Leah's Wedding: Change Your Calendars

Unconfirmed, but it's the word on the street (and who knows how it got on the street, but I think Uncle Vic is telling everyone...... kidding!)

The date for the Event of the Year (I know Uncle Vic will like that one) has been changed:

• Leah's Wedding will now be held on Friday September 5th

If I hear anything more, I'll let y'all know. And I'm sure the father of the bride will too.

New Pics: San Jose Visits

Err'one. I got a new batch of pictures from the Nor Cal Contingent.

Can't exactly remember the date, but it must have been 2 or 3 months ago that The San Jose Hernandez's'z's' came for a visit. They camped out at Rufugio State Beach, and a few of the fam made it up there for a day trip.

Look here at Uncle Vic and Auntie Gina, using the VW to put a nice twist on Grampa Sal's old school sensibilities.

Can't hardly tell these guys apart, can you? ;)

And here's one of all them kids, the ones to carry on the traditions.

Here's the whole album.

Good times!

Leah's Wedding: The Date is Set

Alright, y'all. Here it is, word from Uncle Vic himself.

Leah's Wedding will be held on Saturday August 30, 2008 in Morgan Hill, California.

As Uncle Vic says, Morgan Hill is 45 minutes closer to Santa Barbara, so the drive will be easier for us. The time allows us to get our planners and calendars out so we can schedule everything WAY ahead of time. Invitations, he said, will be coming soon.

Uncle Vic guarantees we'll all have a good time, even if he has to get on stage and perform 'Reasons' by Earth, Wind & Fire to make sure...... kidding about that last part, but we know it'll be good times.

Mark your Calendars, folks!

San Jose Speaks

Y'all. Here's a few notes from the Nor Cal Contingent of our Fam. Thanks to Leah for the info!

• My little brother CJ is currently living in San Francisco with our uncle and cousins. He seems to like it but plans to come home late November.

• As for myself, David and I are still on the hunt for a ceremony/reception location. I'm looking for a simple ceremony like the SB Courthouse, and a really nice reception like at the Double Tree Resort. That would be ideal but I don't know the expense for that. So I ask you and the family for your help. If anything comes to mind please let me know. We want this to be a special wedding by visually acknowledging our heritage on both sides telling our story. Any suggestions? I found a wedding location near San Jose that will work for us, and my parents' budget. However, if you or the family think of something in SB please let me know ASAP!

• Happy Halloween!! Today my mom, Gina, and her work team dressed up as cowboys in memory of Uncle Bob :). She looked cute with Uncle Bob's black hat and belt. Her team at work were all very supportive during that rough time. At work meetings my mom always talked about Bob in a positive way.

• My dad, Victor, says he looks forward to seeing everyone at Thanksgiving dinner. Also, his van is a tribute to Grandpa Sal and he's having a lot of fun with it.

• I hope all is well with the family. Love and miss you all!

There you go, folks. Good times on all accounts! Nor Cal, we'll see you all for Thanksgiving, if not sooner.

Cheers!
