🎂 Please join us in wishing our daughter, @megh 🎂 Please join us in wishing our daughter, @meghan_ks , a HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TODAY! This first photo was shortly after Meghan was born by a photographer friend who was there to help me through lamaze (yep, it worked) and labor. I was young, single, far away from home, and working as a sports writer at a newspaper in Anderson, S.C. at the time. I didn’t have much money, so there was no bassinet when we came home from hospital. Instead, Meghan she slept in a drawer from my dresser, padded with blankets, stacked on top of a cardboard box and held in place with a suitcase near my bed. I was 24 years old, broke, single, and absolutely terrified of having and caring for a newborn baby and raising her on my own. When I got pregnant, I listened to deluge of everyone’s concerns and suggestions. I considered all my options. I knew the statistics of raising a child on my own were not great. I chose to become a single mom. Over the years, we’ve been surrounded with friends, family, colleagues, church members, teachers, mentors, and neighbors who loved us both and provided the support and encouragement we both needed. It was not an easy road, but we made it. She made it. Today, she is a debt-free, responsible, caring friend, 4th grade Sunday school teacher, world traveler, exceptional coupon finder, and cardiac ICU nurse at the Mayo Clinic. She has (literally) saved lives, given back to the communities in which she’s lived, and led others to Christ. I can’t imagine my life or this world without her. I could not be more proud of incredible woman Meghan has become and more blessed by a wonderful husband who came into our lives 14 years ago and with whom we can share our experiences. Today, more than ever, I’m thankful to all of the people who have touched Meghan’s life over these three decades. You know who you are. You made a huge difference in my life and in hers. Let’s celebrate that and the beautiful girl that came into all our lives 30 years ago today. Oh, and Go Big Red! ❤️🏈🌽 We love you, Meghan. -Mom #singleparent #singleparenting #singlemoms #30thbirthday #singleparentsupport #singleparenttravel
🎉 Woke up today to see our 250th consecutive ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on @Airbnb! (Click through these slides to see a few of them.) If you’re new here, we have a home in Pawhuska, Okla. called @postcardplce that we share on Airbnb when we’re not there. We’ve hosted more than 1,000 solo travelers, couples, friends, and multigenerational families from at least 38 states since we opened our home to guests in 2019. There is absolutely no way we could reach this milestone without the help of our amazing housekeepers, Jaimie and Kim (and past housekeepers Jen and Castanya) and our yard maintenance, house maintenance, painter, fern waterer and wisdom giver Gio. We’ve also received incredible support from other local businesses, the @pawhuskachamber, Osage Laundry, and so many friends and awesome neighbors. Thank you all for your help making Postcard Place such a special place for our guests and visitors to Pawhuska.

#AD Are you already starting to dread the icy stin #AD Are you already starting to dread the icy sting of winter? ❄️ Then do something about it! Book a Caribbean cruise with @hollandamericaline today and have something relaxing (and warm) to look forward to. 🌞🕶️🏝️ Last year, while there was still frost on our windshield, Holland America Line hosted us aboard their beautiful ship Nieuw Statendam for a glorious Caribbean cruise. It was just what we needed to escape Old Man Winter. We were pampered with personalized service from the moment we stepped on board, and we dined like royalty in beautiful restaurants. Best of all, we did some island hopping, where we explored by bicycle, took a tour by jeep, and relaxed in hammocks with frozen drinks in hand at HAL’s private island, Half Moon Cay. Holland America Line has dozens of intriguing Caribbean itineraries with a great Labor Day Deal! Just comment HAL below or check out the link in our IG bio for more information. #HollandAmericaPartner #HalfMoonCay #HollandAmericaLine #HollandAmerica #Caribbean #CruiseBlogger #CruiseVacation #Travel #CruiseTime #CaribbeanCruise #Cruisegram #Instacruise #CruiseTrip #PostcardJar #CruiseLife #CruiseVacation #CruiseHoliday #cruisetravel

📸 Each year on our wedding anniversary (Aug. 27 📸 Each year on our wedding anniversary (Aug. 27 makes 13 years) we take a photo of ourselves holding the photo that we took the year before. It has been a wonderful way to commemorate our special day and celebrate our marriage. Every photograph represents a little something different - times of joy and sorrow, sickness and health, plenty and want. This year - a total knee replacement for Ann!🦿 We were both single for a very long time and didn’t find each other and marry until we were 38 and 42 years old. Every year is a blessing and our marriage is still the journey of a lifetime. Be sure to save this reel and share it with someone you know who is getting married soon. #postcardjar #anniversary #lovestory #anniversaryphotos #anniversaries #anniversaryphotoideas #weddinganniversary #weddinganniversary❤️ #anniversaries #healthyliving #13thanniversary #anniversaryphotoinspiration #anniversaryphotoshoot
🩼 ICYMI, Ann just had a total right knee replac 🩼 ICYMI, Ann just had a total right knee replacement, and she is working hard to be ship-shape for our Postcard Jar Friends Cruise in January aboard the beautiful Celebrity Reflection. We’d love for you to join us! That’s right: a little knee replacement isn’t going to slow her down. She’s doing her rehab exercises, icing her knee, and walking further and further each day. Click the link in our bio for more details including pricing for the group cruise. Time is running out, so don’t delay. Our awesome group rates will expire in mid-September. If you’re interested in joining us, please leave a comment here or drop us a DM and we’ll be in touch soon!
I have the most supportive and encouraging husband I have the most supportive and encouraging husband, ever! Steve has taken great care of me following my total replacement. Every time I hit a milestone, he congratulates me in his own special way. Yesterday, I had to laugh when he whistled the Olympic theme song after my leg left. This week, I finally was able to lift my leg into the bed without assistance. I’m walking with a cane, can stand in the kitchen to cook a meal, and I’m taking several outdoor walks a day. Recovery is a slow process, but thankfully, I am making progress. #TKR #totalkneereplacement #totalkneereplacementjourney #totalkneereplacementrehab #totalkneesurgery
🎉 I am on the road to recovery from my total kn 🎉 I am on the road to recovery from my total knee replacement Monday! According to my surgeons, my body apparently hates surgery and anesthesia. Post surgery, my blood pressure dropped and I was not able to sit or stand without feeling dizzy and faint. It was a pretty miserable few days. I spent a couple nights in the hospital until my body adjusted. In time, everything was back to normal and we moved from the hospital to a hotel Wednesday night. I have felt so much better the last couple days and we are going to make the drive from Rochester, Minn., back to our home in Nebraska on Saturday (please pray for our trip). My knee is doing really well and pain is manageable with Tylenol. I’ve been up walking with a walker, doing my exercises, and have gotten in a couple showers without issue. Steve has taken exceptional care of me and our daughter, Meghan, came by today and painted my toenails (yay). Thank you so much for all of your love and encouragement. Your notes, voicemails, messages, and prayers, have meant so much to both of us. I’ll spend the next few weeks, focusing on building back my strength and exercising my knee. We hope to be back to traveling by mid-September. In the meantime, any questions about TKR? #totalkneereplacement #tkr #totalkneereplacementjourney #totalkneesurgery #mayoclinic #kneesurgery
