Barb Stuttgen and Russel

In highlighting a few cute couples around Sartell High School, we will be started off asking….

Who is your special person?

Barb replied “Russell”

Q: How did you meet?

A: Through a mutual friend.  

Q: What were your first impressions? 

A: I was “smitten” immediately.

Q: Where did you go for your first date? 

A: We met for coffee at Perkins on a Sunday and we talked for 3 hours.

Q: What is something that annoys you about your significant other? 

A: He listens to things on his phone (with the volume up) while we’re watching tv!

Q: Can you share a funny story about your person? 

A: Early on in our relationship, I would send him the kissy face emoji (?).  After several months of doing this, I saw his texts from me.  He was getting the surprised face emoji (?) the whole time and never questioned it.  I asked why he thought I would send a surprised face and he said that he thought I was just surprised that our relationship was working. ???

A: Almost 8 years!

Q: What advice would you share for a happy, healthy relationship?
