Can we bring it back? Let's get to know each other! I'll start...
I'm kind of cheating in that I don't actually live in South Jersey YET - we are going to be moving within the next few weeks. DH and I have been married 3 1/2 years and now have a spunky 6 1/2-month-old son and a silly dog. We are Christians, and a family full of food allergies. I'm dairy-free, DH is gluten-free, and DS is allergic to EVERYTHING (primarily soy, but also a bunch of other things), so our diet is very interesting. I enjoy reading, running and cooking, none of which happens much these days, and have high hopes of learning to sew in the near future. Okay, that's plenty about me. Tell me about all of yourselves! :-)
Re: This board is so dead!
My husband is an Army Reservist as well! :-)
I remember...I think we may have talked a bit on the Military Families board.
What area are you moving to and where are you coming from? What's your H's MOS? Did he find a new unit that's local?
I'm boring, lol. H (27) & I (28) live in Gloucester City (GIANT eye roll -- I hate it here, our house was for sale for over a year and a half and we finally gave up in September. I guess that's what we get for buying in 2006 and not checking the crystal ball of real estate first.... if we only knew... lol).
We actually work together, for the federal gov't, and our office is in Philadelphia.
We have 3 girls. Our oldest just started kindergarten this year and she likes to play soccer -- she plays year round, indoor starts in a few weeks, so between soccer & regular Sunday Church, our weekends are over before they start!
Oh, and we've been married 4.5 years -- if you do that math (or look at my wedding photos!) you can see that we had DD before we were married! We met in college and had her in the middle of our senior year.
Hopefully the board picks up! We try every few months, then it fizzles out!
Hi! I'm Katie, I'm 27 (for a few more weeks, anyway) and a dental hygienist. DH is a manufacturing tech. We live in Mount Holly and have been married for about 3 1/2 years. We had our first baby in May, a little girl named Claire. Right now I'm working 3 days a week and MIL watches DD. She may start daycare if I pick up more days at work. I'm dreading it (the cost, leaving her with strangers, illnesses) but I think it will be good for her, too.
I hope the board picks up soon!
I'm Kristin, 28, husband Keith is 30. We are expecting our first in April and we're Team Green! We are Christians also and live in Cinnaminson. I grew up in Maple Shade and Keith grew up in Collingswood. I love having a South Jersey board!!!
Oh, and we have a great little dog and cat who mean the world to us.
We were Team Green, too! It was the best decision I ever made (DH didn't make the decision- he took some convincing). DH told me she was a girl and I broke down crying. It was the best moment of my life, especially since I was convinced she was going to be a he. Totally worth it! Congrats and good luck!
Even later to the game! I'm Leigh, 32 and my husband, 30, live in Clarksboro (just outside West Deptford/Mullica Hill). We're both musicians and music teachers and are expecting our first on Feb. 18th. We're trying to get the house in order while getting Christmas things done AND both of us preparing our holiday concerts for school--it's getting crazy here! Once January rolls around, we'll be able to really relax and focus on this awesome new baby that's coming.
I'll be taking maternity leave from Feb-late May-ish and we'll both be off all summer. Maybe we can work out some play date stuff in the meantime.
Hi ladies! My name is Tammy and I'm 21, DH is 29 and we live down by AC and are expecting our first
I'm currently finishing my degree in 2D animation and DH is a chef. We're a fun family and we can't wait for our little one to come.
I'm glad I'm due in july, my maternity leave will consist of lots of beach time!
