quality friday: enjoying friends, old and new

mark and i have been having a great time exploring the bay area together. we've enjoyed discovering new things to spark our interests, and taking advantage of the beauty of northern california.

in all that we've done, one thing that we have missed dearly are the moments spent with wonderful friends. we still don't know many people in the area, and miss the interaction with friends - from the lack of coffee dates and to poker nights, we feel the void.

last week, vlada and michal, my dear college roommate and her husband-to-be, invited us to a bbq at their home. they both have many friends - from college, previous jobs, and current endeavors - who are new to the area, and thought it would be fun to get us all together to meet one another.

these two have a wonderful group of friends, and we had so much fun getting to know new people, thanks to our gracious hosts. we hit it off quickly with a number of them, and mark even got in on a poker game the following tuesday night, thanks to these new connections!

we really appreciate you introducing us to some new friends in the bay area, vlada and michal. but more importantly, thanks for being so awesome yourselves! can't wait to celebrate with you at your wedding in a few short weeks!

audrey, mark, vlada and michal
