Invitations are out!!!!!
Our wedding invitations are out and we are looking forward to seeing those of you who can make it very soon! Just a few tidbits about the wedding......
~We will be processing from the church to the reception so ladies if you plan to wear some stylish heels that are fabulous but not so conducive to comfortable walking, please throw some flip flops in your purse because you won't want to miss the procession.
~The name of the restaurant where the welcome reception will take place has changed from Quantum to Mondial. It is still the same location so just follow the map and be mindful of the name change.

Canary Hotel
http://www.canarysantabarbara.com/
We've reserved a block of 24 rooms under the Hine/Battle Wedding at a discounted rate of $265/night at the Canary Hotel (formerly Hotel Andalucia). The rooms typically go for a minimum of $405 per night in this luxurious boutique hotel located at the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. This is a phenomenal deal! The bride & groom will be staying here for the weekend so book your room and let's keep the party going. This hotel is conveniently located 6 blocks from the church where we'll say our vows and just 2.5 blocks (stumbling distance) from the historic El Paseo where we'll have our reception celebration. If this isn't for you, then check out our other recommendations:

Express Jet Airlines update
We've just been informed that Express Jet will no longer be flying effective September 1, 2008 due to the cost of fuel. The airline WILL NOT be contacting those who have airfare booked, rather you will need to contact them directly in order to get your money refunded. We apologize for the inconvenience to anyone who has booked per our recommendation through this airline.
http://www.xjet.com/
Some alternatives: If you are flying from Chico or Sacramento, you can catch a flight via San Francisco into the Santa Barbara Airport on SkyWest by United. Unfortunately, the cost is higher but is very convenient to land in Santa Barbara. From Sacramento there is also often a cheap flight on Southwest Airlines into Burbank where you can rent a car and then drive about an hour and a half north to Santa Barbara.

Our 1st Bridal Shower
We recently had the opportunity to vist Wisconsin for the 4th of July and our first bridal shower hosted by the Aunties Stoklasa. Many of you know that Jonathan's little sister is also getting married in October so the shower was a joint and co-ed occasion. Very, very fun stuff!! I'm so lucky to be marrying into such a warm and welcoming family. Brats, beer, Wisconsin trivia, the Newlywed Game.........it was AWSOME!!!

LET US KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HERE
Planning the wedding has given us the opportunity to re-connect with so many loved ones!!! We'd love to know if you've visited our blog and what you think. All you have to do is click on the word "comments" and you can give us your suggestions or ask any questions that you may have and we'll get back to you. Can't wait to see you all in November!!!!!
A tribute to Mom & Dad Battle........
Jonathan and I just had the privledge of helping my parents celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary! So we decided to cook for them at our humble abode. They spent a week with us on the central coast and then we took a road trip in the RV up to Napa for one of the most beautiful and heartfelt weddings I've been to in my life. My parents are an amazing example for Jon and I as we plan the rest of our lives together! Leo and Terry are unconditionally loving, generous to a fault and just plain fun. Thanks Mom and Dad for a brilliant week and for encouraging us to make our special day exactly what we want it to be.........oh yeah, and for footin' the bill! 
These were the most gigantic and beautiful tulips I've ever seen. The picture doesn't come close to doing them justice.
Us at the Peju winery in Yountville.
Artesa winery overlooking the entire Napa Valley, coolest winery ever......you have to go there!
