Happy B Day!
Coming from a guy who sees "39" from the rear view mirror I can say you've got nothing to worry about.  Even "40" is the new "30" or maybe it's "50" now.  - whose counting.  If I were you I would be more concerned about what your smart savy wife has planned for you every time you celebrate cause coming from someone like me who spends a lot of hours working in the same office every day with her I know she really adores you and will go out of her way to let you know it in very celebrative ways. SO enjoy your big day and make sure you thank the Lord for making some great decisions that brought Dawn and Leah into your life. You're a lucky guy.

Happy Birthday - From Brandon Wells

Hey, ya ol' raisin. Wow, 39!!! Crazy how time flies. It seems like yesterday, we graduated school and now you're having another b-day. As always, you've been a great friend to me, even though there was that one incident in high school. You know what it was. I want you to know I finally forgive you (lol). Despite the fact that you move locations every few years, we've always managed to stay friends. My mom thinks that the reason you move so often is to elude the FBI for all the crap we did. Anyways, you've always managed to keep in touch and hopefully will. Even though you're miles away, I hope you have a great birthday.

Brandon

HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY BROTHER, I LOVE YOU MUCH!!!!

Feliz cumpleaños desde Nuevo México

We wish you a Happy Birthday 

and hope you have a splendid day. 

 

Thinking of your many accomplishments,

 we marvel at the extreme challenges you are willing to accept.

"WHEEEEE!!!!!" - David

 In addition your powers of persuasions are extraordinary 

since you were able to convince Dawn 

that this was a great family bonding experience.

"Sure I'd love to do one of these things with you" - Dawn

You are a perfect role model for Leah.

 THOUGH, you might just consider

 whether it will take a slightly higher level of persuasion

 to convince Leah to wallow in terra firma. 

"You want me to do that!?" -Leah

We realize that you excel in these extreme grub meets 

and that your expertise and enthusiasm have inspired others far and wide 

to create similar events. 

Take for example your impact in our state.

Sorry we can't be there to share your special day. 

Happy Birthday

David,

You are the closest thing to a brother I have ever had and I appreciate your life and friendship more than you likely know. I am happy to be given this opportunity to write to you and share a little story to celebrate your birthday. First, I have to admit that when I was first introduced to you and you became a part of our miserable group in the FSG, I thought to myself “How young is this tan, skinny dude and is he old enough to work here?” We eventually became friends and in spite of my bad attitude, we hit it off. It has been wonderful connecting up and hanging out with you, Dawn and Leah in recent years at your home and we all count you and your family as just that, family.

The day that forever changed you in the hearts of Shannon and me was around the time when Zoe was born, which is well over 9 years ago now. As you now know, as a first time parent, having a new baby at home creates a multitude of unknown’s. Soon after Zoe was born, you came to visit her at our house and brought us the gift of movie rentals. You were the only one, including those in my family, to make the effort to not just visit little Zoe, but genuinely care about Shannon and my wellbeing and enjoyment during that exciting and challenging time of our lives. Shannon, Zoe, Piper and I wish you the very happiest of birthdays and we look forward to sharing our lives with you and your amazing little family for many years to come.

Love you brother.

Dean, Shannon, Zoe and Piper

Mucho love from OP!

Hello and happy birthday to my ancient bud - you made it!

I will never forget the day I met you as you stole my Sunday paper from the bar @ Nick & Jake's brunch. How long has it been, like a million years since??  You have truly made it in life locking down your dream girl and starting a beautiful family - still gotta meet the lil' one - so I'm allowed to be both happy for you as well as super envious.  A reunion asap is a must!
Whether you turn 39 or 89, to me you will always be the fun loving true friend I got hooked on watching Grey's Anatomy with over way to much wine, gossip, and edamame way back in the day in '06.  Thank you for being the only person that'd go to a Division 2 college football game of my alma mater @ Arrowhead with me as well as being there to make fun of me when I had the hot neighbor's dog puke on my lap and helping me get through single girl drama in my 20s.
You are one of the most genuine people I have ever met in my life and I wish you the best birthday!

Much love,

Melis

Encore - Birthday Song

Okay, okay, I know. I'm good at this birthday song stuff. So, for your viewing pleasure, we have our last (and Mommy's favorite - even though it was hard for her to choose)!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

I love you to the moon...and back!

Leah

Birthday Song for Daddy - Take 5

Mommy said this might be my last chance, so I have to make this good!

Love from your little girl,

Mommy asked me to try again. This time, there was no ice cream. She should know better...

Your baby girl,

Leah

Birthday Song for Daddy - Take 1

Hi Daddy.
Mommy and my teachers have been trying to teach me a new song. I haven't gotten all the words down quite yet, and I'll sign, but only if mommy bribes me with ice cream. I mean well. I hope you have a Happy Birthday and I love you so much.

Here goes nothin...

Love,

Your Leah G

Hey David.

Welcome to the start of your 40th year.
We have had some really good times together from wet Boy Scout camping trips to our running the Marine Corps Marathon in 2006.


In between, I watched you in Little League, saw you graduate from Marine Corps Boot Camp,spent several weekends hanging out at 29 Palms and other places when you lived in So. CA.





We attended some really fun sports events which included football games in AZ, a 49'er game in SFO and NASCAR at Sears Point.
I was also priveleged to attend your college graduation and probably the most memorable your wedding on the North Shore, HI at Sunset Beach.
Many good memories come to mind.
You are now in the process of making more memories with Dawn and Leah, what a cutie.
Thanks for the weekly SKYPE events; we really enjoy them.

Happy 39th Birthday.
Love.
Dad

Happy Birthday Rap Song

If only I was talented enough to put Leah's face on the turtle and my face on the hippo...wouldn't that be hilarious!

Its a Happy Birthday Rap!

Happy Birthday to my very favorite son.  You have been a special part of my life for 39 years and it's been wonderful to watch you develop into the good man, husband and father you have  become.  My biggest regret now is that we don't live just a bit closer so I can enjoy you and your family--one of us needs to move!

 

Love,
Mom
