Last May when we were on our Caribbean cruise, we met Brittany, 24 who is a cousin of Courtney, 16. Brittany hung out during dinner times with the boys and got to know Alex. When Brittany went home, she spoke to her cousin Courtney about Alex and how great he is and she needs to get to know him. So Alex and Courtney started facebooking and texting, that led to a "relationship" on Facebook. They had never met but were now "dating".
Alex wanted to go see Courtney and he tried to find a way to go to Kentucky.
What we parents wouldn't do for our kids, right? RIGHT?
So...
Last Thursday night Alex and I flew to Cincinnati, OH on our way to Albany, Kentucky. Zija had a convention in Cincinnati last weekend so we bunked with Rod for the night. On Friday morning Alex and I drove about 3 hours to Albany, KY to Robbie and Amy Davis' house so we can hang out with Amy, Joe and John for the weekend. Robbie was at the Zija convention.
Courtney is from Somerset, KY, about an hour north from Albany. On Friday evening Brittany drove Courtney to the Davis' and Alex and Courtney met for the first time. The first meeting was awkward to say the least. There was a hug and then separation. I thought this "relationship" is not going to live past the internet. The whole evening seemed like Alex wasn't sure how to talk to Courtney or vice versa.
Towards the end of the night, they were snuggling on the couch.
