Not so fadt. I bet Ashley doesn't really want to sacrifice the best years of her adulthood to be a stay-at-home mommy and handmade to hubs. But because she was raised to say she believes in doing this, she's afraid to express her true thoughts and sentiments for fear of losing her husband's and mom's approval. Think for yourself, Ashley. You can be a great mom AND have a successful career, too. Just look at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett!

@@MH-be6hr You could be very wrong. We are all different. You are judging on your feelings. I have raised a family and worked. I can tell you that I agree with David. Looking back on my life, the very best times of my life were all about family. My grandparents, growing up as the eldest of a fairly poor large family, and most of all raising my kids. I absolutely love my family and have zero regrets over being a stay at home mom. My hubby at one time was an over the road truck driver. I would sacrifice my income gladly so that I could be there 100% for the kids when he was gone. I also went back to work to put my entire paycheck into the hobby of my youngest...showing horses. I funded it almost 100% but whenever I could, I was home with the kids. That does change as they are older but I stayed home until they went to school. That is a bond like no other and worth any so called sacrifice. Give me a choice of a career and keeping a home and family and it is no contest. Finances is why most mom's go to work not necessarily that they felt trapped at home. The way inflation is and the fact that we feel the need to supply a lot of unnecessary things for our kids, it can not often be done on a single wage. There is a lot to be said for being able to provide a clean, healthy homelike for their children, providing the things only a mom can do....help with homework, warm cookies and a comforting hug when they get home. You don't get that at day care. I would do it exactly the same if I did it over.

I was tearing up through the whole thing, but the part that really got me was when Ashley said "this is your life too" and David responded with "this is our life" WOW I'm crying so much!

To me, the stand-out is exactly what Dave talks about; not just the sacrifice he is prepared to make for his wife, and his kids, and his marriage, but the sacrifices already made by Ashley and how pivotal her role has been in a chapter of their lives together that involved compromise and just that little bit of heartache. To see her selfless love return to her tenfold is truly inspirational.

What a very loving gift to give your wife. Dave, you are being the best example to your children. Showing your son how a husband should be, showing your daughters what to look for in husbands. Acknowledging what your wife has done for you is very sweet. Obviously she loves you just as much, as you pointed out, she has been your biggest supporter. You make me wish for such a relationship. I wish you all the best with getting your new home built.

And that’s how a man treats his wife with so much love and respect, absolutely loved this. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you build your home.

I can’t tell you how many times tears came to my eyes during this video. Ashley deserves this so much and I am so happy she gets to go home to be closer to her family! Can’t wait to see this exciting journey unfold! Congratulations to you all!

By far one of the most loving things I've seen a husband do for His wife. Blessings to you and your family in your new adventure @

This was such an epic surprise! A husband that truly understands his wife! Dave you have set the bar. Well done. 😊

Ashley’s ‘I’m going home’ smile as she’s leaving the field is life. Dave this is your finest work. Congratulations to your family and look forward to the next adventure .

What a great example of marriage, parenting, and family!!! May the LORD be with you all the time!

Wow! After two failed marriages with abusive men, I see a man who loves his wife so much that he does all this for her. Gives me more encouragement that there are still amazing men in the world.

That hard work and vision pay off. And, the simplest lesson of all: All you need is love! I thank you for sharing.

This honestly seems like a romantic movie that could never really happen in real life. But then that’s what the Crosby’s have always been to us. A fantasy life that they share with all of us. I can’t count all of the times your videos have inspired us. This one is going to be hard to top. Congratulations to your whole family on this exciting new chapter in your lives.

Precious. Mommas give up so much for their families and wouldn’t change that for anything because that’s what brings them the most fulfillment... but to be honored in this way has to be overwhelming. God bless your little family and all you plan to do for His glory in the future.

I lost my husband 2 months shy of our 34th anniversary. You never forget all of the special moments with your spouse, but more importantly how they made you feel special. You've shown her your love by remembering what she loves. Well done.

So very nice! Gonna be practical here: If this is to be your "forever home," build it "forever." You both are young, but plan on aging in place. Construct a spacious single story rambler with no steps or basement; wide hallways & doorways; flexible & bouncy floors; big closets; large walk-in combo showers & seated baths with grab bars; high toilets with grab bars; wheelchair accessible lavatories; adjustable kitchen counters, sinks, & appliances; wide exterior walkways with easy access from inside to a large driveway. Think old age mobility and accessibility...and enjoy the decades in your new home!

This is one of the most beautiful, most thoughtful videos I've ever seen. I'm a 56 year old single man and I couldn't hold back the tears. The pure love and dedication that you have for each other is out of this world. God bless you both and family. Please keep us updated on your new home and land development, I'm sure it's going to be a very special beautiful place.

Your love for each other is beautiful ❤️

Oh no, I'm not crying you're crying! What a wonderful gift. This is what everyone should strive to have in a marriage. It's never 50/50. It's giving all that you can so that when you wake up everyday your person is happy & knows they are loved!

You could see how deep the need was in the car driving over there when she commented that she would live wherever they needed to (words to that affect) - her expression went from a normal smile to a sad smile and her eyes were sad as well. So to shift from the grief of compromising on something so large to the realization that you understood the depth of her need and were pivoting to support her...wow! She probably still hasn't fully absorbed it. P.S. I appreciate the way you told her - I realize it makes for a great video but it also created a sense of wonder for her and your children -and that's the most important part of it all.

WOW! I'm speechless for you guys, and the fact that our stories are so similar! My husband and I have been married for 13 years. 7 years ago, we moved our family from Maryland to Louisiana because we were unable to make ends meet any longer. My husband got a job offer that we couldnt turn down but I was heart broken to leave all of my family behind. My husband has been working remotely for his company since covid happened and they finally offered him a permanent work from home position, so we are moving back home! Well almost, we are moving to Pennsylvania, an hour from all my family. Thats nothing compared to 19 hours. Whats even crazier is that Ive been listening to Claires lil voice to help bring me out of my heart ache from being away from my family. Her beautiful little voice has helped give me hope in all of my dark days. We are moving in 2 weeks to start our new adventure! I can't wait to follow you and your family on your journey to your future.

What a BEAUTIFUL PRESENT TO GIVE YOUR LOVING WIFE. I wish Both of you & Your family the VERY BEST OF LUCK & LOVE.

WOW! Dave, you win husband of the year! This story brought me to tears. I think it will be a fantastic thing for all of you. Near family. Can have a much needed bigger house. And the kids can have lots of outdoor space to roam. So happy for Ashley and the whole family.

I do get pulled in to some insanity out there but this little family always pulls me back to where I belong. In my opinion, if being an influencer is your only source of income, you get in to the muddy territories of life. This family is definitely not in the mud. Watch if you need a bit of centering today. This is what I posted when I shared this video.
