Dave – Just stopped by today to see what’s new with you. What an incredible tribute to your wife. I particularly enjoyed your bleached spikey hair from Nye Hall. Had to do a double take to be sure that was really you! Congratulations (very belated – sorry!) on your anniversary and having carved out such a little piece of wonderful for you and your family in this crazy world! Let me know when you come down to Minden, dangit!

That was awesome baby! Pretty accurate, but definitely not exaggerating in the “fun” category. There is still so much not told and I will always remember how fun we are together! (even when you and some of your most awesome friends drive me crazy!) I love you tons, but just remember I am still #1!

Congratulations.

Congratulations! What an awesome tribute to your wife! I learned so much about your family, and now I think you’re even more awesome than I thought before!

Loved the video of the boys jumping off the couches. Obviously future Warren Miller stars!

I don’t even know you guys and I have a big grin on my face. That was an awesome story and memory for you guys to look back on., There is nothing like a great marriage and close friends to reflect on.

Congratulations

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Without our many great friends our time together would have been much less fun and interesting.

Congrats to the both of you on twenty years! Truly a sweet life you both have built! ….and David, your chronology of your life together brought tears to my eyes-it’s so obvious how much your family means to you. Best wishes to all for another twenty years!

This web site sets the bar tooooo high for the rest of us, though.

Cheers,
