Halloween Reunion in SF

Just saw my SF gals in our old stomping grounds in SF. It's been 8 years since we all met. Here are some pics of our adventures in the big city. These are my special ladies :)

Check out Sarah's pics here.
Check out Laurie's pics here.
Check out Shannon's pics here.

Heidi wrote a beautiful poem and recited it to us on Saturday night. It is so touching I knew I had to post it. Plus, I can read it anytime I'm down in the dumps and need a reminder of how much my friends mean to me!

San Francisco….

It was November 2000, when it all began,
A unique group of girls, now these women my dearest friends.

Upon my move, I was a bit unsure of where I’d fit in
Yet an office above Spago’s offered me more than a job,
It cultivated a circle of friendship that will not end.

A group of women all from different cities or states,
Our souls drawn together, one could say it was fate.

Our job was exciting and draining at times,
Even with some VBITS drooling, trying to smile the whole time.

With Papa Smurf and Crazy Pam, none could compare,
Made for good laughs and stories to share.

Yet, what I love most is the time that we had,
The closeness we grew on the road or in the SF pad.

As we changed jobs, moved away or found the love of our life,
We held each other’s hand into this next phase of life.

And as for the men who have married these beautiful women,
I am honored to be a part of your lives as well.
You are men of great strength, truth and honor,
Most of all I admire your love for one another.

A true friend is by your side, through every aspect life may bring.
We encompass that together, as we all have seen.

Laughter….when you stomach aches, you cannot breath.

Tears…streaming down ones face, when you are not sure you can go on.

Joy….for the new adventure you are taking or the new life you have given.

Love….when it consumes your heart, soul and mind.

You, my precious friends
I hold with great esteem
Each unique and special
Is what you are to me.

As the years go on may our friendships continue to blossom and grow.
