Chelsey Hernandez is engaged

UPDATE

Chelsey Hernandez is married

KTRK abc13 morning consumer reporter Chelsey Hernandez let us know Saturday was the most beautiful day of her life as her mystery man boyfriend of three years asked her to marry him.

"I’ve been waiting for this moment to come and now that it’s here I’m completely speechless," Hernandez posted on Facebook. "This man went above and beyond to make his proposal so very special."

Apparently Hernandez's news colleagues helped out on this one too...she just didn't know it at the time.

Anchors Tom Koch suggested the photographer and Samica Knight threw Hernandez off her boyfriend's proposal trail.

Meanwhile, reporters Charly Edsitty, Brhe Berry and producer Krista Garvin kept the whole thing secret while planning a surprise party.

And photographer Jesus Amaya listened to Hernandez try to figure out the whole plan over the last months.

KTRK 13's Tom Abrahams gets unprecedented NASA access

Anchor Tom Abrahams, my old chum KTRK 13, is getting a view few have of the NASA shuttle program:

I am in the Mojave Desert this week working on a series of reports about the Space Shuttle Program.

The access NASA is affording us is unprecedented.

Thanks to my colleague Ted Oberg, we have secured a seat on the orbiter Discovery's ferry ride back to Florida. My photographer, Jesus Amaya, and I will ride aboard a C-9 military aircraft ahead of the 747, which piggybacks the orbiter.

No journalists have ever been allowed to do this during the two and a half decade long shuttle program. READ THE REST

The story airs next week. Both Tom and Ted are excellent reporters and overall good guys in the TV business.
