A Shower for Two Seasons Amidst a Hurricane

This weekend in Miami was one hell of a trip. Amber's family came down for the Steelers vs. Dolphins football game, so my family took the opportunity to throw a "wedding shower," which is like a bridal shower except that I'm also there. It was actually more of a pre-wedding reception in Miami for those who can't make the trip out to Steeltown.
