My Mom and Dad wanted a name that was not only unique, but strong... the kind of name that can stand on its own, one that is unforgettable.  

There are a few Zara's in the world, the most well known being Zara Phillips, granddaughter of the former Queen of England.  Zara means princess and light.  They say I am their princess and the light of their lives!

Mom and Dad have made many memories while standing, rafting and wading in rivers.  Daddy asked Mom to marry him while standing in a river.  They've been rafting on the Snake with bald eagles and waded many a river in search of trophy trout.  All of these experiences are forever part of who they are and by giving me the name - Zara River - they hope to pass on their love and appreciation for nature and adventure to me.

Now, I’m off to make a lifetime of memories!
