Oops, I didn't intro :(

[HoneySpider]

So I jumped into the weekly check in post last week and some others since and never actually gave a proper introduction. I've been on and off GP here and on TN for more than a year so I guess I feel as if I've done this before

Anyway, MH & I both just turned 31 and we have been TTC our first since January. We live in south Texas but neither are native here (I'm from NJ, he's from Chicago) and are hoping to move sometime in the near future if jobs want to cooperate

I work in higher education and am currently finishing my doctorate in educational leadership. I love sports, 90s alternative music, beer, and kitty cats. We have 2 cats, Smokey and Plinko.

Um...feel free to ask anything. Otherwise, hi!

[thoseareradishes]

Hi! We have two cats too, they are a riot. They bring us a lot of laughs

[noodleskooze]

I'm in Houston too, Nama!

[winecheery]

What kind of beer do you like best?? And yay for two kitties; me too

[nk]

Hi! Where in Jersey are from? I grew up in South Jerz....

[potatopie]

Hiya!

I'm from Wisconsin/Chicago and working on a Masters in Education down here on the other side of the world.

Hey guys!

I'm in Corpus Christi so couple hours south of Houston.

I grew up in central Jersey, specifically Howell (but my parents have lived in Freehold for 11 years so that is home for me now)

Fave beers are anything pumpkin, Blue Moon, and Yuengling, which I can't get down here :-(

omg that makes me laugh...I thought that was just a Yinzer thing?! (DH is from west PA) haha

If you like Blue Moon have you tried Hoegaarden?

[HoneySpider]

Well I went to school in Pittsburgh and that's where I learned to drink Yuengling But they have it in NJ too. And a lot of other places now, just hasn't made it's way this far south yet.

Yes, I enjoy Hoegaarden too! I'm a wheat beer kind of girl first and foremost.

[FastHands]

I was recently on vacation out west and was SO SAD when I couldn't get a Yuengling. I don't drink that often normally, but I so desperately wanted a Yuengling and there was none to be had.

And yes, this is my first totally-random post on GBCN/GP. lol

That's one of our favs too. Hands down.

Then perhaps you should try Tripel Karmeliet...if you haven't. One of my FAVS. So goooood. I'm a wino, as my name uggests, but oh man I adore good Belgian beer, or local brews.

DH did his undergrad in Pittsburgh before he moved out here. And of course having grown up out there, Yuengling is a fond memory of his debaucherous youth.

[HoneySpider]

Ooh I haven't heard of that one but I'll have to look for it!

[winecheery]

Oooooh lady you will love. It's not quite as wheaty/yeasty tasting as the ^^, but it's delish. It is traditionally served in a giant goblet with a fleur de lys, very refined lol

Hi!

[thatgirl2478]

Every time I see your pic (avatar?) I think you're a girl I went to high school with. I'm pretty sure you're not though.

Haha well did you go to HS in central Jersey?

[Deleted]

Psssh wayy too many Houstonites/south Texans. San Antonio area ftw!

[HoneySpider]

Man I'm even farther south, I'm in Corpus Christi. No one on here is from CC. I wish I was closer to SA or Houston!

[Deleted]

CC is only like 2 hours away! H and I need to take a trip down there eventually. We usually go a few times a year. We need a vaycayyy haha.

[countthestars]

Nope - Central IL.

Which is kind of good - I get a little squiggy thinking that anyone I know IRL would know me here...
