A Montana native, I started my radio career in 1984 and have always been passionate about the industry. At the beginning of my career, I worked at fast food restaurants during the day and the radio station at night. I met my husband in radio, in fact, I hired him, and I usually say that I felt so bad for him I married him! I enjoy spending time with him and our two kids, our son Triston and our daughter Bailey. I love to read, play sports, and spend time at our family cabin in the Big Horn Mountains.

Hoarding or Collecting?
Part of my job is driving around and looking to see what's new or happening in our community. I was out and about this weekend (I won't tell you where) and I saw this house. To be completely honest, my first thought was, who would paint their house that color of blue...
Love That Lasted for Over a Half A Century

So Bummed That Another Business Is Closing

What Movies Make You Cry?
I love a great movie as much as the next person. I will tell you that I rarely cry during movies, though I will admit I cried at the end of "Toy Story 3" when Andy gave away his toys and during "Steel Magnolias" and "Fried Green Tomatoes...
Who Needs Cake? Let Them Eat BOOGERS!
How many times have you seen a young child (or an adult for that matter) pick their nose and then eat it? Gross right? Well, maybe not. Did you know that there is actually research that says eating your boogers could be good for you? How would one go about getting people to volunteer for this research exactly...
Cleaning Up in the Shower
For those of you who still use bars of soap in the shower, and not shower gel, do you do what my husband does and get a new bar of soap before the other one is completely gone? At first I thought that he just didn't see the bar of soap in the shower caddy, so he got a new one...
Hello Mr. Snow Creature
When Mother Nature gives you roughy 48 inches of snow .. make a snowman, or in this case a snow creature. I think we can all agree that we are about done with all of this snow and are looking forward to spring and warmer temperature. It could be worse, we could have the current weather that Denver and Wyoming is having...

Another Iconic Restaurant Has Closed
I was so bummed the other day when I ran over to Laurel and noticed that the Owl Cafe was closed down and for sale. I realize that this is old news for those that live in Laurel or those that go to Laurel frequently, but I don't make it over there very often and just saw this the other day...
