We finally made it to Papillion, Nebraska at midnight on Friday the 13th after 1,000 miles on the road from San Antonio! Why do the last hours drag on so? Met my cousin Val in Denton for lunch, the highlight of the day.
I've already caught up with my first roommate from college and her twins on Saturday. Then yesterday we went to Nebraska City to see my Mom's side: my grandma, 2 aunts and uncles, and cousin and her new baby. Also went to Arbor Lodge in NE City, where the Morton family started Arbor Day. I've been trying to get Ryan to go there for years. It's great to catch up with my parents and brother too!

About Me
- Cara
- I'm an extroverted, fun-loving adventure seeker. Married, child-free (and plan to stay child free for at least a few more years). I'm active and enjoy hiking in nature. I'm new to Seattle as of August 2007 and love the liberal feel, spiritualness and outdoorsy/healthy qualities of Seattleites. I have become a yogi and walk to a studio near my house. Just bought our first house, which I'm happy about at times and at others wish we had a more free living arrangement in order to travel more. My short term goals are to learn Spanish, take dance lessons, and cooking classes. I'm a dietitian by occupation,have my master's in health education, however, my dream job is to write and travel, not necessarily in that order. I'm trying to live this dream by spending 2 months in Guatemala in a language immersion program and writing about my experience. I'm open to meeting new people as well as advice on how to make my traveling dreams a reality. I'm blessed with my family and friends. You guys rock!
