15


April 10, 1998

Two apartments, one extended stay with family, and one house purchase later...
A waitressing job, a legal assistant job, and motherhood for Shannon...
A manufacturing job, a marketing research job, and an entrepreneur startup for Jason...
Two bachelor degrees completed...
Five babies born...
One move from Utah to Oregon...
A repeat business startup in a new state...
Two fish, one cat...
A blue Subaru, a red Honda, a green Jeep, a white Subaru, another blue Subaru, 
a white Honda, and a white Dodge truck...
One commercial building purchased...
Two hospital stays with broken or sick kids...
One bathroom remodel, one kitchen remodel...
Fifteen employees hired, two employees fired, one employee rehired...
Three nieces and three and a half nephews born...
Countless sleepless nights over children, family, work, worry, excitement...
Numerous vacations and memories made at Disneyland, the beach, amusement parks,
other states, visits to family, Washington DC, and mostly in our own backyard...
Hundreds of hours logged in watching ballet, baseball, soccer, horseback riding, 
basketball, scouting, biking...
