I started on TN in 2004 while wedding planning, and while I stayed primarily on my local board I occasionally dipped my toe in the waters of the national boards after the wedding.
In 2008 we separated and divorced and this past summer while I was looking for a condo I jumped back on TN and was directed over here and am so thankful I found this group of ladies. So, I'm single, working on myself, building my career, loving my new home, and trying to figure out how to date after soo many years when all my friends are married and have kids. 😊
ETA: I'm losing it. I started on TK in 2004 and transitioned to TN in 2005. That makes much more sense
I joined in 2008 and was hkaszuba for a couple years then switched to this screen name in 2010. I've been a sporadic poster over the past 4 years.
DH and I got married in 2008, started TTC in 2010, and got pregnant via IVF this summer after 26 months trying. We're expecting a baby boy in late February.
Back in 2008 we were living in a condo, sold it in 2010 and started builidng a house. Closed in early 2011. We're purchasing a short sale next week, that will be an income property - so will be working on getting that ready for renter's in the short term.
I joined TN in 2007 and stopped lurking on D&R in 2009, but have slacked on posting here. Same screen name. I mostly lurk. I have a three year old and just had little girl #2 in October. We bought the house we are in now in 2009 and have touched pretty much every surface, but mainly cosmetic updates. Our house is a bungalow built in 1914.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tell what year you joined TN D&R board, your past SN (if applicable) and what you've been up to (married, kids, house, you know....). It'll give everyone a chance to kind of catch up. Sound ok?
- i transitioned from theknot to thenest in late 2005 (so, per other nesties, i'm old). - same SN. - i'm still married, have 2.5 yo boy and another baby due 6/2013, will find out gender after the 1st of the year. i have been dabbling in D&R as i could get it squeezed in between chasing my toddler energy ball, working (travel w/work) and wife-dom. nothing on the horizon other than tweaking our items for the nursery as needed (most will take place in 2013).
I've been married to DH since 2009 - it's just us and a two year old pug right now. We closed on our house the day before we got married, and are VERY slowly but surely making it ours. I'm pretty much in lurker mode on the board, since we're not activity D&R'ing anything and I don't have anything to contribute. Plus, some of you have such amazing homes I'm a little intimidated.

I'm ericanandy. Was always ericanandy. Got married in 2006, so I'm sure I was on TN when they pushed me over on 12*24*06 lol .
I began frequenting TNDNR board probably March of 07 first lurking, then becoming a regular shortly after PAGAS/KEW drama. I used to teach elementary school but now I SAHM with my two lovely sons who keep me running all day long. Boy 2 (14 mos) doesn't stop moving ever. I'm super glad I didn't have him first lol.
Joined TK in 2007, got married in 2008 and switched over to TN. I mostly posted on my local board until last winter when I started lurking with a rare post on D&R and MM.
On TN, I was sjb&apa.
I just moved from Minnesota to Ohio. I sold a beautiful 4200 SF house and am currently living in a kind of crappy 1500 SF rental in my new city. It sucks. I can't wait to find an awesome house to buy here!

Hi! I was mostly active on my local nest board and spent some time on the real estate board when we were buying/selling. I am mostly a lurker around here, we are on our second house and it is a 1960 mid century modern style multi level which had grown old with its last owner, who was a nice woman with terrible taste in decor. I am looking to help retain the house's character while making updates to it. I have a daughter, husband and a couple dogs. I like making things. So knitting, sewing and cooking are some of my favorite things to do.
I hope to muster the courage to sew some slip covers for my couches in the gameroom and gear up to restore my awning windows through the summer.
I have lurked on D&R since we bought our 2nd house in August 2010. It was a foreclosure, in nice condition, but very bland. DH still says it is too brown even though we have repainted almost every room.
We seem to make changes during the worst time of year, tiled kitchen backsplash the week before DS birthday party and are going to be starting a mini remodel of the master bath which will probably end... the week before DS birthday party.
