On my last flight of the football season and wanted to take this time to say thanks to all my @espncfb colleagues for their support over the last two years of flying with Scout. When they hired me I was a single girl with no kids and since getting married and becoming a mom they have only been more and more supportive of me and my quest to continue working while being the best mom I can be. The men on this @collegegameday crew have held this baby girl on flights, played with her on fields and been more than understanding when I have to make last minute adjustments because of her. To all you young women out there who feel the pressure to choose between your desire to follow a dream in the workplace and desire for family, know that it can be done... but only with the help of encouraging and understanding people at home and at work. Sorry for the novel (and no, we don't usually fly private... Normally Southwest with all the other screaming babies but thanks
