Christmas Travels

Well, we’re back from the great white north, and finally settled back in after a couple weeks of holiday travels. We flew to Omaha in mid-December, and spent about a week in Atlantic, then drove to Iowa City (through the great blizzard of 2009) on Christmas day. We spent another week in Iowa City and [...]

October & November Catch Up Post

Loyal Blog Readers: Boy, it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from you, what’s been going on with Scott and Jessica? ScottandJessica.net: Funny you should ask, we’ve actually been pretty busy the last few months. Loyal Blog Readers: Well, as far as we know, the last thing that happened was a few people visited [...]

Travel to Seattle (and Cooler Temps)

Here we are in the dog days of summer… and it is HOT! We’ve seen 100+ temps the past few weeks, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to let up any time soon. I guess that’s what you get for living in a desert. Fortunately, we were able to escape for a few days [...]

Alaskan Cruise

We made it back from our Alaskan cruise safe and sound (and tired) Sunday afternoon. While we were out in the last frontier, we kept a short daily journal of our adventures. We’ve also added a ton of photos (can you measure photos in tons?) to the gallery. We actually cut down the number of [...]

Birthday Surprise Trip

Last weekend for my birthday Scott told me to pack a bag and that we were going on a surprise birthday trip.  He didn’t tell me much except that I would need stuff for the whole weekend.  An hour into the trip I still didn’t know where we were going, but I had my suspicions.  [...]

Random Pile of Photos

We’ve been collecting a few random photos fro a little while now. They don’t really have a specific place of their own to live on here. Several are from our anniversary last month. We kept the top tier of our wedding cake (it survived 2 moves!), and ate it on our anniversary. We’ve also got [...]

Yard Work

It’s time for another catch-up post. We’ve been busy since moving into the new house. We took a quick vacation in DC after Jess’s work trip. Photos from DC are up in the gallery. Since then, we’ve been getting settled into the house. This includes a lot of work in the back yard recently. We [...]

Vegas Vacation

As my reward for completing the half marathon,* Scott and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend. We had a blast. But I have to say that the coolest thing we did was go to the Hoover Dam on our way to Vegas. We were absolutely in awe of this engineering marvel. Here are [...]

Holiday Wishes

Happy holidays everyone! We’re packing our suitcases to take off for Christmas. I’m packing my “lovely” new shirt (thanks Nancy and Robert!) which was more a gift to Jess than it was to me. Note the instructions (printed upside down so I can read them) on the shirt. I’m told that’s all I need to [...]

Pinetop, Arizona

Last weekend Scott, Nancy, Robert and I went to Pinetop, Arizona–a town in the White Mountains about 4 hours from Tucson. Saturday morning we went to a car show and saw some pretty cool cars. Following the car show we spent a while geocaching off of the trails in the area. We had a blast [...]
