Michael and I returned to San Francisco for one final week to get moved out of our apartment and to kick off the new year with some of our dearest friends.

We started the night off with appetizers and mint juleps at Christie & Troy’s apartment.  It was great to see Christie since she has been traveling the world for Facebook lately and we’ve missed her around the city.

After some quality catch-up time with the Bienemanns, we cabbed over to La Mar on the Embarcadero to meet up with the rest of the crew for the New Years spectacular.  The night was filled with fabulous ceviche, pisco sours, and other Peruvian specialties, a plethora of New Years toasts that all were required by Mike Saign to give excited to give, an incredible fireworks show over the water, a less incredible DJ, and of course, lots of laughs and memories.  Here is a quick look at our evening…
