September 5, 1976

32 years ago, David was born (almost a 10 pounder) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was the first of 3 boys for his mom and dad. I'm sure they felt just as blessed as I do to today to have him in my life. Today probably won't be a big day of celebration for him since he is laying on the couch, but I hope he knows that I celebrate the life he has lead and am so grateful to be here to see him reach this milestone. So, in honor of David's 32 years, here are 32 things that I love about David. I love you and Happy Birthday babe!

1. He is the most loyal person I have ever met.
2. He is a great Dad. He'd do anything for his kids!
3. I love his green eyes and hope that Willis will have them.
4. He chose me to spend the rest of his life with.
5. David is an eternal optimist.
