Introduction to PHX board

Hi all! I've never posted on the local board so I thought I'd say hi. DH and I moved here from Cincinnati, OH in March. I love it here! DH will finish a graduate program in March and I'm in the process of changing jobs. We look forward to making roots here. 

Any advice from transplants how to deal with being alone here? All our family and friends are in OH. We are having a hard time making friends. 

Re: Introduction to PHX board

  • HI, and welcome.  There are a good group of girls here and occasional gtg's, but hopefully through both of your jobs you will find some fun people.  Do you go to a church?  Looking to join any sports (many are starting up about now so go online to sign up even if as a free agent)?

    Anyway, hope your job transition goes well and you have fun soon.

  • Hello and Welcome! We do have gtg's and we have one coming up too in Feb. I've met a bunch of awesome girls on here, I am sure they will come out here soon.

  • Welcome to the area!

    I moved down here from just outside Columbus about a year before you.  =)

    I wish I had any good advice for you, but I've not been that successful at making friends in the area yet.  There are a ton of things in the area that you and your DH can do together, or that you can do by yourself that are fun though!

    My FI travels a lot for work, so I spend a lot of time here alone, going to the zoo or botanical gardens, or movies. 

    What area are you guys in?  

  • Hi! We're moving to somewhere in the Phoenix area in February. Coming next weekend to find housing.

  • Hi & welcome!

    DH & I moved here about a year & a half ago.  It is hard being away from all your family & friends, I know all about that!  We've made friends together mostly through both of our jobs.  We've become pretty close friends with a couple of my coworkers & their husbands, as well as some of DH's coworkers & spouses.  As for girlfriends, we really have a great group of ladies on this board.  I've become close with several of them. 

    Stick around, post as often as you can & go to get togethers when they happen, and you're bound to make friends here! 

  • Welcome!  I have been here for a couple of years now and think it is hard to make friends here, I have friends from work and from my fiance's work....So I am with you, hopefully there will be some great people at your new job!  I am newer to this board so I am interested to see what they do for gtg's.  Hang in there!

  • Welcome, glad you decided to say hi.  I've only been here since Aug & all of my fam/friends are in PA.  Like PPs have said though, there's really a great group of girls here to become friends with.  I've met quite a few, but still would love to meet more.  Keep your eye out for an upcoming gtg & join us.         :)

  • Welcome!  Congrats on the job transition and soon to be completed grad program to you guys.  I don't have much in the way of advice as most of DH and my friends are friends I had when I was going to school here and from work.  I am hoping to make it to a gtg one of these days, but the gals here on the board are really nice.  What part of the valley do you live in?

  • Welcome!  I'm a transplant as well but my husband has lived here for a while so most of his friends became my friends.  I don't really have any of my own friends.  The girls on this board are great though so you should try and make it to a g2g!
  • Welcome to the board! =)

  • Wow, thank you everyone for the warm welcome and advice! We currently live in central phx near 16th street and Northern, but our lease is up in March, so we will be looking for a house to rent then. We'd like to move closer to Scottsdale since that's where I work and DH works. 

    I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the gtg info. Looking forward to it!
