Newbie-Intro
Hello Ladies,
I usually lurk around the military nest board since my husband is a 2nd LT in the USMC but I just found you all and wanted to introduce myself.
I am 22, I have a bachelors degree in Mathematics Education 5- adult and am currently subbing in my county and working for the Department of Highways. I volutneer with a great non profit organization called The Sanford Center that has turned my old elementary school building into a community center for people of all ages. I am also in my first semester of masters classes at WVU. I love to teach and volunteer, I am active in my church and community. I love to watch football (Go Steelers!) and some basketball, play cards and dance (Zumba in my own living room).
Hi! :-)
Re: Newbie-Intro
We were married August 15, 2010.
Thank you for the welcome. How often do people usually visit this board?
Hello! Welcome to the board! I too am a teacher...Kindergarten. :-)
I would say that most of us visit the board once a day to once a week. We were VERY active on The Knot before our weddings...but not so much on The Nest. Myself included...I tend to lurk now more than post....guess I've gotten a bit lazy now that all the planning is over. ;-)
Welcome again! And if you ever need a sounding board for anything...The August Ladies are the best for advice!
Hi and Welcome! Hope to see you on here often.

Welcome! pp have got it right; we were SUPER busy during our Knot days.
Nesting is more periodic for me, but this is still my favorite board, and the girls are supportive and always honest without being tactless or rude when you seek advice.
I teach musical theater/dance to kids 4-5yrs and 11-18yrs...when I'm not doing it myself that is!
:-)
You'll like us, I swear!
Hi and Welcome!
This is a great board of ladies!
I am also in elementary education (currently laid off) and enjoy volunteering! I started taking Zumba classes a few months ago, and LOVE it. I've discovered plenty of YouTube videos I can follow along with at home, on my computer too. I have been thinking about getting the video game as well.
HOWEVER, I am a JET fan. So, it looks like we have an exciting Sunday ahead of us-lol.
HI and welcome! I am a teacher as well...social sciences, Native studies, special education and technically music, but haven't taught that since Teacher's College 12 years ago! I am in the Secondary panel, so my students range from 14 - 18/19. Teenagers...always interesting to say the least!
This group of ladies is fantastic, and as the PPs have mentioned, we were super busy during the planning process...especially the last month, remember ladies? Seating plans, final numbers, last minute details, stress, anxiety, excitement?!?!?! Seems like so long ago now...or just like yesterday at times...but ultimately this group is super! And I am sure that as we get settled in, our board will pick up more and more.
Check often! And welcome again!!...Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS of your wedding!
