1199ers: Where are they now?

Stephanie has exciting news to share. Since her April Members’ Voices video debut, she’s become a newlywed! Her new husband, Jeffrey, knowing about her love of hiking, even popped the question by a lake on her favorite trail.

Stephanie says they’re enjoying married life and the blending of their routines—including her 4:30 am gym sessions! And she’s thrilled to have a hiking partner for life. “We’re looking forward to our future together,” she said, “and hoping one day to have children and build a family committed to living a happy and healthy lifestyle.” Congratulations, Stephanie and Jeffrey!

In his Members’ Voices video, Junior Beauzile shared his dream of taking his children to Haiti, the island where he grew up. This year, he fulfilled that dream by bringing Julianna, Zoe, Leah, Jazzy and Danny on a cruise to the island. “They were thrilled,” he said. “They loved seeing the fish in the clear blue water.”

Junior has also been busy at home, expanding his backyard garden to grow more vegetables, including green pumpkin. His wife, Lillian, was so impressed that she found a recipe for Soup Joumou to make with it. “I was surprised,” Junior said. “And of course, it was delicious!”
