Resturant Suggestions

justinandcrystal — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:36:00 GMT

My husband was asking where I wanted to go for Valentines Day. What are your suggestions for nice resturants? Pretty much open to all food and anywhere in the DFW area.

Anyone from Abilene?

bridesrighthand — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:11:45 GMT

My DH is in the AF and we just found out we're moving to Abilene, from Germany. I'm from Texas, but not that area, so I know VERY little about it. Can anyone help me out with the best areas to live, schools, etc? Thanks a ton!!

Finally!!

marykaybride — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:49:43 GMT

My husband was finally offered a job today after 6 months of being out of work! As a newly pg woman, I'm sure you can imagine how much weight is lifted off of me by this news. Now I feel more confident in telling my principal about my pregnancy this afternoon.

For those of you still going through a job loss situation in your home, keep hanging in there. It is the hardest thing we've ever been through and just about the time we started to think there was nothing left, something happened to help us get through. You will get through too. I hope your family finds the security it needs soon.

Thanksgiving Dining Out!!!

Vivym — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:28:25 GMT

I am new to the area. We just moved to Frisco 4 months ago. I need suggestions for Thanksgiving. Anywhere from downtown to North Dallas.

It's only my husband, my brother in law and me. So we decided to go out, instead of me cooking all day for only 3 people.

Something under $35 pp

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Unique baby gifts?

Susan&Courtney — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:56:01 GMT

A good friend of mine just had her baby this week. I gave her a useful present off of her registry months ago and would take food or something if I were there but she lives in my hometown. So, I'd like to get her something fun/personalized/unique. She had a little boy and his room is decorated in teal/blue/brown. Any ideas? TIA!

Garland, TX

melandjames — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:02:09 GMT

My husband just applied for a job in Garland. Can anyone tell me about the area? We have a 4 year old and an infant, is it family friendly? How are the schools?

Thanks.

Indoor locations for photos in Frisco?

MsMolly96 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:24:37 GMT

Hi, ladies.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

We're scheduled to have our Christmas photos taken next wkend, but I'm concerned about the weather. We have an outdoor location picked out, but I wanted to be on the safe side and have an indoor one, too. We live in Frisco and would like to stay around here.

(We live in an apt and are currently packing to move in a few weeks so doing it at the house won't work.)

Thanks!

Souvenir Help (and AW)

Chair — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:41:55 GMT

DH & I leave in 24 hours for Amsterdam and Abu Dhabi. YAY!

I need help for small souvenir ideas for my youth group girls (I lead a weekly Bible study for Jr. High and High School girls). The girly girls I can relate to. But then about 1/2 are them are grunge, emo, etc (don't even know the proper term). They don't wear jewelry, dress very casually, etc. What in the world do I bring back for them?

Gift ideas for unique gift

I'm going on a trip to visit some relatives in Australia and I wanted to get my cousins some Texas-y souvenirs. I'm thinking cute t-shirts or mugs. Does anyone know where I can get some for a pretty good price? TIA!

Travel Agent Recs - Europe Trip

lovlea4 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:03:32 GMT

Does anyone know any good travel agents in the DFW area? My husband and I are planning a trip to Italy and France (I can't wait!!!) and I have done a lot of research online and know about the online websites that can book multiple destination trips but I wanted to compare prices with a local travel agent. Any recommendations or advice?

Thanks!

xp from the bump: need help with surprise for parents

RobynLee — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:58:33 GMT

Hi all!

I just found out on the 10th that I'm pregnant! We are totally excited but not really telling anyone until after our first prenatal appointment on December 1. I think we could keep it a secret until Christmas from both our families. I need help coming up with a cute "present" to tell everyone.

Here's what you need to know:

1. This is my parent's FIRST grandbaby.

2. The day we found out was my Dad's birthday.

3. This is my MIL's 4th grandbaby but first one from her sons (my SIL has 2 kids and a stepchild)

4. We usually celebrate Christmas brunch at my parents and then Christmas dinner at his mothers. All family will be present at both locations.

5. I want it to be cute but practical.

6. We already "drew names" for my side of the family (because we are all adults) and neither of us have my parents. I don't think that matters because I love giving gifts, but I thought I'd throw it out there!

Thanks everyone! I'm totally excited to do this for our families!

Moving to Southern OK--anyone live north of Dallas?

RevBride — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:29:15 GMT

Hi--my husband, son, and I are moving to Durant, OK in January from Massachusetts. Before everyone freaks out, I grew up in rural Alaska so I'm used to rural life (though not the heat!) We did fly out and visit a bit in August, so I know there's not much there, but it seems like it may be growing a bit.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself (I've been lurking a bit since we decided to move) and see if anyone lived up near Sherman/Denison or around there, and what are some recommendations for places to see/things to do, etc. Thanks!

Catering Help

Junebug7700 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:43:41 GMT

Hi everyone. I am new around here and am in desperate need for some catering recommendations.

I am looking for a desserts/sweets caterer in the DFW area that can do a party for 250-300. They must also have staff to do the service at the party.

I can't seem to find anyone that can make the desserts and the serve during the party.

Can anyone help? TIA!

Jess&col, panarama, and others...

micaelasmakeup — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:09:45 GMT

Hi! It's me Micaela! I haven't been on in forever and i'm hanging out over on the Atlanta Bump board and thought I'd drop in over here and see if there was anybody I knew. how's everything? How's married life?

Thanks, JoeandKristie!
