Both Rachel and Brandon are doing well in school. Rachel has made honor roll ever report card this year and right now is currently working on making deans list shes just 2 a's away!!! Brandon is as active as ever he has tutoring 2 days a week for math and science not that he needs it i think he just likes to stay after school with his buddies and get candy! but whatever the reason he is doing well in both subjects so i guess its working! I have been keeping busy at my parents house helping my dad with his renovations of the house.

2010 update
Well as we close on 2009 and begin 2010 a few changes are being made in the Frist household. One being in Feb. i quit my job due to lack of promise keeping on their end and the rising cost of fuel etc was making it unprofitable for me to continue to travel to Largo everyday. I went to my supervisor and made my request (which seeing as how it was promised to me 4 months earlier i didnt see as a wrong thing to do) for more money and was politely told it wasnt going to happen anytime soon.... long story short Jeff and i talked about it and i gave my notice to them. So now i am once again looking for work, not sure what i want to do but i have faith that the right job is out there! The second change going on is Jeff has decided to return to school for his Bachelors degree in criminal justice w/an emphasis on cyber security.He will begin taking online classes with ITT tech March 15th (5 days after his 41st bday!! ) im so proud of him!!!

I would NOT recommend ITT Tech for either an associates or a bachelor degree. Their reputation is not good enough for you to be taken seriously.
If you check the complaints at the following sites you will get a slight idea of what you are in for:

I am a former instructor and although I was trying to provide quality education, they were more worried about how their attendance record looked. Instructors routinely have to place calls to the students (all adults mind you) to try to get them to show up for class in order to up the nightly attendance count.
Yes, you are a number and you will pay about $45,000.00 for an associates, and about $90,000.00 for a bachelor degree. The format of the classes: you will have about half of your time in theory, and the other half with hands on labs. Many times the labs are inadequate and the majority of the students do not try that hard. It may be because ITT has a problem keep in quality instructors because they micromanage too much and do not seem to focus on providing quality instruction.
I would recommend an online NOT for profit school. Check out one of your local universities or community colleges first.
Also, you credits from a regionally accredited school (ITT Tech is nationally accredited..so their credits will NOT transfer to a regular college) will transfer to other regular colleges (there are minor exceptions for various degree programs, but for the most part you’re safe). No so for ITT Tech.
Good luck!
