Officially--I'm a new NH/Concord resident!

I've sporadically checked in on this board, but I'm now officially a NH resident.  Moved here last week (from NYC) & am going to get my driver's license tomorrow.  So I should be hanging around more often now. 

Besides, I need to make friends--other than my husband & my in-laws, I know NO ONE!  Anyone? . . . .

We are living in Concord.  It's a big change from NYC, but I am so ready to be out of the city.  Wow--we have a garage!   Yipppee, I can buy more stuff to store & collect dust!

I am waiting to hear back about a job at Plymouth State University (is the commute going to kill me?).  If that doesn't pan out, we are currently TTC, & hopefully, I'll have my hands full very shortly. 

Anyway, the biggest thing I'm going to miss about NYC is Central Park & my work-out buddies.  So if anyone needs a biking/yoga/walking/running/skiing/cooking/swimming partner, let me know!

 

 

Re: Officially--I'm a new NH/Concord resident!

  • Congrats!!!!  I hope you are able to adjust okay, it is a huge change.... but I think it will be a change for the better.  You have so much more outdoor activity close by....  between the mountains, the lakes, the ocean, etc.

     Too bad you aren't closer to the seacoast though.... I'm a runner/biker/yogi/swimmer.  LOL

    Best wishes with getting settled!
     

  • welcome to the area, we live about 15-20 minutes from Concord - to the northeast.  I have to agree with Britt...there is so much to do in this area.  We love it and are avid hikers, runners, and occasionally out on our bikes and outdoorsy people.  A drive to Plymouth will be up 93...about 30-45 minutes I believe.  The school is very much like the other state schools.  If you need help navigating the area, let me know! 
  • Welcome to NH - Live free or die!

     

    LOL - ours is my favorite state motto, so I thought it would be a good welcome saying too!

  • Welcome!! I'm originally from MA...I'm glad you made your move well...congrats on TTC - this is a pretty fertile board...when it rains it pours around here when people start getting PG...
  • Welcome to NH!  I'm not too far from Concord let me know if you need anything.  I'm soo not a runner, but I'm up for anything else.
  • Welcome!! You will enjoy it here on this board.,
  • welcome to NH emily!!  i know it's been a long time coming for you - i'm glad you're here and settled finally!  we found that although we did love NYC and miss aspects about it (8 different options for a $3 california roll at 2am within a 10 minute walk, anyone??) we are so much happier here with our garage and grass and no gangs or pee puddles or hot subways or no parking or pollution you can actually taste  (and the list goes on...)   :)

    you will find ways to love your new home and you will be very homesick about other aspects (central park will likely be a big one for you...  it holds a special place in my heart too!) but i hope you grow to love NH more and more as the months and years go by :)

    good luck with your TTC plans!  keep us posted!

  • Welcome to NH!!  I am a transplant from Iowa...though it's not as ig a change as NYC to NH!!  I live about 30-40 min from Concord (depending on wjhere you live)

  • welcome to the board!!  I don't live in NH anymore, but welcome anyways!!  I used to make a similar commute in the opposite direction, from Ashland (near Plymouth) to Belmont and or Canterbury (near Concord).  The commute is not SO bad, and they keep the highway pretty clear from snow in winter.  What kind of job are you looking into at PSU?  Congrats on the house and the garage, and good luck with TTC!!!

  • Hi there! I'm actually in the Concord area. We are moving soon also and I will be in Pembroke (right next to Concord.)

    It's so good to have another person on the board. Welcome! 

  • Welcome! I live in Concord too (in the Heights--over by the mall!). I have a 5 month old and we have a puppy. You will love Concord--it is a great area!
  • Welcome to NH!

    What kind of job are you looking into at Plymouth?  My DH works for the University System, so I can have him keep his eyes & ears open.

  • Congrats and welcome to NH! I am in Southern NH so I don't live near you.
