Tell us what you’re celebrating this week. Whether it’s a milestone in your career, a family achievement, a community event, a birthday or something good happening in your neighborhood, we want to hear your stories.

“Happy wedding anniversary to our dear niece Nicole and Kamran! Your love just beams like the sun!”

~ Julie and Dale Hammons, Inver Grove Heights

“Happy birthday to Jackie Rice, 90 years young today. Also celebrating a birthday is the amazing Molly Bachman, yogi extraordinaire and radio broadcast legend Steve Woodbury. Happy birthday, Woody!

“Speaking of broadcasting, today's the last day on the job for Morning Edition's lead producer Gracie Stockton. Gracie's been with us for about three years, and she has been a terrific partner. She is a news hound. She's spent many mornings tracking down newsmakers, making sure you are well informed, while also juggling all the pieces that make this show. Working with Gracie has been great fun. Gracie's leaving for WCCO Radio. We'll still have to get up early though. Gracie's going to be WCCO's new morning news anchor and editor. Best of luck, Gracie, and thank you.”
