THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT SNOW
CHANCES ON THE WAY IN A FEW
MINUTES.
YOU HAVE SEEN HER ANCHORING
OUR NOON SHOW, SHE MADE HER
FIRST APPEARANCE ON MIDMORNING
LAST WEEK BUT TODAY, IS OUR
FIRST CHANCE TO WELCOME SHAYLA
REAVES TO THE EARLY MORNING
SHOW FAMILY.
GOOD MORNING, IT WAS A
LITTLE DIFFERENT SETTING THAT
ALARM A LITTLE EARLIER.
BUT, I AM SO EXCITED TO BE A
PART OF THE CCO MORNING FAMILY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF
THE PHOTOS YOU HAVE IN I KNOW
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MADE THE
THREE-DAY DRIVE FROM NORTH
CAROLINA.
LOOK AT THAT, MOM AND DAD, THE
BIG BOWL.
HOW HAS IT BEEN SO FAR?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MINNESOTA?
SO FAR, I FEEL AS THOUGH
ANYTIME I HAVE A QUESTION,
THERE IS SOMEONE RIGHT AROUND
THE CORNER TO ANSWER IT OR
SOMEBODY SAYING IF YOU NEED HELP
DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
AT A TIME WHEN WE ARE SOCIALLY
DISTANT AND CANNOT QUITE GATHER
THE WAY WE LIKE TO I FEEL
WELCOMED AND SUPPORTED IN MY
JOURNEY HERE TO MINNESOTA.
AND BOOTS READY FOR WHENEVER WE
GET THE FIRST SERIOUS SNOW.
WE KNOW YOUR LAST JOB WAS
NORTH CAROLINA BUT YOU HAVE
LIVED IN A BUNCH OF PLACES.
BORN IN TENNESSEE AND WENT TO
NORTHWESTERN NEAR CHICAGO.
LOOK AT THIS MAP WE MADE OF
YOUR JOURNEYS AND ADVENTURES.
I HAVE BEEN IN LOUISVILLE,
KENTUCKY, COLUMBUS, OHIO,
TAMPA, FLORIDA, GREENVILLE,
NORTH CAROLINA AND NOW HERE IN
THE TWIN CITIES.
MY CAREER HAS HAD ME OUTSIDE
COVERING BREAKING NEWS AND
WHETHER AND EVERYTHING IN
BETWEEN.
NOW, MY JOURNEY HAS ME HERE AND
IT IS THE FARTHEST NORTH I HAVE
EVER BEEN.
HOPEFULLY, I AM PREPARED.
WE WILL FIND OUT.
I HAVE AN ADDITION TO COLD-
WEATHER CLOTHING I HAVE TO
GATHER THE SALT TO LAY DOWN THE
CAR, I GOT MY WINTER TIRES OVER
THE WEEKEND SO HOPEFULLY I AM
CHECKING THINGS OFF THE LIST.
WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT YOUR
JOURNEY IS HERE TO MINNESOTA
RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU
ON THE NOON NEWSCAST AND ON THE
MORNING AND EVERY DAY ON WCCO
THIS MORNING WITH JASON.
HE IS OFF TODAY BUT, WANTED TO
SEND A MESSAGE.
HELLO, I AM SORRY I CANNOT
BE THERE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY ON
OUR MORNING SHOW.
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU.
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO KNOW
YOU OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
MONTHS AND MINNESOTA WILL
ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU.
WELCOME TO THE MORNINGS,
WELCOME TO MINNESOTA AND WE
WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
CAN YOU SEE HOW EXCITED WE
ARE TO HAVE YOU.
LOOK AT JASON DOING WORK
WHEN HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE OFF
ENJOYING TIME WITH FAMILY.
YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET.
I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING.
I HAVE INSTANTLY FELT LIKE I AM
A PART OF THE CCO FAMILY.
YOU ARE THE REASON WHY AND I
APPRECIATE EVERYTHING.
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS
FAVORITE FOOD I HEAR OF YOURS.
STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH
STRAWBERRY ICING.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES BUT, I DO
NOT OFTEN HAVE TIME WHEN IT
COMES TO BREAKFAST I DO NOT
HAVE TIME FOR WHAT MY FAVORITE
ACTUALLY IS.
WHEN YOU ARE WAKING UP SATURDAY
MORNING AND YOU HAVE THE TIME,
SCRAMBLED EGGS, BACON AND TOAST.
IT JUST WARMS YOU UP TO GET
YOUR DAY STARTED.
FAVORITE MOVIE, THIS HAS BEEN
FOR A WHILE, MY HUSBAND USE TO
CRACK UP.
THE NUTTY PROFESSOR WITH EDDIE
MURPHY AND THE DINNER SCENES.
WHEN I GREW UP I PROBABLY
WATCHED THAT 100 TIMES.
MY FAVORITE HOBBY IS CRAFTING.
HOPEFULLY, I WILL GET TO SHARE
SOME OF THAT WITH YOU GUYS
BEING A PART OF THE EARLY CREW.
WE HOPE SO, THE STUFF YOU
MAKE IS BEAUTIFUL.
WELCOME FROM ALL OF US, WE ARE
EXCITED TO HAVE YOU.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT AND
HOPEFULLY YOU AND JASON GET A
LITTLE REST AND, TIME WITH YOUR
FAMILIES.
