On Saturday Dave celebrates his 27th birthday! He has had himself quite a year. Since his last B-day here are a few of things he accomplished or enjoyed:- a year ago, he was just starting an MBA program and he was working hard in his classes...again he got some amazing grades and made all the other students hate him (not in a bad way)
- we enjoyed spending last Halloween and Thanksgiving with Dave and Courtney in the heat and sun and we even had a sleep over in their comfy apartment
- Dave and Courtney came for Christmas and we enjoyed having their company
- Dave LOVES BYU sports and he managed to watch Jimmer play a bunch of basketball games on TV
- He is a BYU football fan who has been carefully raised in the art of following the Cougars
- Dave landed an impressive internship in North Carolina and he and Courtney spent the summer there where he learned some of the finer points in finance and banking
- He got great reviews from his supervisor and was later offered an impressive job after completing his degree
- He worked hard all summer and spent some time fending for himself for a time and proved that he is self reliant and capable, even by himself in far off places
- He returned to school in the fall for his second year of MBA school and moved his family from one apartment to another, in the extreme heat of the summer
- He is a devoted husband and a great helper around the house (who knew??)
- He LOVES his nieces (and nephews) and he is a wonderful uncle to them on both sides of the family
- He served in the YM organization and was dutiful and helpful to the small group of boys in their area
- We got to see Dave and Courtney in CA at our family reunion in May and we enjoyed his great sense of humor and his helpful ways
- He and Courtney traveled through North and South Carolina during the summer and saw some great sights and learn more of the history of those states
- He is a dear son and we love to talk to him and to get his take on what is happening
- He and Courtney got some great news. They will be having a little V V in February to fill the BYU tee shirt and hat that Dave received for his birthday
- Dave will be a great father. He is such a great uncle and he is so sweet to the little people

We are very proud of you, Dave. You are doing well with our name. Happy birthday!! We love you.
Courtney doesn't even look pregnant in that first picture which I'm assuming was pretty recent. Also, I like her curly hair, and it seems to have grown long very quickly. Great tribute to Dave. What a good guy he is. Will he take the job w/ the company he did the internship for? Where would they live if so?
That Dave is a good boy and I'm so glad that he and Courtney live by us. He has always been a supportive brother and I know he will be a great father.
