Tinker AFB, Oklahoma 2014-2018

Tinker AFB marked a season of growth, challenge, and change for our family. During our four years in Oklahoma, we welcomed two more children, turning our family of four into a family of six. We both promoted to Captain, Zed deployed twice in support of operations overseas, and we continued learning how to balance military service with family life. Between deployments, growing careers, church callings, and raising four young children, Oklahoma became a place where resilience, teamwork, and community took on new meaning. The Tinker years were busy, sometimes chaotic, and often exhausting, but they helped shape the family we are today.
