We were setting up our live shot in front of Norfolk City Hall when we saw David and Alexandria Harris. They just got married! They’ve been together since September and David says it was love at first sight ❤️ Congratulations you two lovebirds!

“Brought the sexy back to chess.” Did he really just say that?? Getting weird vibes from QG crew all night on the #emmys

That #emmys acceptance speech from QG Director was sooo awkward. Also disrespectful to everyone in that room.

A police chase in Chesapeake last night ended with the suspect crashing into a car, killing two innocent people. He's now facing murder charges It felt familiar. Turns out, at least 6 police chases in Chesapeake have resulted in crashes, injuries or deaths *since May* @13NewsNow

Just now discovering I left an ‘o’ off of ‘too’ in my last Facebook post. I’m devastated, embarrassed, and this is my public apology. Not asking for forgiveness or sympathy…just patience in my time of grieving. #spelling (@RyanWoodDFW thoughts on ‘off of’ over ‘off?’)

Perks of waking up with #13Daybreakers…impromptu FaceTime with my dear friends @KeithJones and @LBustamanteNBC in Philadelphia! Keith and I started our careers together in Staunton, Va @WHSVnews. Lucy and I worked together here at @13NewsNow. I love them both so much!
