Palin thrilled with move to Maricopa

A call Bristol Palin made to Anchorage station KWHL’s “The Bob & Mark Show” on Friday revealed some details about her Maricopa home purchase and personal life.

Palin told show deejays, Bob Lester and Mark, that, as suspected, she wrote a check for her house in Cobblestone Farms with money she earned through her appearance on “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I’m thrilled,” Palin said of her new life in Arizona. “I love the town I live in. I love my house. Tripp’s happy. He’s healthy. Everything’s great.”

Radio announcers Bob and Mark asked Palin about rumors that she changed her son Tripp’s last name from Johnston to Palin. Palin said she had spoken with her former fiancé Levi Johnston about the possibility of making the change and asked him to sign over his custody rights, a request he refused.

Palin added that Johnston has not seen the baby much lately. “’Since Dancing with the Stars,’ he’s seen him, at the most, three times,” Palin said on-air. “It’s unfortunate for Tripp, but …”

Looking ahead, Palin told the on-air personalities, “I’m working on a few different projects,” adding that she is pursuing a job with Phoenix radio station 96.9.

The Mix job was formally extended over the air by the channel’s morning disc jockey, Matthew Blades.

If Palin were to accept, she would work alongside the morning show talk host.

“I think that Bristol’s outlook on life is probably different from mine, and that contrast could be interesting to listen to,” Blades said.

“I’m going to meet with them,” Palin said, “and see if it’s actually legitimate and if I would like the guy I would be on air with.”
