It's been almost a month since I made the big move
from Texas to Arizona. For the first time in my life,
I have moved to a place where I am more than a five
hour drive from my nearest family member (I am a two
hour plane flight). I am extremely close to my parents
and to my two older brothers. So, I was a bit nervous
about moving here...I worried I would become homesick.
To my surprise, I am as happy as I have ever been in
my life! I absolutely LOVE Phoenix. And, I LOVE 3TV!
The people at the station have been so kind to me.
Co-workers learned I was moving to a town where I
didn't know anyone, and have gone out of their way to
make me feel at home. They have invited me to lunch,
dinner, sporting events, concerts, day trips, nights
out on the town...etc. I find myself busy nearly
every day of the week! Now, I know why they call 3TV,
"Arizona's Family." It truly is a family. And, I'm
so happy to call it, and Arizona, home...
Marissa Wingate is the best reporter in the World! She rocks!
I googled you and found this blog. We miss you so much in Austin...I was wondering what happened to you. It sounds like you are at a wonderful station. I will try to see some of your work when I figure out how to navigate this web site. Our loss is a gain for Phoenix. Will
Welcome to Phoenix. Stick around for a while.
You go girl!!! Ms Jodi

Hi Marissa: I'm just a viewer. It looks like you have lots of people that care about you, that's so nice!
Could you please put a photo of yourself in your blog, some of us have not seen you yet. I had a baby in late May so watching tv has not been high on my list but i do try & keep up with thru the net.
Thanks & welcome to AZ

Marissa,
As you know, I've been praying for you for a very long time and continue to do so. We are so happy for you that you love Phoenix. You can see Darrell and me at Grand Canyon,AZ at trnmusic.com.
Love, Miss Ann
Nice site! Keep up the good work!%
Hey Marissa, we really miss you down here in south Texas. I hope you haven't forgotten about news channel 5 in Weslaco, Tx. I was a teenager crazy about you, I think it was one of those teenage crushes. Well now that youre in phoenix I hope everything is okay! If you ever get tired of the big city, dont forget about the smaller cities, take care!
you're hot...you were the hottest chick in my wedding!! luv ya
marissa, i was wondering why you weren't on the air anymore in austin. i'm sad that you're in phoenix, but i wish you all the best.
you walked by me one afternoon on congress avenue in austin and I've had a crush on you ever since. But alas, my friend who actually works at Fox 7 would never introduce me to you.....i'm still mad at her.
and now you're in Phoenix...
I've have known you since the 6th grade and and you are one of the kindest and greatest individuals I have the honor of calling my dear friend. I think it is amazing and wonderful to see you doing what you love so much. It's so interesting to look back when we were in school and to see who we've become.I can't help but smile. We miss you in Tx...Come visit when you do start to fill homesick...Have Fun, Be Safe, and keep smiling Riss.....Luv ya
