyed the quant town so much. At first I did not know what to do as a job, so I attempted to start an advice column in the town paper using the pen name of Mary Rose. Eventually, I ended up working as a designer for the dress shop which Dottie Ramsey opened up about a year ago along with Clara Stanton who did the sewing. At first I even took over for Elizabeth when she went out of town to visit family. I even directed and rewrote the towns founders day play after the town was renamed Hope Valley. Also, every Christmas for the past three years I started a Christmas committee and organized the holiday programs and projects for the town. I was the kind of person who loved being in charge of almost everything that included planning and events. After I married Lee Coulter, we moved next door to Elizabeth Thatcher now Thornton in the row houses which had very thin walls. I loved listening in on conversations she had with Jack since they tended to be loud and the walls were paper thin. Over the years as I got to know Elizabeth better we eventually became close friends. I enjoyed my life in Hope Valley as I look towards my future with my now husband Lee as life continued on for us and the town.
