Where are you from?

We are both from WNY, a small town right on the Erie Canal.

How did you meet?

Scott asked Al out to the Halloween Dance in 6th Grade – 1995. She said no.

And…when did you start dating?

17 years later Scott asked Al out on Christmas Day, 2012. She said yes.

Are you married? (asked ALOT)

We used to get asked this a lot when we lived in Washington, DC. Our wedding was on August 19, 2017, shortly after moving home.

Where do you reside now?

After spending 3 years living together in Alexandria, VA, we moved back to our hometown of Medina, NY in 2016. We purchased Alix’s childhood horse farm.

When did you start the blog? Why?

We began the blog in October 2013, 2 months after Al moved down to the area. We didn’t want to be the couple that stayed in all the time and got in the routine of elastic pants, TV shows, and take-out (even if that IS damn fun from time to time…) In a DC Minute was born to make sure we were living life (and our new relationship) to the fullest.

How do you divide blog duties?

Alix is by far the one who runs the show. These duties have evolved over time, but Alix remains the primary writer, editor, and photographer.

What do you do for work?

Al is an educator and works as a marketing consultant, Scott runs the marketing for a health care system.
