HealthEquity goes public!

 After eight years, HealthEquity has gone public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol HQY! It was so amazing to be in NYC for the big event! This is in Times Square outside the NASDAQ.

 It was cool to see a bunch of our pictures on the 7-story jumbo tron in Times Square. Jana, Colby and I are on the right in the middle.

 This is our executive team

 So cool to have Colby with us!

 Great friends--I hired and mentored all of these guys to the point they are now on the Executive Team.

 Before the bell ringing ceremony…yellow button rings the bell.



It was really special to be there among friends. We have worked hard and are excited about beginning a new chapter at HealthEquity!

A little more commentary on the stock. It was originally expect to sell in the range of $10-$12/share, but ended up being priced at $14 due to higher than expected demand. Initial buying occurred at $20/share on day one and went down some from there. It was a little tough to go public on one of the worst days on the market in recent history…but we're in this for the long term (relatively).

Lisa's Girls Camp 2014

 After getting camp set up, Lisa and some friends posed for a pic. We had about 38 YW attend camp.

 Each girl received gifts from their secret sister. Lisa was excited to get her mineral waters!

 Then it was off to the meet and greet in the pavilion.

 This was hilarious, Lisa and a friend (Whitney Anderson) were doing tandem back flips!

 We built a nice camp fire for the devotional and had a nice program. Talking over cookies and milk rounded out the night.
 The next day's activities began with a service project…fleece blankets for the local hospitals to give away.
 …some time by the water…

 an obstacle course that included a climbing wall…

 …which Lisa and Whitney powered up to get the fastest times up the wall.

 …then off to the zip line over the water. Fun.

Lisa was having fun and was helping others have fun too. The best combination!

Summer Swimming

Gr and Gr Lindsay had a water party in the commons. Kaylee enjoyed it a lot! …and made a new friend.

Kaylee didn't want to go down alone. What is a father to do?





…and back home we went!


 The Orem Rec has a nice pool with slides. Everyone liked that! Kaylee is in the pink life preserver with Ryan.

 The Riverside country club pool is new and nice. Everyone had fun there on the 4th of July as is tradition.

 …we had lunch and…

 played in the water…

…a lot. It was great!
