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.

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!!!
