everyone agrees, 7 is a lucky number. and, 7 years ago today--september 8, 2001--is the day russell & i met. most of you know this story by heart, but mandy kinkeade (now mandy anderson) set us up on a blind date to a baylor football game. it was only days before 9-11 and only days before my world got turned completely upside down. here's to once upon a time...
sb, ruthie & mando at that baylor game
there's another picture of sarah beth holding her hand up, and she punched a fake diamond earring through her ring finger soon after we started dating...and she turned out to be very, very right. russ' parents took a picture of us together that first day, too, but the camera got dropped in a lake in alaska the next week...so, this is one of the most original, oldschool pics i have--i was 19 & russ was 21...
i am forever thankful and indebted to mandy for that day (so, since you're in germany, danke). all our love!
