David had a birthday in June. In true David form it was low key.
He makes 34 and 6 kids look so good!
He used to say he wasn't a "baby" person. I always handled the babies and he always took care of the older kids when our attention was split. Then I left him with 5 month old Rachel for 4 days when I went to girls camp. Oh how quickly that changed, he has found his little buddy in Rach and she gets so much love and attention from him.
David is my best kept secret. He is a huge introvert and only a few people at every location actually get to see how amazing he is. He's hilarious, some of the best one liners ever, come from him. He is the kind of Dad you will see at Chick Fil A with 6 kids by himself and be calm. Not very many husbands/dads can do what this man does on a regular basis. He gets the importance of families. I'm sure many people think I am the crazy one convincing my husband to have this many kids. What people don't know is that David also always wanted a big family. And we have always been on the same page about family size and the logistics. When people finally get to see the real him (past the initial meeting) the first word they always use to describe him is "gentle". He is guileless.
He is detail oriented and hard working. He's the ward clerk right now (his dream calling) and he loves that he gets to hide out in his office and make things happen behind the scenes. There is no ego and or fanfare with this guy. I will be grateful for the rest of eternity that he is mine.
