I cannot believe this day is actually here.  My last day at WIBW-TV.  I came to Topeka in September of 2008 as a naive, wide-eyed, hungry young girl, who had no idea what to expect.  I feel like I am leaving with a wealth of knowledge and good friends.  I have learned a LOT in my 3+ year tenure at WIBW, and I will truly truly miss my co-workers and all of you.

I want to express my thanks to each and every one of you.  For giving me a chance to grow into my first career as an on-air meteorologist.  For your comments and constructive criticism-- both the good and the bad.  It made me a better forecaster, a better broadcaster and a stronger person.

I will certainly miss Topeka, but I am excited for the new chapter in my life (or at least, I’m trying to be!  Change has never come that easy to me…)  I am moving to Spokane, WA after my November wedding in Minnesota- my fiancé has taken a job there. 

I am very blessed to have started my career at such an amazing station.  I could not have asked for better bosses, better co-workers, a better weather team; a better station in which to begin my professional career.  I could not have asked for better viewer or a better community.  I have had so many great opportunities and memories here in Topeka, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Again thank you- and God bless!
