Another newbie

Hey ladies!  New June 09 bride here.

I'm Kristina.  I'm from a suburb of Los Angeles and I teach middle school.  My husband is Christian, a native of Cleveland.  We met in grad school at Columbia University and I convinced him that LA was a much better place to live.  We got married on June 27.  I spent a lot of time on the LA board during the planning stages, but on TN it's a lot of baby talk and we've got a long way to go before jumping on that bandwagon.

I'm a big fan of wit, cooking, baking, chocolate and alcohol of most varieties.

Re: Another newbie

  • Hey!  We're date twins and I also live in a suburb/sort of of Los Angeles (isn't it all suburbs, when you get down to it? Except for those lofts downtown...).   I thought that board was totally dead.  This one is full of cool people though, so welcome!  I'm in Valley Glen.  Where are you? 
  • Welcome to J9! 

    I'm in shock we've had three newbies in the span of a week. So many girls fled after June and especially after we got booted to the Nest that it's kind of amazing we're picking up newbies.

  • Hello and welcome! I am also a date twin. I hope you enjoy this board the ladies are all awesome and helpful.
  • From one J9 newb to another, welcome! We can be friends because you like alcohol more than babies, but we'll have to agree to disagree about NYC v. LA... Deal?
    From Oy Vey to Ole!

  • I'm glad we can bond over alcohol vs. babies, however we don't have to agree to disagree about NYC v. LA.  I love, love, love, LOVE NYC.  I lived there for grad school and would move back in a heartbeat if it weren't for the fact that my husband and I both have steady jobs here as well as my family.  I was merely saying that LA is better than Cleveland.  I like LA and all but NYC takes the cake any day.  I think we'll get along just fine Choo :)

  • Sorry, the above message was supposed to be a quote to Choo's response.. I'm showing my newbie status apparently.

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!  And Lark, I'm in the Northridge area, so not too far from you!

    Perfect. So we agree that: NYC > LA > Cleveland and alcohol > babies. Now to my most important question. How do you feel about shoes?

    Is that really even a question?

    Sadly, I have wide feet and a limited budget so I don't tend to buy many fancy shoes (though I do admire them and wish my feet would fit in them) but I certainly do have lots of shoes.  DH can't quite figure out why I have/need so many, but luckily he's just stopped asking.

  • That's awesome!  I have also recently found out about another SoCal J09er, Penaltyshot who's in Woodland Hills, I believe.  Add that to SBS and Chrissy who are in San Diego and we can have a total late night party going on.  Pacific time explains it all!
  • You're alright in my book, fellow newb.

  • Love the influx of fab new girls. Hi, welcome and Happy Thanksgiving!!
  • Welcome! I'm Megan, I'm in upstate NY, married on June 26th.

    i think you'll like it here... baby talk is kept to the minimum, and lots of us are into cooking and baking ? we even started a J9 cooking blog, though I don't think it's been updated in a while...

  • Welcome to J9! I'll be the lone ranger on the board that prefers L.A. to N.Y. I love both cities and have lived in both, (I used to live in Calabasas, right near Woodland Hills in CA and in Manhattan) but I much prefer having lots of space to being so cramped. If I had my way, we'd move to SoCal and take bi-monthly trips to NYC. I miss big cities...

  • Hi and welcome! I'm Sara Joy, live in Chicago, and work for an investments/trading firm. My DH is an independent filmmaker and we got married June 20. My passion is international travel, along with a healthy dose of shopping, cooking, and working out. I hang out mostly on the MM board, but I do keep up with J09.
  • Welcome to the board! We must be doing something right with all the new additions.
