Six Months!!

Breaking news!! It's been six months since I started anchoring the morning show. What?! How does that happen? It's been a wild ride so far and this has definitely been my favorite role in my television news career. 

I know a big part of my smooth transition has been thanks to my coworkers. Both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, it takes a village to get a 2.5 hour show on the air every morning. Not to mention the fact that we all go to work when the rest of the world is sleeping. Huge thanks to all of them--especially Andre, who has been such an amazing teammate and friend since the beginning. When you're new to a job and learning the ropes, sitting next to someone you trust makes ALL the difference. 

{ We took that picture a few weeks ago, on the day we found out we made KMOV history! For the first time ever, News 4 This Morning is the number one show in the market, from 4:30-6 a.m. Woohoo!! }

That Kent guy isn't so bad either. This picture is from the Fourth of July VP Parade--definitely a highlight!! Another situation where I was pretty nervous but because I was sandwiched between two pros, I knew I could go with the flow and everything would work out. Kent really can do it all, and make great TV in the process. I have to say Kent makes us laugh every.single.day. No small feat at 4 in the morning, trust me.

A lot has changed in six short months! A few weeks ago Alissa told us some VERY exciting news. She and her husband are having a baby!!! It is such a special thing to go to someone's wedding and meet their family, then get to share in the excitement of that couple starting their own little family. I couldn't be happier for Alissa and I've already volunteered to babysit. :-)

Another highlight of the last few months-- giving someone a car. For FREE. You can't help but smile when someone is having the best day ever, thanks in part to your place of work. Plus we took this great group shot of the on-air #N4TM team. It's nearly impossible to get all of us in one place, so this was a special occasion. I hear from a lot of viewers that part of why they like our show is because of our team feel. That we are! Sort of like a family-- we put the fun in dysfunctional. :-)

Another new addition in the last six months-- Kelly! She's a great reporter and has also really stepped up to fill-in on traffic when needed. SO glad she came to KMOV. I love to have coworkers who become fast friends!

Here's the latest anchor desk selfie, taken just this morning. The time has flown by and I can't thank you enough for all the support! It's been an incredible learning experience and I love getting to help you start your day off on the right foot. 

See you on TV!
