I love David for what he stands for and how he conducts himself.

He has wonderful taste in everything I have been privy to. Jocelyn is the proof.

He always includes all of us in their lives.

Needless to say he is handsome, athletic, discriminating, devout, devoted and a wonderful son, grandson, husband, uncle and all round good fellow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID.

He makes good choices always and spectacular choices on occasion (ie. Jocelyn :)
He has his mother's natural optimism and spreads it wherever he goes.
He has his future in front of him and a clear plan on how to make it just what he wants.
I am so pleased to be his father.

A!--Active. David is a great natural athlete and I so admire how active he is. He motivates me to work out more.

V!--Very fun to talk to. I love chats with David. He's interesting, sympathetic, and hilarious.

I!--Intelligent, highly.

D!--Dedicated. I am so impressed by his work ethic. He works hard at and everything he does and is determined to do well. I'm pretty sure he has the best gpa of us kids.

and a couple more:
*David is tons of fun--he's energetic and up for anything. He makes things fun for others. I remember when he arrived a bit later than the rest of us to Balboa and ran straight down to the beach.

*David has great taste in movies and music and books. He's also a FANTASTIC writer. I love that he took lit and film--it's fun that David knows one of my favorite profs. AND, he's a great thinker and analyzer.

*David is sensitive to other people's feelings--he is kind, and a peace maker (in fact, I remember talking about that to people I talked to on my mission)

*Speaking of, I love to have served in the same mission.

And he's great and I like him a lot.

I like William ...err David because:
-He is super fun to chat with during the week. I enjoy sharing what's going on in my life and hear what's going on in his.
-He and I have shared some of my best and favorite laughs while doing the deck and sheetrocking the basement.
-He was so much fun to have over in Denmark after the Europe trip and he made me look really good during out Tuesday night church ball game. I enjoyed having David come to work with me and he was just super easy to have around. We're ready for round 2 with D&J in Oz.
-He knows how to handle and work well with others.
-He knows how to bust a move.
-He is driven and will succeed in whatever he endeavors.
-He doesn't mind that I always call him Will and call Will Dave when they are in the same room.

A day late but I like to wait because it is fun to see things build up over a few days.

A few reasons why I really like David

David was the one to play basketball also and always sent me drawings of my favorite players while I was on my mission.

I loved it when David and his friends came to visit me in Pullman to see Stanford play basketball or see some random WSU football game. One of my favorite memories is sneaking into the WSU gym or having his friends make me feel like a million dollars as we rented movies at Blockbuster.

David is always very eager to hear what I am interested in or hear about accomplished goals. No one makes me feel better about doing something.

He is a great conversationalist. He has a wide range of interests and is a much better listener than his older brother.

I am constantly impressed by David and have full confidence in his abilities & into who he is becoming (with the help of Jocelyn, thanks you sister-in-law)

Love you and can’t wait to see you all
