amelia is one of my favorite girls from college, a staple at every sfsu house party and bar-hopping weekend i can remember (as well as those i can’t) from 2003 to 2005. much to my dismay, she moved from san francisco to pennsylvania shortly after we graduated and we hadn’t seen each other since … until last weekend <3

amelia and her fiancé chris flew back for a holiday weekend of fun festivities from bachelor and bachelorette parties to bridal showers and birthday barbecues. i was only able to attend her shower, but it was SO nice to see her. ellie got to meet her, too, which ignited some serious baby fever :)

like any good bridal shower, we enjoyed games, cupcakes, sunshine and laughter, and there were plenty of friendly faces watching as amelia opened gifts under an umbrella by the pool. the weather was perfect and a good time was had by all.

i looked into flights to philadelphia to attend her wedding in november, but we simply can’t spend the money right now. i’m really happy she came back here for her shower so i could at least help celebrate her that way <3 i love you, amelia bedelia!
