Intro
Hi, ladies. My name is Jacki. I'm a newlywed, and new to The Nest. This is my first venture outside of my anniversary board.
This is love -- love at first sight.
A sports forum. For women who love sports.
I am home.
Looking forward to getting to know you girls,

Re: Intro
Yeah...it's slow. Sigh. But we do get some great debates going every now and then.
Welcome!
Mostly MLB. But also NFL, NHL, some college football (my husband's a big Big 10 fan, Go Blue!)
But mostly baseball. Before the saving-for-the-wedding days, I was a partial season ticket holder with the Chicago White Sox. My husband is a north-sider. (Funny. I used to say I would never even DATE a Cub fan. And here, I've married one.)
Speaking of which, my shortstop got ROBBED today. Someone call the police, Jeter stole Alexi's gold glove.

welcome!
I'm a U of M fan, Go Blue!
We're in Detroit, but DH is from Alsip. FIL loves Hog Wild in Midlothian!
Even though DH grew up on the south side, he's been a Cubs fan all his life, don't ask me why. If he grew up a Sox fan like many southsiders, he'd already have celebrated a World Series Championship, LOL.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
I WORKED at Hog Wild (briefly) in high school. No. Joke.
Being from Alsip, did he go to Shepard?

nope, no joke! I've been there a few times, I can't complain on the portion sizes, holy cow! we've gotten FIL gift certificates from there for Christmas since he loves it so much......small world.....
DH went to Chicago Christian
MY DH WENT TO CHICAGO CHRISTIAN, TOO!! Holy cow... what year did he graduate? Do you have a really long Dutch last name?! lol

DH will be 42 on Thanksgiving, so we're a bit older (though I'm still in my 30's, ha ha). He graduated in 86 I believe. Our last name is Dreyer, so not long, & DH's mom's maiden name is Ensing. Wow, really, what a small world.
DH is only 33 (I'm still in my 20's... but not for long. haha.) If your DH came from a big family, he may know some younger brother/sister/cousins. I'll ask him if the name rings a bell later tonight, if I remember.
Small world indeed.
He had a lot of cousins attend there as well, but I think the oldest of those is about 35, maybe 36. Our last name is Krestel.

DH said he knew some Ensings. Kari, maybe, he says?
