February 2009 ~ Jason made over a dozen Excel models including a complex amortization schedule for mortgages and refinancing, an advanced stock analysis, a mutual fund analyzer for thousands of funds, a stock market analyzer that texts results to his phone and one that retrieves bank interest rates. Among many other Excel functions, Jason learned how to have Excel read aloud, email, and text.

March 9, 2009 ~ Jason was accepted to the University Of Nebraska Lincoln College Of Law.

March 25, 2009 ~ Brittany got a job working for the Idaho Census Bureau going door to door with a GPS system, mapping addresses in Rexburg, Idaho.

April 2, 2009 ~ We hosted a 70’s party with a disco ball, costumes, music, food, friends, and games. We played the Newlywed Game and also learned some fun 70s terms such as “do me a solid” and “Bogart.”

We were taken via a Flight For Life Ambulance to Denver Children’s Hospital where we stayed for 3 days. After 11 pokes, 3 x-rays, and an echocardiogram we were told that she had a common cold virus, which caused an “acute life-threatening event.”
