Currently, we split our time between a small, rural town in southeast Nebraska and another one in Oklahoma. We love The Great Plains, but we also love to see new places and experience new things. So we travel. We write authentic stories about the places we&#8217;ve been and the experiences we&#8217;ve shared in hopes of influencing others to just go places!<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, we both focused on our careers and spent more than two decades in corporate America and public education. Like many others, we ran the rat race year after year and longed for the days when we could take a real vacation without having to worry about checking our emails or answering phone calls. Then, enough was enough. \u00a0Ann stopped working in 2014 when she encountered some health issues and after months of consideration and prayer, <a href=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\/so-i-kinda-quit-my-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve quit his job<\/a> as a middle school principal in 2017 so we could enjoy more time together and explore some other opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we&#8217;re taking some time to focus on our health, family, travel, and whatever else makes us smile. We&#8217;re also travel advisors with <a href=\"https:\/\/ateget.dreamvacations.com\/travel\/HomePage.html\">Dream Vacations<\/a>, and would love to help you book your next cruise, all-inclusive resort, or land-based vacation. We&#8217;re glad you&#8217;re here and hope you&#8217;ll come along on our journey.<\/p>\n<p>You can also follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PostcardJar\">X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/postcardjar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/postcardjar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/postcardjar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and don\u2019t forget to send us a postcard at Postcard Jar, P.O.

We both lived in the small, rural Nebraska town of Crete for more than nine years, but neither of us can remember a specific time or place we actually met. Likely, we became aware of whom the other person was several years ago when Ann came to Crete High School on Thursday mornings to volunteer as a mentor and Steve worked as an administrator in the office there. We exchanged hellos and eventually shared brief conversations. In June of 2010, Ann asked Steve to go to a College World Series game (read more about that here) and the rest is history. We dated for a little more than a year, had a 10-week engagement, and were married Aug. 27, 2011.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_26\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26\" class=\"wp-image-26 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/AWB_9933-e1406770983707.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve and Ann of www.postcardjar.com on their wedding day.

Upon his return from WWII, my grandfather declared that he was going to take my grandmother to see the world. And he did. Over the course of about 40 years, they visited more than 80 countries. They went from Mexico to Morocco, from Tibet to Timbuktu. They would come home and tell stories and show pictures of the places they\u2019d been. I so wanted to go along. In high school, I had the opportunity to travel to Argentina as a foreign exchange student. It was my first trip outside the country. Everything was so new. I was hooked.<\/p>\n<p>A: Ann \u2013 Unlike Steve, I didn\u2019t travel abroad until I was 36, but I remember great family road trips as a kid to places like the the Grand Canyon, the Black Hills of South Dakota, my grandparents\u2019 retirement home in The Ozarks, and one long cross country trek with six kids and two adults to St. Petersburg, Florida. Leaving the prairie of Southeast Nebraska and seeing the desert, hills, mountains, lakes or beaches was always exhilarating and gave me the bug for travel.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Q.

We rented a cabana for the day on a beach in Chankanaab Park. Our private area included a cabana with padded benches and a table, lounge chairs, a covered bed, hammock, and picnic table. \n\nOur wonderful server, Dalia, brought us food and drinks that we ordered from a menu. we also indulged in 30 minute massages at a nearby cabana which was perfect for relaxing while listening to the ocean. They also had complimentary snorkel gear available and we enjoyed swimming in the ocean. \n\nEven though it\u2019s pretty hot here this time of year, it was a nice way to spend part of the day. We plan to come back to this place when we return to Cozumel on our group cruise in January.\n\nOur next Postcard Jar Friends Cruise will be to the Western Caribbean on the Celebrity Reflection in January 2025. We still have a few cabins available if you would like to join us! \n\nJust send us a DM if you would like more information . \n\n#cozumel #chankanaab #chankanaabpark #cabana #celebritybeyond #celebritycruises #beachday #cozumelmexico #cozumelmexico\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfd #cozumel\u2728 #cruising #groupcruise\">\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17877774657119055\" data-date=\"1726601655\">\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DAB7i9Uv5VL\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/460651852_18456900427003047_8540059325881911392_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;_nc_ohc=veDID2DiIF8Q7kNvgHlP80u&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&#038;oh=00_AYB68BQRbVCDQbXrtvTLoEH_9rritjpK1jMTb89BGC_ZiQ&#038;oe=673AB679\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/460651852_18456900427003047_8540059325881911392_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=veDID2DiIF8Q7kNvgHlP80u&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYB68BQRbVCDQbXrtvTLoEH_9rritjpK1jMTb89BGC_ZiQ&amp;oe=673AB679&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/460651852_18456900427003047_8540059325881911392_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=veDID2DiIF8Q7kNvgHlP80u&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYB68BQRbVCDQbXrtvTLoEH_9rritjpK1jMTb89BGC_ZiQ&amp;oe=673AB679&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/460651852_18456900427003047_8540059325881911392_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=veDID2DiIF8Q7kNvgHlP80u&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYB68BQRbVCDQbXrtvTLoEH_9rritjpK1jMTb89BGC_ZiQ&amp;oe=673AB679&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/460651852_18456900427003047_8540059325881911392_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=veDID2DiIF8Q7kNvgHlP80u&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYB68BQRbVCDQbXrtvTLoEH_9rritjpK1jMTb89BGC_ZiQ&amp;oe=673AB679&quot;}\">\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">\ud83c\udf82\ud83e\udd73\ud83c\udf89 Please join me in wishing Steve a hap<\/span>\n            \t                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf82\ud83e\udd73\ud83c\udf89 Please join me in wishing Steve a happy birthday today and let him know where you\u2019re from!\n\nHe is starting his day off well with coffee, fruit, and his favorite dulce de leche croissant onboard the beautiful Celebrity Beyond. \n\nWe\u2019re docked in Cozumel, Mexico, today and plan to spend some time relaxing on the beach.

I was young, single, far away from home, and working as a sports writer at a newspaper in Anderson, S.C. at the time.\n\nI didn\u2019t 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.\n\nWhen I got pregnant, I  listened to deluge of everyone\u2019s 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. \n\nOver the years, we\u2019ve 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. \n\nToday, 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\u2019s lived, and led others to Christ. \n\nI can\u2019t imagine my life or this world without her. \n\nI 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. \n\nToday, more than ever, I\u2019m thankful to all of the people who have touched Meghan\u2019s life over these three decades. You know who you are. You made a huge difference in my life and in hers. Let\u2019s celebrate that and the beautiful girl that came into all our lives 30 years ago today. Oh, and Go Big Red! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udfc8\ud83c\udf3d\n\nWe love you, Meghan.\n\n-Mom\n\n#singleparent #singleparenting #singlemoms #30thbirthday #singleparentsupport #singleparenttravel\">\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17931663818809181\" data-date=\"1725372274\">\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C_dSr-HuWF7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/441933940_18454110814003047_3709319665316911696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;_nc_ohc=jl4XwehXRe0Q7kNvgE6y43I&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&#038;oh=00_AYBxjG-QjlFL40ZaXy4FCGI-8BOa9dzNqZZP2y3QNdqkZA&#038;oe=673ABFF7\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/441933940_18454110814003047_3709319665316911696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=jl4XwehXRe0Q7kNvgE6y43I&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYBxjG-QjlFL40ZaXy4FCGI-8BOa9dzNqZZP2y3QNdqkZA&amp;oe=673ABFF7&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/441933940_18454110814003047_3709319665316911696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=jl4XwehXRe0Q7kNvgE6y43I&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYBxjG-QjlFL40ZaXy4FCGI-8BOa9dzNqZZP2y3QNdqkZA&amp;oe=673ABFF7&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/441933940_18454110814003047_3709319665316911696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=jl4XwehXRe0Q7kNvgE6y43I&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYBxjG-QjlFL40ZaXy4FCGI-8BOa9dzNqZZP2y3QNdqkZA&amp;oe=673ABFF7&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/441933940_18454110814003047_3709319665316911696_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=jl4XwehXRe0Q7kNvgE6y43I&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYBxjG-QjlFL40ZaXy4FCGI-8BOa9dzNqZZP2y3QNdqkZA&amp;oe=673ABFF7&quot;}\">\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\"><\/span>\n            <svg class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-clone fa-w-16 sbi_lightbox_carousel_icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Clone\" data-fa-pro\u0192cessed=\"\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"clone\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n\t                <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M464 0H144c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v48H48c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v320c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h320c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48v-48h48c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48V48c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zM362 464H54a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V150a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h42v224c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h224v42a6 6 0 0 1-6 6zm96-96H150a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V54a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h308a6 6 0 0 1 6 6v308a6 6 0 0 1-6 6z\"><\/path>\n\t            <\/svg>\t                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf89 Woke up today to see our 250th consecutive \u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f review on @Airbnb! (Click through these slides to see a few of them.) If you\u2019re new here, we have a home in Pawhuska, Okla. called @postcardplce that we share on Airbnb when we\u2019re not there. \n\nWe\u2019ve 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. \n\nThere 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\u2019ve also received incredible support from other local businesses, the @pawhuskachamber, Osage Laundry, and so many friends and awesome neighbors. \n\nThank you all for your help making Postcard Place such a special place for our guests and visitors to Pawhuska. \n\nTo check availability and book your stay, just type \u201cPostcard Place\u201d in the comments section below. \n\n#postcardplace #airbnb #vacationrental #pawhuska #pawhuskaoklahoma #pawhuskaok #pawhuskachamberofcommerce #thepioneerwoman #pwmercantile #travelok\">\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_video sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17871728043167839\" data-date=\"1724861971\">\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C_OFPxiO10X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/457254762_1068960734571843_8246069374104164996_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;_nc_ohc=0hTfzISl3KoQ7kNvgHqp3UR&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&#038;oh=00_AYCI_Vp5QExknu5ICuh-qUw5rJuKiDcl5gFddoO9NFIr5w&#038;oe=673AA941\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/457254762_1068960734571843_8246069374104164996_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=0hTfzISl3KoQ7kNvgHqp3UR&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYCI_Vp5QExknu5ICuh-qUw5rJuKiDcl5gFddoO9NFIr5w&amp;oe=673AA941&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/457254762_1068960734571843_8246069374104164996_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=0hTfzISl3KoQ7kNvgHqp3UR&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYCI_Vp5QExknu5ICuh-qUw5rJuKiDcl5gFddoO9NFIr5w&amp;oe=673AA941&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/457254762_1068960734571843_8246069374104164996_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=0hTfzISl3KoQ7kNvgHqp3UR&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYCI_Vp5QExknu5ICuh-qUw5rJuKiDcl5gFddoO9NFIr5w&amp;oe=673AA941&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.29350-15\\\/457254762_1068960734571843_8246069374104164996_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=0hTfzISl3KoQ7kNvgHqp3UR&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=Aeu9q0ziIIsT6rbRxLL77a-&amp;oh=00_AYCI_Vp5QExknu5ICuh-qUw5rJuKiDcl5gFddoO9NFIr5w&amp;oe=673AA941&quot;}\">\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">#AD Are you already starting to dread the icy stin<\/span>\n            \t        <svg style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,1)\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-play fa-w-14 sbi_playbtn\" aria-label=\"Play\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-fa-processed=\"\" data-prefix=\"fa\" data-icon=\"play\" role=\"presentation\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M424.4 214.7L72.4 6.6C43.8-10.3 0 6.1 0 47.9V464c0 37.5 40.7 60.1 72.4 41.3l352-208c31.4-18.5 31.5-64.1 0-82.6z\"><\/path><\/svg>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"#AD Are you already starting to dread the icy sting of winter? \u2744\ufe0f Then do something about it!

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\u2019s private island, Half Moon Cay.\n\nHolland America Line has dozens of intriguing Caribbean itineraries with a great Labor Day Deal!
