There's something freaky about the cubicle pod where I sit in our newsroom. 

Everyone who sits here, either gets married or pregnant.

I swear, it's the weirdest thing.

My cubicle neighbors are Mick Trevey, Lauren Leamanczyk, Heather Shannon, Charles Benson, and a producer named Lacey.

Last year, our Mick announced he was engaged, and shortly thereafter, tied the knot. 

A few months after that, I found out I was pregnant, and had my gorgeous baby Noah.

Then guess what --- Lauren, Heather and Lacey all announced their engagements.

And the lovely brides all tied the knot in the last month.

Here's Lauren:

Here's Heather: 

And Lacey:

(Not sure what Charles' milestone was.  Bet he had one, but just didn't share.)

Now here's where it really gets weird...

Reporters Tom Murray and Jay Olstad also joined our pod during a mini shakeup in the newsroom.

Not long after moving in with our little group, they both announced their engagements to their sweeties.

It could be a mystical aura from the translucent lights above our cubicles... or maybe it's something in the dust that lines our desks...

More than likely , it may be that one person's happiness just has a way of rubbing off on others.

Whatever it is, we've all had a fantastic year.

So here's to the continued happiness for our milestone pod!
