Russell and Sherry

Russell and I met at band camp the last month of my freshman year and his senior year. Our first date was his senior prom. When he asked me to prom I told him no because I had to babysit. Really, I was terrified that a senior had asked me out. I called him back and told him I had gotten the dates mixed up and could go (After talking to my best friend and getting permission from my mom.) I had two weeks to find a dress. When he came to pick me up he didn't recognize me. This is the picture we took together before he went off to college. I guess you can see why my nickname was June Cleaver.

He went to UT in Austin in the fall. It was six hours away. He came home most weekends. We dated for six years before we got engaged. We were engaged one year before we got married. We have been married for 19 years.
We took a family vacation three years ago to the Grand Canyon.

We took our first cruise two years ago to the Grand Turks. We went on the KLOVE cruise. We heard Salvador, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sonic Flood, New Song, The Afters, Big Daddy Weave, and The David Crowder Band.
