Hi, I'm new!

Hi guys!

I've been lurking for a little bit and thought maybe I'd jump on and say hey.  It's exciting to see that there really are people in Maine in their 20s and 30s...I'm not from here (DH grew up in Cumberland.) and feel like it's really hard to find people to make friends with.

That's all!

Re: Hi, I'm new!

  • Hello! :)

     

    I am Melissa, I am pretty new too :) Seems like a great group on here, with lots of great advice! (Actually I am excited to become pregnant/have a baby so I can get even more great advice haha)

  • Welcome! This is definitely a great group!!! They have seen me through a lot since I got married in '07. I live in Southern Maine and am right with you that it is hard to make new friends.

    So welcome :)

  • Welcome!!!  I grew up in Cumberland too - I bet I know your husband!  If you feel comfortable posting or PMing his name I'd love to know who he is  :o).  I'm Kristen and have been married since 2006.  We have a little boy turning 2 this weekend, and a baby girl on the way in early March (as well as a 4 year old mini schnauzer Sadie).  We live in northeastern MA and used to plan on moving to ME, but the job economy has us thinking we'll be in the northern MA/southern NH area.

  • Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!

    I'm originally from Pennsylvania.  We live in New Gloucester right now, but are hoping to move in the next several months.  No kids yet, just a goofy mutt named Henry.

    Kristen, his first name is Josh...he graduated in 2001.  He did a lot with theater while he was at Greely...he was also class president for a couple of his years there.

  • Hmmm Josh.  I'm sure I would know him but I was in the class of 1998 and didn't know a ton of the kids younger than 1999.  Man I feel old!!!

    I'm Megan too, and I also have a dog named Henry, LOL!  We're in Brunswick and have an almost 18-monther, Marcus.  Welcome to the board, it's a great place to connect and we do a lot of GTG's.

  • Oh my gosh, Kristy, I just saw that you got married at Pineland!  I live about a mile from there - I probably drove right past your wedding and admired it!  They seem to do a really nice job with the set up. :)
  • Welcome!  I'm Jen, got married in Maine and live in Arlington, VA.  A big part of me would love to live in Maine but my career and MH's makes it necessary for us to stay in the DC area right now. 

  • Welcome!!  I grew up in the County and went to college in Southern Maine.  I live in TN now but I still consider myself a Mainer. 

    We have 2 goofy cats and are expecting our first baby in June!

  • Welcome to the Maine board! DH and I both grew up in the mid-coast and were married in 2008 in Boothbay Harbor where we first met. We now live in Newport, RI with our cat, but will be moving back to Maine for the summer and the birth of our first child before heading down to Louisiana for his next assignment.

  • Hi!  I'm Jess and I live in Cape with MH and 14 month old.  We just moved back to Maine (from Vermont) at the beginning of the summer.  We're excited to be back home and in our new home!  I'm currently looking for a job to put the icing on the cake!  I actually participated in several of the New Gloucester farmer markets this summer as a vendor.  Did you ever get the chance to go?

     

    Welcome to the board - everyone here is awesome!

  • Welcome! I'm and and I'm fairly new around here, too. My husband and I moved to Maine last March and I started visiting this board last summer when I found out I was pregnant.  Our little girl is a month old now.  I know what you mean about it being hard to find people in the same stage of life in Maine. I work from home which makes it even more of a challenge. The people I've met through my church are great, but all much older.  This board is great, though and there are occasional get-togethers.  I haven't made it to one yet, but hopefully soon.

  • Hi!  I'm Kimberly in Sanford.  DH and I will be celebrating our fifth anniversary this July and our DD Helen will be three in May.  We also have a naughty cat named Henry (it seems to be a popular pet name).

    I grew up in Northern VA/Washington DC area and moved to Maine in 2002.  You are right that it is hard to meet people once you're out of college.  I met my DH on a blind date!

    My DH is a native Mainer; he grew up in Pownal.  Your DH probably knows my SIL.  If I'm remembering correctly, I think she graduated from Greely in 2001.  Small world!  If you want to PM me, I'll tell you her name.

  • Jess - we did hit the New Gloucester market this summer, usually at the tail end on the way back from camp.  Now I'll have someone to keep an eye out for!

    Kimberly - I'm definitely PMing you...I'm constantly surprised at how small-world Maine is!
