From Boston to Boise

/

Back in August of 2014, Bri Eggers made the big jump going from KIVI in Boise, Idaho to WHDH in Boston. 

5 Years later and she's leaving Boston and headed back to Idaho, or Idahome as she called in in a social media post. 

“This is difficult, as you can tell, to say goodbye,” an emotional Eggers said in the video. “I will not be returning to 7 News after maternity leave.”  

Eggers is the daughter of a third-generation peppermint farmer in Idaho. She gave birth last month to a baby girl, Charli JoAnn.

“I really want our Charli to grow up with her grandma and grandpa close … and to learn to drive a tractor and learn how to irrigate, and she’ll get those opportunities there,” Eggers said in the video. “But she’ll never forget that she was born in Boston because we will remind her every day.”

Eggers said that doesn’t “have a lot of those answers of what happens for jobs after this.” She said she’s currently focusing on her new home and her family.
