New to Nest

Hi all, I am newish to The Nest. I started reading/replying to posts and realized I should probably introduce myself. I used The Knot quite a bit although I didn't post as much as I should have. I am changing that this time! :)

My husband and I were married on April 2 in DC during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Yes, that was the day there was sleet, rain and sun. The timing was perfect when we were doing pictures and there was no one around the Title Bason when we get there!

We live in Burke but I commute into DC (GWU) everyday. I realized recently how lonely I am here and am looking for friends. Yikes, that sounds pitaful... I am up for walking groups, girls nights, someone to commute with and of coarse posting as much as I can. I am excited to get to know all of you!

 

Re: New to Nest

  • Congrats and welcome! :) This is a great board. I'm not really in your area but I know others are, so hopefully you'll be able to connect with them.

  • Welcome :) I'm new to the area too. I'm still working on the "getting connected" thing, so good luck :) Meetup.com was a good website for me. 
  • Hello!  I am in Alexandria (Old Town), but glad you've joined us!

    What do you like to do in your time off?

  • Hey!  I LOVE crafting!  I am a new blogger to a personal and craft blog so that has taken up quite a bit of time. There is so much to learn! I am a MaryKay consultant but haven't really branched out yet. I am also on the Agricultural Review Board for Burke. I am getting ready for my husband to deploy for a few months and have been spending as much time with him as possible.

    What about you?

  • Welcome!

    I was married the same time of year (cherry blossom festival) 5 years ago. It also rained that day!

    same here, rain on your wedding day is good luck, b/c a "wet knot is harder to untie"

    welcome! 

  • Congrats and welcome!  We looked at a couple of houses in Burke, but ended up in MD for commuting reasons.  Loved the area!  Lots of great VA ladies out your way!
  • Welcome and congrats! I'm sure your wedding photos are lovely with all of the cherry blossoms (and no people)!

    I hope that's true because it rained on my wedding day too!

     OP, I'm new to blogging and adore crafting as well. My blog covers my dieting journey and some of my favorite recipes, or it's going to anyway. Ha I also plan to start documenting my craft projects and all my renovations. 

     Post a link to your blog in your siggy so we can check it out!

    Okay so I am learning so much today! Just figured out how to add my links with text and not a picture, how to reply to a post someone made and, I learned what OP meant... Yeah, I am really new if you couldn't tell! 

    sofka, I love that statement! Never thought about it that way :) We thought it was hilarious and totally believe it's good luck! I am putting together a book for my hubby when he deploys and I may find a wet knot picture to include! Hope you don't mind me borrowing that quote.

    kmartini1021, I LOVE your blog. If you ever start allowing followers I am so there! I added my craft blog link and our life one. I participate in a Pinterest Challenge that helps me keep with the Pinterest ideas I collect. You should join! Anyone should for that matter!!!
