Newbie Intro

Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself. I just moved to AZ this week from New Jersey.

 It is quite different, but I love it so far.  :)

  • Welcome to AZ! What side of the valley are you living on?  It will start cooling down here over the next two months.  Then you will REALLY love it! :)

  • Thanks! I'm in Maricopa. I've visited here in October and December and love the weather then!
  • Welcome to AZ!!! What brings you out here?
  • DH and I relocated here since NJ is ridiculously expensive to live in. My family moved out here 2.5 years ago and his father also moved out here.

     I can't get over the taxes here, when I heard $1000, I thought it was per month not per year! haha Jersey taxes are crazy. 

     We are hoping that DH will secure a transfer with Coca Cola out here, and I am looking for a job in graphic design. 

     If anyone has any rec's of obgyn, hair, restaurants,etc, I would greatly appreciate it :)

  • Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for Maricopa. But welcome to the board!Party!!!
  • Welcome to the board!  GL on the job hunt!
  • Welcome to AZ and the board!

  • Welcome!  We just moved out here from north Jersey earlier this year, small world!  I  hear you about the taxes, we laugh when ours are due.  We have friends back in Jersey that have a smaller, older home then us and they are paying like $8k a year.  We pay maybe $2k!  LOVE IT!!!  I have a couple doctors that I have found and like so far. 

    OBGYN- Dr. Ingrid Haas 480-483-9011, 10617 N Hayden Road Suite B-102 Scottsdale

    Primary- Dr. Kim Olsen-Gibbs (oldtown Scottsdale) 480-949-9047, 7301 E 2nd Street Suite 300 Scottsdale

  • Welcome to the board!

    I don't know how far it is from Maricopa, but I go to Dolce Chandler for waxing- and they do good hair from what I've seen, haven't really had an experience!

     If you need facials or waxing though, Jamie is your girl :)

  • Welcome my fellow East Coaster. We just moved here 3.5 months ago from Upstate NY and we love it!

    We live in Tempe so I don't know anything about Maricopa...sorry.

  • Hello! I don't have recs either but welcome to AZ.
  • Welcome! Be sure to check in & post often. We're trying to keep this board active. Just a few months ago it would have maybe one or two post a week. :p

    I was just joking the other week about applying for a job w/coke.

  • Thanks for the warm welcome!
  • Welcome to AZ and the board! 

     Hawaii---  How funny, Kim is my primary doc!  I LOVE her to death.
