Fun with Friends at AT&T Park

Left to right: Cindy, Jessica, Steve, Scott, Me, and Matt

There's been a lot going on and I have been feeling a bit stuck in a rut from not feeling well for so long, so when our good friend Steve mentioned they'd be in town for a baseball game, we thought we'd check it out. Turns out Steve had good seats, and it also turned out that they were pretty cheap since it was a preseason game...then it turned out that there were two available seats right next to them. With that, Matt and I looked at one another and said, "Let's go!" 

So last Friday we met up with our friends Steve, Jessica, Cindy, and Scott, in San Francisco and walked into AT&T Park together. We grabbed some stadium snacks and settled into our seats to enjoy the game and finally spend some time together. These are some of my favorite people to spend time with because they always make me laugh till my cheeks hurt, can get me out of any funk, truly care about Matt and me, and always feel like home. 

Sometimes you can meet someone and feel like you've known them your whole life. That's how it was when I first met Jessica and Cindy (who are best friends) several years ago when we all got together at Steve's moms' house to hangout in the game room. Since then Jessica and Steve have been dating, Matt and I have gotten married (and Steve was Matt's Best Man), we've had many good times hanging out all together (including those over Black Sheep's mac 'n cheese in SLO!), and Jessica came to stay with me for a girl's night in San Jose. I've kept in touch with Cindy through Facebook and celebrated virtually as she met Scott, started dating, and then they got engaged. We hadn't met Scott before this last weekend, but when we did- no big surprise- it also felt like we'd known him for forever, too! We had so much fun being reunited, feeling like almost no time had passed, and laughing all night! One of the highlights of the night: we're laughing like crazy over the boys being...well, boys...and this guy next to Jessica taps her on the shoulder and asks, "Are these guys bothering you?" She looks at him like he's nuts and responds, "Uhhh no! These are our BOYFRIENDS!" Well, boyfriend, fiance, and husband but it doesn't matter- we all belong together!

Oops! I almost forgot to mention (which is probably because I'm not a sport's fan and don't think about these things, haha!)- the game was the Giants vs the Oakland A's and the Giants won. There you go Giant's fans! :)

Crazy friends make you laugh; the boys sing "Take me out to the ballgame"; and the girls smile for a picture while the boys make weird faces

My first time to AT&T Park and the view from our seats. Matt has raised me to be a Dodgers fan so the orange and black overload was a little hard to take. Haha!
