Chattanooga sending Hellos!
After stopping by this board off and on, I am finally taking the time to say hello! My name is Kassie, and I live in the Chattanooga area. My husband and I have lived here for 5 1/2 years. I am orginially from Maryville, TN & he is from Cleveland, TN. Met in college & ended up here. I didn't see hardly any (or none at all) nesties from this area. But, if you are out there it would be great to meet some new people around the area! We have come to the conclusion that we live a boring life! LOL
A little bit about me - I'm 27 and currently working on my Master's in Counseling at UT-Chattanooga. We enjoy hanging out on the lake and are huge UT fans. Currently we do not have any kids just a sweet puppy. Well, now that I have pimped us out 
...hope everyone has a great weekend!
Re: Chattanooga sending Hellos!
So, I'm not sure that I've ever wandered into the local board before, but I couldn't sleep and decided to tonight, and I've got to tell you I'm nearly shocked to see someone so close to me!. I am also in the Chatt area, McDonald actually, so right between you and Cleveland. Living in McDonald equates to living in Cleveland, so I usually just claim that because hardly anyone has a clue that McDonald exists!
Where did your DH go to school? DH and I have both been here our whole lives so it's possible we may recognize him.
We both also went to UTC, (we were high school sweethearts) and got our undergrad's in 12/2007, and I finished my Masters in Accountancy last June.
Long post short, I live near you and went to school where you do, so HI!
ETA: I just noticed you originally posted 2 days ago, so apparently this board is not very active
. I'm usually over at the D&R board, which is usually pretty active, so feel free to stop in over there sometime.
Well hello McDonald! Yes, I know exactly where that is. We actually live in Ooltewah and drive through there going to Cleveland sometimes. DH graduated from Cleveland in 1998 - last name is Varnell. (Yes, like Varnell Nursery LOL).
Yes, this board is not very active at all. It's great to know someone lives near me though LOL! It seems to be a more Nashville dominated board.
Do you and your DH hang out in Chattanooga much?
My husband and I moved to Chatt not long ago. I'm starting at UTC on Monday! I can't wait! I've never been on the local board (well, actually I just discovered the local boards now, haha) but it's awesome to see Chattanooga people!
So, I have to ask, what is there to really do in Chatt? We can't find much of anything except that $3 movie theater, which is nice.
What to do in Chattanooga... Well, I guess that depends on what you are up for! H & I really like to go downtown and discover things. Like right now they are doing Riverfront Nights at Ross's Landing. It's just a fun music fest (very lowkey). It just started last weekend. Aug 28th is the Brewer's Festival. It is still fun even if you don't drink. Rhythm & Brew's - they have up up & coming artists & cover bands. Chattanooga Market is every Sunday at the First TN Pavalion. Lots of different kinds of restaraunts to try that are fun & good
UTC football games are coming up - if you guys like football. Do you guys get the Newspaper? On Friday's they have a "Weekend" section with what's going on - really good. Oh, the Comedy Catch in Brainerd is really good. Trust me, it took us a couple years to figure out what was out there! 
What will you be studying at UTC?
Yes, the market is for only local made or home-grown stuff. They have a different theme each week.

DH and I don't do much in Chattanooga. I have to go downtown for work every day, so by the weekend I'd rather stay a little closer to home. DH also usually has to work on the weekends so that pretty much stops it right there.
I definitely know Varnell Nursery, but DH and I went to Bradley, so no luck there.
He's also a little farther ahead of us than I thought. We are 25 and 26, but we graduated in 2003. Since he went to Cleveland, I'm guessing he went to a city school for elementary? I have family that live in the same area as the Nursery so they're pretty familiar with the kids that went to Prospect.

Hello All!
My husband and I moved to Chattanooga about 7 months ago (Ooltewah specifically). We really do love it here! Moved from dreary Michigan! The weather is beautiful and we embrace the HOT summer weather. We have met a few couples in the area but we are always looking to meet new people. We have beem married alomst 2 years (well 2 years on Monday!!). We are a very easy going social couple! We like to go out to local restaurants/pubs as well as have bonfires at our house.
It would be great to meet some new people!
Hope to hear from ya'll!
Ooo! I love the Chattanooga Market!
Hello fellow Chattanooga Nesties!
I moved to Chattanooga a little over a year ago - and so thankful for it! I met my Husband here, and we just got married at the beginning of Nov.
I'm a Student of Biology at UTC, but I'm gong to have to find a full time job this upcoming year.
I could definitely use some awesome girls to have fun with on the occasional weekend.

I'm a nursing student there! I kinda wish I lived on campus so I didn't have to deal with the parking issues!
Hello!
My husband and I moved to Chattanooga a couple of years ago. We met in Atlanta, and were married in May of '09. Chattanooga is my hometown, but after being away for so long I sortof lost touch with people I used to hang out with. I work at UTC at the Graphic and Mail Department. I love working there, and am looking to finish my degree in Social Work (Non-Profit Administration) and from there, who knows? We live in Hixson, bought our house in April, and are searching for couples to hang out with.
I hope you and your husband are enjoying Chattanooga. I have always loved it here, and now its even better with all of the renovations and changes.

Wow - it's so exciting to actually see Chattanooga nesties on here! I live in Ringgold, but we spend almost all our time in Chattanooga - that's where MH and I both work, go to church, it's where our friends live, etc. For those of you who have dogs, have you checked out the dogparks in the area? We spend at least one day every weekend at Greenway in Hixson with our dog park friends.
We really ought to organize a local GTG and meet up. Anyone interested?
I live in Cleveland.. you girls should PM me and we can hang out. I have no mom or married friends!!
I hang out on 3-6... let me know!

Hi All,
A little delayed on the bandwagon, but I'm Madison - my husband and I have been in the CHA area since 2008, and live in E. Brainerd. We just had our first baby girl in December! I work in the Dean of Students Office @ UTC and my husband is at TVA.
Enjoy the weekend!
