Here's where I tell you even more about me.  Just in case you're curious, nosy, or trying to kill as much time on this website instead of doing the real work you should be doing. Here it goes. I'm a true Minnesota girl.  I shovel my car out when I'm stuck in the winter, I can make hotdish, I'm a Minnesota (well at least Minnesota for the time being) Vikings SUPERfan, Twinkies (as in MLB not Hostess) fan, a UMD Bulldogs (not an alumni, just a fan) fan, and I burn like a mother in the sun without sunscreen.  My husband is my best friend.  He's funny, caring, tall, dark, and handsome,  and he's a keeper!  My three kids (ages 11, 9, and 4) keep me young and drive me insane.  And I wouldn't change them for the world. I was born in St. Paul, graduated from Barnum High School, (Go Bombers!) and joined the Army Reserves where I served as a 46R (Broadcast Journalist) for 8 years.  I started out working at Mix 108 as the receptionist in 2003.  After I was deployed Baghdad, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom doing TV and Radio for AFN, I came home and realized I loved the radio thing...so I interviewed for the Morning Show on Mix 108 and have been loving it ever since. When I'm not working, wifing, mothering, or sleeping, I love hanging out with my family and the three best friends a girl could have.  I love to go camping--and yes, I stay in a tent,) play cards, Scrabble, read, do the crossword puzzle, or scrapbook.  I'm a ball of fun, I know. Ok, I think that's it.   Anything else you want to know you can probably find out from listening to Mix 108 weekdays from 9-2. Send me your request for the All Request Lunch Break! laura@mix108.com
