Knottie to Nestie transition

...has been hard to say the least.  I think it would be a wee bit easier if more of us married girls posted here.

Re: Knottie to Nestie transition

  • Agreed! With all the traffic on the knot Chicago board, you'd think this board would be a lot more busy then it is. I find myself on other nest boards and don't check this one for days.

  • Great idea!  I'm starting not to know who people are on Knot boards so it would be great to talk with some familiar faces.  :)

  • Agreed!  I'm making the transition myself.  Hi everyone!
  • Count me in for the transition! Glad you posted this!
  • I'm definitely in for the transition!  I agree if we all just start posting here it will pick up.
  • I am here as well! I only really lurk on the knot. I don't really have much to contribute anymore and it seems like the majority of them are getting married in the burbs so I am not much help!

    Congrats on your move Twinkfly! I remember how much you wanted to move back here, very exciting!

    Hey lady! Long time no see- and thanks. I love being back. Where are you living again?

  • We actually just moved to a loft in the West Loop from the Loop last month. We needed a bigger place and a more chill neighborhood. We are LOVING it. It is the furthest away from downtown I have ever lived and it is so nice, I actually feel relaxed when I leave work and go home! :)
  • I didn't post on the knot a ton, but I'm in for posting here more!

    I love that area, there are a lot of great night time haunts and it does seem a lot more relaxed than the loop! A lot of my friends are moving there, and that's a huge selling point if you can actually RELAX once you're home!

  • Hey, everyone! I agree with you, Amy, I don't know anyone on the knot any more and I can't be very helpful because I'm not familiar with all the suburb questions. 

     It would be great if people started posting here more!

  • I will play too!! I'm excited to get this board going!!

    I'm sure you guys can tell from my ticker, but we are having a baby in January. I know, so soon..haha!! I convinced Dh to let me find out what it is, and we are having a boy!!!

    yeah, there are a lot of awesome little places to grab "cheaper" bites to eat and cute boutiques. Your area is great for that too though!

     hey there! Don't you looooove your pics from LOP!! Did you guys order albums? We didn't originally get them in our package b/c I had great aspirations of doing them on my own and having them professionally printed but alas, I am lazy and do not have 1 printed wedding picture anywhere! I am thinking of going back to them and having them just pick the pictures and make me one.......

    And I want to know who's next to have little nesties ... definitely not me! But someone is next. Big Smile

  • Wow! Lots of familiar faces here. Thanks, Liz, for cuing me in about old Chicago knotties coming over here. I hangout on my local nest board after the move...but it's just not the same yet!

     

    Liz, so happy for you!! 

     

    Twink, congrats on the move back to Chicago! (JEALOUS!)

    Twink, congrats on the move back to Chicago! (JEALOUS!)

    Hey Nicole! Good to see you- hope you are enjoying the Oklahoma life! Not going to lie, Chicago is great! Do you guys ever foresee yourselves moving back (or anywhere else) or are you setting down roots for a while?

    You have to come and critique our lunches and dinners every day. :)

    Haha, all it takes is once, that is all I'm sayin ;) I went against my no knotting at work rule today. I couldn't resist!!

    Yay Nicole!

  • We'll either go abroad for DH to do another ex-pat assignment (I'm voting for Asia...I'd go for just about anywhere, but it would probably be Shanghai), or move back to Lake Michigan, just around the corner in St. Joe, MI. But that's only 90 minutes from Chicago...I can handle that!

    I have to say, Tulsa is wonderful. I love being a home owner and money goes SO far here. Plus, Tulsa-to-Chicago flies direct 8x/day. Can't beat that!

  • Hey ladies- Just popped in to say hello.  I am not on here too often, but I recognize most of you still.  Can't believe I am coming up on a year already!  (9/27)

  • I'm so late, but hi!  I still check the Knot, but I'm just not into wedding planning anymore.  Really excited about the idea of the Nest picking up though Smile  There were so many great Knot girls, and now I hardly recognize anyone over there.

    Hey!  Yes, I LOVE the photos...aren't you glad you went with LOP, too?  They were the first vendor I booked and my favorite!!  We did order albums but I haven't picked out the photos yet - oops.  :)  I am slowly working on picking out the photos but it's taking forever because I want to include so many that I just won't have room for.  I also don't have one printed wedding picture anywhere - hilarious!  I think I got lazy just because we have the CD of the photos so I know I'm not in a time crunch to order pics or anything like that, so I just put it off and keep thinking I'll do it sometime soon.  Oh, well. :)

    I am beyond happy with them! You wouldn't guess it since there is no actual proof. LOL. I too think it is just because I have the cd and know I can print them whenever. We have empty frames in boxes that I need to fill!
