Holiday Parties

December 12 was my work Christmas luncheon. I absolutely love my job and the people that I work with. I feel very blessed when I think back about how everything seemed to fall together and put me there. Anyways... this year the luncheon was held at Ruth's Chris Steak House.

Basically the best, most expensive dinner you'll ever have. (Or, in my case, lunch). It was a delicious lunch and if you are looking for a place to celebrate an important event (anniversary, Valentines), I highly recommend it. Much to Brad's dismay, my office doesn't invite spouses to the lunch. Sorry Brad!

On December 13, Brad and I drove into downtown San Francisco for his work Christmas party. It was held at Fort Mason, which is a former military base that has been converted into a multicultural center. It is a beautiful location, sitting right on the San Francisco bay with a beautiful view of the city, the bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a fun night, and I got to meet a lot of the people that Brad works with.


Since this was the first time we had actually driven into the city (we usually take BART), we decided to drive past Union Square on our way home. With our trusty GPS in hand (early Christmas gift- thanks Mom and Dad!) we were confident we could find it without turning onto a one way street or a bad part of town. And we were successful! The Christmas tree and decorations were beautiful! Unfortunately, we weren't quick enough with the camera to snag a picture.
