Family Update: 2025

L to R: McCoy, Quinton, Rhiannon, Declan, Tia, Zaynzley, Archer & Eddy

It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since my last update in 2025. Time really does fly—and in our case, it’s brought a whirlwind of change, growth, and some pretty big milestones.

Quinton has moved to the big city and is enjoying pursuing his interests and hobbies.

Declan graduated from high school, completed a two-year mission in the Mexico Cancún Mission, and recently married his high school sweetheart, Tia. Watching him take those big steps into adulthood has been both surreal and heartwarming.

McCoy is right behind him, wrapping up his senior year and getting ready to graduate next week. It feels like just yesterday we were helping him learn to ride a bike—now he’s ready to take on the world.

Archer is finishing his freshman year of high school, and Zaynzley has officially survived the rollercoaster that is 7th grade (drama and all!).

On the professional front, Eddy is back in the classroom, teaching junior high social studies. And as for me, I’ve taken on a brand-new challenge—teaching high school special education for the first time ever. The best part? We’re both at the same school, which has made this new chapter even more meaningful.

The past few years haven’t been without their ups and downs, but each twist and turn has brought opportunities to grow, learn, and support each other. Life is rarely predictable, but that’s part of what makes it beautiful.

Thanks for following along with our journey. Here’s to embracing change, celebrating progress, and finding joy in the everyday.
