LISA ANDREWS on the stand
<missed the first few minutes>
--dated Travis, was friends before dating. Saw each other at gatherings and then started texting.
--dated Steve Bell prior to dating Travis, for about four months.
--Broke up with Steve and then started dating Travis six months later.
--During the six months she was friends with Travis.
--Bell is part of the Mormom church.
--When she was friends with Travis she mostly hung out in groups with Travis.
--Travis spoke to her about PPL. Travis suggested it as a job for her as she had lost hers.
--She dated Travis for 7-8 months, started in July 2007.
--Broke up in the middle/end of February 2008.
--while they dates they emailed, texted, and IM'd, and called each other.
--also went on dates.
--lisa.andrews87 was her email address while they were dating.
--they had broken up a few times while they were dating.
--While they were broken up "sometimes" Travis continued to text her until the final break up.
--After the final break up they continued to have some contact with each other.
--She was 19 when she started to date Travis.
--Travis started talking about marriage "fairly early", "earlier than she was comforatable with".
--She did not want to get married at that point of time as she was too young and immature, too young to be married and she told those things to Travis.
--This was the main reason they broke up the second time.
--The first time they broke up she believed that Travis was cheating on her with Jodi. A former roommate of his told a friend of hers who then told her.
--She confronted Travis.
--Travis continued to text and email her. He told her he "still cared" about her and they got back together.
--When they got back together Travis addressed a lot of concerns and she felt that she could trust Travis.
--They dated for months and then broke up again. This time Travis was getting more serious about marriage and she wasn't ready. Travis would have been 30 years old at that time. In the Mormon religion, 30 is old to be married. Travis was concerned he wasn't married yet, it was one of his goals.
--She broke up with Travis because if he was at a point in life where he wanted to be married he should explore other options. This was the end of November or early December 2007.
--They told each other they loved each other.
--She believed that their relationship was exclusive.
--She knew that Travis still had contact with Jodi Arias and another woman, Deanna Reid (spelling?).
--She knew that these were women that Travis had previously dated but she did not believe that they were romantically involved.
--She felt that if Travis were to be in an exclusive relationship he shouldn't be having contact with members of the opposite sex.
--She had suspicions that Travis was cheating.
--Travis and her went to Sedona for the day.
--In the Mormon religion it does not look good for two single people to go on overnight trips together.
--She was aware that Travis had gone on trips with Jodi.
--She knew of two trips that Travis and Jodi went on.
