What We're Looking Forward To in 2026

Things we're excited about in the new year

The start of a new year brings lots of new and exciting possibilities. We asked our TJM family what they’re looking forward to in 2026. Here are some of their responses:

Matt Fischer

This year I am most excited to welcome a new addition to our family. My wife and I are expecting our second child this February. Wish me luck as I will have my hands full here very soon!

Shannon Moore

I am most excited for the changes 2026 is going to bring. I just had ankle surgery done to hopefully fix a mobility issue I've had for the last three years. So getting back to my normal activity level is a huge goal I have.

Last year was a difficult, challenging one for me and my family, involving care for a family member 800 miles from home. So I’m looking forward to enjoying more time at home with my wife, leisure travel together, and happier times overall.

Jess Rodriguez-Marcano

For this new year, I'm looking forward to focusing on personal art projects, and getting my ducks in a row to prepare for the next chapter of my life as I approach turning 30 this year. 2026 will certainly be a year of big changes and challenges.

Justin MacDonald

I’m looking forward to a year of growth! We have a lot of new team members that I’m excited about, we have team members with families that are growing that I’m excited about, and we have new machinery and new processes on the way that will help our offerings to our customers grow!

Courtney Cole

This year my family has two big vacations planned that we are all really looking forward to. Growing up, my parents had a cabin/house on Lake Wylie on the border of North and South Carolina. It was always one of our favorite vacations. We found a vacation rental and are going back this year for a week over the 4th of July so that should be a ton of fun! There are 18 of us going!

Also, this fall we are taking all of the kids on their first Disney Cruise. We will be celebrating Halloween on the High Seas, as it’s called, and are SO EXCITED! Other than that, my now two-year-old twins keep me super busy. So seeing what other fun adventures we can have this year is always something to look forward to.
