1)  I'm a twin.  My twin sister, Christi, is a stay-at-home mom in St. Louis.  We're fraternal.  She's slightly taller with darker hair.  I was born first (by seven minutes), so I'm technically the "big" sister.

2)  I'm adopted.  I met my biological mother when I was 25-years-old.  We see each other every two or three months.

3)  I met my husband at a bar (Skip's Place- the night it changed ownership and became McGinty's Pub).

4)  I have three young children (4-year-old daughter, 2-year-old son, and 1-year-old son).

5)  I started working at KMIZ-TV fresh out of college as a 21-year-old, back in 1997.  Teresa Snow (news anchor at KRCG) was the News Director who hired me.

6)  I pulled off a FAKE sex tape joke on my in-laws (with my husband's help), when we were newlyweds.  We played the tape on Easter Sunday, at a family gathering.  Best practical joke EVER.  We're now legends, in his large family.

7)  St. Louis is my hometown, but I LOVE Columbia.  I've been here for 12 years and I hope to be here forever.

8)  I actually LIKE my boss

9)  I taught Broadcast Communication at my alma mater, William Woods University, from 2001-2003.

10) I have play dates with Megan Murphy (KOMU morning anchor) and her son, Cooper.  We get lots of double-takes and stares.
