This weekend, my work friends and I attended the wedding of my former boss Kristin and her partner Natalie. This was my first lesbian wedding, and probably not my last. I do live in Massachusetts after all.

The wedding (and subsequent clambake) was held at Larz Anderson Park just a few minutes down the road from where we live. It was a beautiful ceremony, and I am touched that they invited me to be a part of this important day in their lives.

More than anything I appreciated spending virtually the entire weekend with the girls from work. We have been through so much together in the past year - the departure of a beloved leader, each us individually stepping up to the plate to move the work forward, and the transitioning of authority to a new person. We have weathered more challenges and experienced more professional growth than we could have ever imagined or asked for. I also could not have asked for a better group of women to work with, and if this were Jr. High, I would pick them for my team any day.
