Welcome to Saving Time in a Bottle

Hi, we’re Jessica and Curtis, welcome to our blog! We’re passionate about living life to the fullest together, and we use this site as a way to share our stories. We grew up in Iowa, but are now living out the adventure of a lifetime with the Navy. We’ve made our home in Arizona, South Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Hawaii, and are now based in Nebraska. We love going out and experiencing life wherever we are, especially through hiking, backpacking, and road tripping. We hope our stories inspire you to get out and make the most of where you live, or to find your own way of recording your adventures!
