After five years of dating Russell, I have both learned a lot and can tell a lot of stories.

Like say, the fact that he can turn off his susceptibility to tickling just about everywhere except for the bottom of his feet—gets him every time.

But the best stories I can tell always happen on Russell’s birthday, which he always sends out the invite to with less than a weeks notice. So if you think you know Russell but haven’t been to his birthday party then mark down Sept. 13. You won’t regret it.
