Guest blog: Moving to Omaha

This blog is guest written by Erica A Zettle, MPA

In July 2018, my very pregnant daughter and son-in-law had moved to Omaha so he could take a job at Mutual of Omaha in the actuarial department. A couple of months later, I arrived in Omaha to meet my beautiful granddaughter. At the time, I was living and working in Michigan and preparing to make a move to Gainesville, Florida.
