I'm worried about not knowing anyone when I get to Ft. Lewis.I'll be up there sometime in October.

SO..
I want to be your friend :)!

& for all you mommies, I'm more than willing to offer my babysitting services to you! I (L) kids and it'll be awhile till I have my own, so babysitting is the next best thing for me!

I'm here. :)

Hello, i'm on my way up there at the end of month. I know couple mommas including me, that will be getting ahold of you. but when your out there we get the boys to sit, we go out for dinner! k

I'm an hour or so north of Ft. Lewis!

I need friends here too!!! DB just left today for a year so I need all the friends I can get. I'm 23. I work days and live in Lakewood. I will be starting school at night in sept, I want to get a puppy and I am trying to fix up our house.
That's pretty much my life.
If anyone wants to get coffee, lunch, see a movie, just talk, whatever, please PM or IM me. I don't know anyone here but DBs family and they get old real quick.

I live in Lynnwood

Hi I'm not really new to the area but i just moved back cause dh will be on his way back from the sand box very soon. I don't really do much aside from chase dd around all day oh and trying to make sure everything is ready for homecoming. feel free to pm me

I'm up North in Seattle, but I get down there to go shopping at the base periodically. We could always meet up for coffee down there or up in Seattle!

I live in Lynnwood

Wanna go to the mall some day? I used to live in Shoreline and I haven't had a good excuse to get back up to Alderwood these last few months.

I work at a dentist on the west side of olympia. It's a long drive though so I'm trying to get a job closer to home.
What do you do?

Can't wait until you get here sweetie!

I'm here! But I might be gone for a few months after you get here. But I'll be around after that.

Awww, you're all so lucky! I want to be at Fort Lewis!! I love the northwest. We'll be in Kansas later this year/early next year. Kansas will be alright, but it's no Colorado and it's no northwest!! :)

Nothing right now. :lol Jobwise that is. Stay-at-home wifey. :D

I'm in WA; not at Ft. Lewis yet (probably when DB gets back). But I try to make it over that way every once in a while

I'm in Seattle but I'll be your friend!:D

I'm near Ft Lewis.

We are leaving for Fort Lewis on September 5th. I done know anyone out there either, we can definetley be friends!

I am here, we live in Yelm. I've been here almost a year and still don't know anybody besides my neighbors.

We should all have a coffee date or something.

We should all have a coffee date or something.

Good idea!!! I'm down for it!

O wow, I didn't realize how many of us were there! I'm so excited now :)!

We have to plan a get together!

I live on post and I'm always available. Just lemme know! My only issue is that I can't really drive very far. Sitting in the car is uncomfortable for me right now. :(

Maybe we could pick somewhere around Ft. Lewis so it shouldn't be too for most ppl. Like there's a Panera Bread in Lakewood, they have great food and patio seating if it's nice out. Not trying to pick something next to me, it's close to the base too, ;) A weekend would be best for me, I work til about 4pm most days.

Anybody else have a good idea?

I have some friends headed up to Ft. Lewis soon probably. I wish I could keep them here though :(

Panera sounds good!

:bump for possible coffee date! I was just down in Ft. Lewis Saturday picking up groceries after hitting the water park!! :D

The more the merrier!

How is noon for everyone??

I can do noon.... I'll check back later to see what you guys decide

Noon sounds great to me!!! I'm so excited!! Yay something to look forward to! Finally! :)

Oh, once we decide who all is going we should like post pics of ourselves so we recognize each other. :)

Sorry, I'm out of this one if we're looking at the 12th. I have to drive up East/North the 11th/12th to go help my dad out with a surgery. I probably won't be back until school starts up again (around Sept. 24th).

If anybody wants to get together before the 12th or sometime in October, let me know. But I'll be a bit more busy come October with school and whatnot.

I live on post so I have no suggestions for an apartment, Lacey is a nice area, but I don't know how expensive things are out there.
You should come to our next get together.
