New to Area and Lonely

Hi S.,
I would love to have you come and have a pampering package for free. You will be able to meet the wonderful women in my group. We are always looking for new friends. There are also mom's in my group with little ones and some to-be moms. We would love to pamper you. You will receive a hand treatment, lip treatment, facial, and microdermabrasion treatment. Plus you will receive a gift card!! Let me know. I'd love to meet you.

I'm also new. We just arrived on Saturday! We're army though. We'll be living near fort carson. i don't know anything about the mommy groups etc yet either, but it would be nice to learn of some soon. i'd also like some good recommendations on churches and church preschools b/c I have a 2 1/2 year old as well as a baby due in July.

Best moms group in town and there are plenty of pregnant moms and military spouses, you should be able to find a friend or two and tons of support. We are moving and I will miss this group most of all.

We are also at Peterson. What about going to a pregnancy aerobic class or something like that. I am not sure, but I think, Peterson does offer them. If not I think the local YMCA's do and they offer a discount to military folks. I know it is hard having a baby in a new place with no family around, I had our daughter while stationed overseas and it was really lonely. Also, do you have a church? I know our church has groups. Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi Shelia~ I know it is very hard I have a 19 month old and I am part of hipmama and kampp those are through www.meetups.com and they are both great and the moms club that cost to be a member but it is just for your area so it is also very nice and that is www.momsclub.com.. good luck and I would love to get together ____@____.com so please feel free to shoot me an e-mail. C.

I'm a military wife also and we live up North so I didnt get a chance to meet many other army wives. I found some groups through the hospital(Penrose) when my son was born and also joined my area moms club(momsclub.com)it's split up by areas of town. meetup.com has quite a few choices for moms groups, I am in KAMMP and Hipmamas and they also have some for areas of town and for AP/natural moms,check it out

Welcome to the area! You will love it here. I am an Army Wife near Fort Carson. I won't be back to the area until the end of March (visiting family on the East Coast) but I can assure you that you will find many friends in PWOC. Have you heard of that? I know that Peterson has one, but I'm not sure when it meets. If you want to get involved in the one at Carson, I can tell you all about that one, and I can even get you hooked up with someone there who would sit with you and introduce you to others. Then, when you find out when Peterson's is meeting you can always change to there. But I do know there are Air Force wives at ours...it isn't just for Army Wives. PWOC is always the first place I go to meet people because it is such an easy way to do so. (In case you've never heard of it, it's Protestant Women of the Chapel, and it meets each Tuesday morning. It is basically a couple hours spent with other military wives and we have some praise and worship time, food (of course) and then we break into bible study. there is one set up specifically for those who are new to the area and don't want to come in during the middle of the year to a study that has a lot of homework.)

If you're interested, reply and I'll give you my personal e-mail through a private message! I wish I were in town to meet you!

Welcome to the Springs! I've been here 2 years, and have 4 kids (ages 6,5,3,1). I have a women's organization that I'm part of that I think you would love. We're like sisters, and are constantly adding new people. It's called the Relief Society. We have several different regular things that go on, like the book club, craft group and lunch bunch, as well as other things. You can choose what fits into your schedule and interests. If you'd like, you can come to the craft group tomorrow. There are singles, young marrieds, mommies of all ages, and great-grandmas! This is also where I find the best playdates and playgroups (although my family is practically a play group by itself).
Let me know if you'd be interested! I'd love to introduce you to everyone.

Being a military wife is hard. I am one as well, I have two children ages 5 and 3. I don't know of any groups you can join because I have chose not to do that for good reason. I would however love to talk with you if you would like. My husband is army, but is stationed at Peterson. We live in Fountain Though. If you would like to getin contact, my e-mail address is ____@____.com. I would love to get together with you!

Hi S.,
Welcome to CO! It is a tough town to get connected! Having a hard time myself. PAFB has a family program (i forget the exact name) it offers different things such as home visits, give parents a break program, etc. There use to be a moms walking group...it has been a good source of information for me. If you are interested shoot me an email & I'll get you in touch with someone for it. Also, I am a sahm and am ALWAYS looking for someone to visit with or go to lunch. My email is ____@____.com.

You could look into MOMS Club. I know in our club we have moms who've joined before their child was born and have many moms how are pregnant. We have many military moms too. Our monthly calendar is always full. We also have a stork club which provides some of our members with meals after birth. It's a great support group - our chapter's site is www.momseast.com or you can visit www.momsclub.com to see which area chapter you'd be in.

Sunnyside Christian Church has a Moms & More group that meet on Tuesday mornings for about 2 hours. It's a women's bible study and we integrate that into our roles as wives, moms and more... It's free. They ahve a website as well and if you need more info you can write me.

Hi S.
My husband is ex-Army and currently a contractor for the military. We moved to CO in August and have not met anyone yet (due to being in CA for our wedding in Oct. and in Dec. for the holidays.). He travels a lot for his job and I have started going with him because I'm so lonely and bored at home. I would love to talk with you. I'm looking to meet people as well and have some friends locally. We don't have children yet, but they are definitely in the plans! I am a teacher (who doesn't have a full time job at the moment)and I have always been surrounded by children. I'm in NY right now until April but then will be back in CO. Please feel free to email me ____@____.com

Hi S.,

Check out meetup.com, I live in Colorado Springs and my meet up group is called the Pikes Peak Moms, but there may be a moms group in your area too. Good Luck and Congratulations on the baby you are going to have.
