Happy Birthday, Russ!!

Today is our son-in-law, Russell Lee's, birthday, so here's our tribute to him. He first met Adrianne when they were both RA's at Helaman Halls in 2007. Below is the first picture we saw of him from the fall of 2007. You may notice that Adrianne is NOT his date. They were just friends at first.
But over Christmas break of 2007 when Adrianne came home to Germany we noticed that she was spending lots of time every day on the web cam talking to Russ--her "just a friend like those I count in dozens". It wasn't too big of a surprise when Adri told us she was dating Russ, and then they were engaged. Below is one of their engagement photos.
Here's Russ outside of the Mesa, Arizona, Temple, in August 2008 on his wedding day with his parents. Russ is from Mesa.
Here are some cute photos from their honeymoon (not sure why we even have them on our computer) that show Russ's fun personality.

Russ came to spend Christmas with our family in 2008, and we went to see the lights at the DC temple.
The final photo is from April of 2009 when we went to Utah to attend General Conference, and we went to the Natural Science Museum at BYU with Adri and Russ.
Russ is a very helpful and generous man. He's always thinking of others, and the first to volunteer to give service. He's a good example to us.

I'll always remember that Adri said (after she'd been married for almost a year) that she'd never laughed more than she did after she got married.

Happy Birthday, Russ!

We love you!
