Been awhile since I last updated this thing; found some time today and so am sending out the updates.
I started my new job on the 2nd of Jan which I love; even more so than installing cable TV, I am now a Fire Protection System Technician installing and fixing firealarm systems in hotels/casinos, hospitals, schools, military bases ect ect.
This job doesnt have as much stress as my last job as it is more relaxed and the bosses are not breathing down our backs and cracking the whips.
Jess is still enjoying her job as a Apprenctice electrician and is still enjoying going to school 2 nights a week for her apprenticeship.
Weather was cold the 1st half of january with a little snow but mainly just cold with frost but the 2nd half was warm and febuary has been quite warm execpt for today when it snowed for a little bit; we didnt get as much snow as the skifields would like but there is still more snow on the way tonight.
Sparky and Emma are healthy and doing good; sparky has learned some new words.
‘Emma… Here kitty kitty kitty’
‘Hello’
‘I love you’
‘Sparkys a good boy’
‘Stepup’
‘Come ere and give me kisses’
He is still learning as you can see 
A couple of weeks ago we finally gave in and brought a new car; we brought a 2005 Jeep Liberty sport edition; 3.7L 4WD which we are having fun driving around in the trails around our suburbs; the other day a friend and I took the Jeep into the back country behind our house; we were gone all day exploring roads we didnt know were there.
If you think the Desert is ugly; you are correct BUT it is actually beautiful when you are in the middle of the desert with noone around you with no wind and no noises execpt the eagles in the sky and the coyotes calling; then and only then will you appreciate the
beauty of the desert.
Some time in March or April I will be going to a military base to work on the firesystem there; it is a 5 month project, I will be there 3 nights a week for 2 weeks a month with a 3 day weekend for 5 months or until the job is done.
Will be missing Jess but the money on this Job is way to good to turn down and it I will only be away for 6 nights out of a month which isnt too bad.
Hope you guys are enjoying your summer, please send some warmth this way please; Spring and Summer here isnt for about another 2 months which is unfortunate; cant wait to get back into fishing and camping.
Hope this letter finds you healthy and well, please feel free to send Jess and I an email letting us know how you are doing… our email is couple@scottjess.com
Ciao.
Scott & Jessica
