Today is Russell's birthday. He turns an age younger than my forty years by 6 that I'm not allowed to say because he's self conscious about it. He's weird about his age because I've always dated younger men. He tells me he's afraid if he gets too old I won't love him anymore. Silly Rabbit, you'll always be younger than me!! When we met I was dating someone else. A total jerk...and there was this guy named James who wanted to date me. I was 27 my boyfriend was 23 and James was 18. 18!! Sorry, even though boyfriend was a jerk and we were breaking up anyway 18 was just waaaaaay too young for me. So I set a rule. Suitors had to be at least 21. Russell just met (I mean JUUUUUST met) that criteria when we began dating. So he took me out to see Stargate and now the rest is history. Russell is my best friend. He's a good guy who shares my liberal politics, my love of Sci-fi and South Park, and who makes a great dad to our daughter. He's quiet, emotional, insecure, intelligent, drinks too much soda, loves cats, and is handy. It's good to have a guy who used to be a fireman, a plumber, and and AC & R guy and who currently is an electician and mechanic! Saves on repair bills that's for sure. My man isn't perfect, but he fits me snug as a glove. Happy birthday honely! I love you more every day!!
Happy Birthday Russell!
