One More Year Until 30

Sunday, October 16, 2011


Today is Dave's 29th birthday! I still feel like we're both 24 and recent college grads, but that's just not the case any more. It's crazy how time flies when you're having fun (or when you have three kids). To celebrate Dave's birthday we got together friends and family and enjoyed dinner, brownies and ice cream.

I normally wouldn't do this, but today I want to brag about the amazing things my husband has accomplished in his 29 years.


1. Straight A student in high school

2. Involved in many school committees and clubs including head prefect (I still don't know what that is, but apparently that is impressive)

3. Queen Venture Award (Canada's equivalent to Eagle Scout)

4. Biked a few times to Belleville area (about 20 hours on a bike at once!)

5. Served an honorable mission in Ukraine for 2 years

6. Fluent in English, French, Russian, and Ukrainian

7. Served as Assistant to the Mission President

8. Won the Garfield Weston Merritt National Scholarship

9. Graduated College with a 4.0 and runner up to the Silver Medal Award
10. Passed his CFP exam after the first attempt (most people fail once or twice)

11. Started his own company that has gone from zero to over a million dollar company in 2 years

12. Also started his own wealth management company that is growing rapidly

13. Teaches early morning seminary each day and the students love him

14. Does all these things while being an amazing husband and father of three very young children


I love you Dave!! Thank you for being one of the main sources of happiness in my life! Happy Birthday :)


Me Ka Aloha
