RUSS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Today is Russ’ 27th birthday. Let me tell you about the birthday boy.


Russell John Lewis is the newest member of our family. He and Camille married on July 25, 2009 in the Draper, Utah Temple. Russ is my second son-in-law. While it can be bittersweet having your children grow up, when they marry you don’t really “lose” them but actually “gain” another family member. Being a mother-in-law is really quite fantastic when you have great sons-in-law like I do. Russ is quite simply a wonderful guy.

When you have daughters, and they grow up and start dating, you hope and pray (literally) that they will find someone who will cherish them as you do and be perfect for them. I really think that our prayers were answered twice. Russ is so kind, loving, thoughtful, and understanding of Camille. He treats her like a princess much of the time, but can also lovingly keep her grounded when she has a tendency to get a bit carried away. (If you know Camille, she can be passionate about things at times!) He is also smart, strikingly handsome, hard-working, adventuresome, and fun, and as a couple they enjoy doing so many crazy and cool things together. Most importantly, he is a worthy priesthood holder with a strong testimony and will make a great father some day. Russ and Camille definitely are a perfect match. We are so glad they found one another. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSS! -- WE LOVE YOU!

Just in case you didn't notice that was from me, Russ, not Camille. :)
