Okay Toledo. Tears are no stranger to me these past few weeks. It’s very hard to leave FOX Toledo…I have enjoyed my two years here so much! Thank you to everyone who supported me; I felt love all over this town. I made a video documenting some of my favorite moments as the Face…I hope you enjoy it!

I will miss you more than you know!!!!

This was so much fun! Sylvania’s Octoberfest celebration included a parade, and I helped out Sylvania VET. The theme was “101 Dalmations” and you’ll see why…

Yesterday both Faces, Julia and Ashley, headed out to Oak Harbor for some good old fashioned classic car fun. We even adorned the gear that firefighters use to save the world!

Check out how much fun we had while at Oktoberfest over the weekend. Everyone got to meet the new Face, Ashley Johncola! We also took part in the American Diabetes Associasion’s Step Out — Walk to Fight Diabetes.

Yes, it’s true….we got to meet the REAL Curly from the Harlem Globetrotters!  He was super cool.  You’ll start to see some commercials featuring the legend, as well as me, Julia, and the new Face, Ashley.

Ladies and gents, you are so close to having a brand new FACE!

Tomorrow, six contestants will be coming downtown to Four Seagate for their final interviews.

As I’ve said before, I’m really sad to be giving up the best job in the world, but I’m excited to see what else life has in store for me. And I’m also really anxious to find out who will be the next person to represent FOX Toledo on the air and out in the community!

By Thursday of this week, YOU will know the outcome in a special program that will air at 11pm. You’ll not only get to see the winner, but you’ll also get to take a look at the entire process that went into seclecting the new Face.

Just You Watch…..and Just You MISS Me. Because I will definitely be missing all of you.

What a busy weekend! I had three Face events, as well as my Grandmother’s 90th birthday party.

Friday night was the Anthony Wayne Youth Foundation’s Party in the Park….Sunday morning took me to Millbury, OH, for the annual Ox Roast….and Sunday afternoon I was at The Appliance Center for its Grand Opening Celebration.

Here’s some fun video from the Millbury parade….It was a blast!

Trusting little girls with my flip video camera proved to be an adventure in photography!

I’m not sure why, but I’ve had an icredible stream of bad luck lately. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “Wow, if you didn’t have bad luck, you wouldn’t have any luck at all, ha ha”….yeah I’ve heard that one a lot lately.

First of all, my transmission went out (it actually died one day in rush hour traffic after doing my daily TMZ report) and it has created problems ever since. After another trannie from the junkyard, (which also died) I am once again waiting for the car to be fixed, and now I’m completely without a vehicle. Bummer.

One day recently I opened up my credit card statement to find many charges that I did NOT make. I have no idea how some horrible person got my credit card number, but I’m just happy that the company did not hold the charges against me.

I had tickets to the Shinedown/Staind concert and had tucked them away in a safe place: my purse. Well, one night at the restaurant where I work, unbeknownst to me, the coffee pot overflowed and and the inside of said purse got soaked. To make a long story short (which it really isn’t) the tickets were ruined. I freaked out, but my GM here at FOX Toledo and sales-guy Russ helped me get it all worked out.

In additon to all that, I’ve had some ongoing health problems (nothing too serious) and it seems like little annoying things go wrong. Every. Single. Day.

I’ve really been trying to keep my chin up….people usually refer to me as an extremely positive, carefree person. I’ve even been referred to in past months as “happy-go-lucky.” Needless to say, I haven’t felt that way as of late. But things seem to be slowly improving, and my FAITH is strong.

Just wanted to share a little piece of my world with you. And if you’re one of those people who have GOOD luck, please send some my way!
