Saturday July 19th 2008-
Wedding: Mike and Jamie Davis
Date: Alex Hutt
Looked: Amazing.

I woke up really early in order to go to Katie’s so she could do my hair. It looked realy good, half up and twisted and poofed. After leaving her house and getting my dress I borrowed from her on- I went to Red Lobster to see the Car Wash Crew. Grace, a lady at work, has Lupus and they were raising money for her through a car wash. It was raining though so I was quick to leave.

I waited around for Alex. Minutes felt like hours. I missed him so much and I was excited to have him for myself ALL day practically. In the time that I waited, I decided that the dress Katie let me borrow was a bit big. I was pulling it up every other second. I decided to wear my “salsa” dress instead, which looked a ton better than the last time I wore it at my 19th birthday party.
When he arrived, my heart skipped a beat. He has become so handsome. He hugged me, told me I looked good and kissed me just like I hoped he would! He drove his brother’s corvette and we rode in style. I had never been in one so I was stoked. Alex loved driving it, nice and fast. It gave us an excuse for him to hold my hand when I “eeked” in shock when he roared onto the highway.

We went to the Lob and got to see Katie, Briana, and Danielle too. We looked so good together! We ate appetizers and took pictures and then flew to the wedding. We were early so we talked to many faces we hadn’t seen in a couple years. Some faces more familiar than others. I was curious to see how Alex treated me around his friends. I’m just a girl that tagged along. I know that he and I have this ongoing…..thing…….between us, but I don’t know how much of that he would let others see.
HA!
He held me, and looked at me- THAT look, and kissed me….
All night.

The wedding was beautiful and the bride was stunning! I wanted to cry even though they have been married for a year. It’s emotional knowing there are four parents giving up something very precious to them and two, now adults, about to start a life together that will be a struggle and a blessing to have together.
Alex held my hand the entire time.

After the wedding there was lots of time to kill before the reception. We went to his house and talked with his mom, played with his niece and napped in the front bedroom.
My hair wasn’t amazing after that and plus- Alex likes to wrap his hands on my head when we kiss/hug. I had a hard time sleeping, too jittery with excitement from being in his presence. I watched him, kissed him, daydreamed how the rest of the night would go.

We made it to the reception in perfect time. There were a ton of people! We got drinks from the open bar…..ok……Alex got the table drinks from the open bar, and socialized with friends until the wedding party was announced. Dinner was fantastic and afterwards, they dance floor was opened up.

Briana had text me, telling me to make him my boyfriend by the end of the night. I told him about it and he chuckled. I told him I would have to get him intoxicated in order to find out with that chuckle really meant.

Our first dance of the night was slow and perfect. I finally opened the can and asked him what he wants of me. We talked about how we are still getting out feet on the ground with this single life idea. We both have “shit to do”. Alex and the island being the big issue at the moment. I have to build my self-esteem. He needs to get settled somewhere. We both need to figure out what we want.

After dancing and drinking- we headed off to Chris D.’s house for his graduation party and firework show. We had kidnapped Nick S. and stopped at his house so he could get a change of clothes, since he was really spiffed out being in the wedding party and all. Alex introduced me to their AMAZING couch and I met his cat that was absolutely adorable! Fur ball for sure! Nick began to play the piano and I caught Alex rummaging through drawers in the kitchen. I was completely confused until two butter knives emerged in his hands. I knew right then that we could be staying there for a while. Nick is talented. He sings, acts, plays instruments….and he’s good. Alex can sing, drum, play the tuba…..and he’s good as well.
So as Nick jammed the piano, Alex rocked out the butter knives turned drumsticks and made the edge of the piano his own drum. It was wonderful. A moment to be remembered, for sure.

Once we made it to Chris’s house- there were tons of hugs and beer. Most of these people haven’t seen Alex in a long time, and there were 3 coolers full of beer. Shotgun competitions broke out randomly. More food was eaten. Conversation in every direction and from the basketball court, to the house, and into the back yard- there was plenty going on. When we could catch a moment alone, we took advantage and smooched as much as possible. I followed him to his car, still not sure why he was going out there, and we got comfy in the front seat, kissing under the stars. (At this point we have the Caddy- this wouldn’t work out in the Vette!)
A storm was moving in, but before it did, we were able to see a pretty decent fireworks show. Alex and I were impressed.

Soon after the fireworks were cut off due to rain and a grouchy neighbor- we headed home. By home I mean Alex’s house. We talked about swimming, but it was too cold. We talked for a while and soon went to bed. We kissed for a long time…….

Sunday July 20th 2008
Happy birthday Mama Hutt!!! Yepper! We woke to commotion of all sorts. Alex’s brother Ian lives at home and Doug is married with, now, two kids. Logan is 6 months-ish and Katie is 2 ½. An enormous brunch was made between Alex/Doug/and Pops who took turns getting the food done. I played with mama and the babies. Katie made me eggs in her lil pan and Logan was just CUTE!!! A brick for a baby, but such a Hutt.

Breakfast was amazing and topped off with strawberry cake! We sung happy birthday and baby Katie was the star of the show through the entire meal.

Once breakfast was cleaned up, Alex and I napped on the couch and then finally moved into the bedroom. We slept until two. He had me home by 3. I was SO sad to see him go.

I don’t quite know about my feelings and what all I think about this boy, but I do know I miss him often. I love his phone calls and text messages that are just saying hi. He has a way of spoiling me with his kisses and always giving me attention. It’s something I miss. He makes me feel like one-of-a-kind.

He IS one-of-a-kind.

He and I have a pact for getting married at 27. It started as a joke. I really think something incredible could come out of he and I, relationship wise. Time will tell and for now…………..MY CAT JUST CAUGHT ANOTHER BAT.
