Weekend at Brent's House

I spent this past weekend at Brent's house in Avon, CT. I left Greenwich around 2:30pm on Friday afternoon and only got a little bit lost.... Actually, I didn't get lost, I just found a more creative way to get to Brent's house. I read somewhere once that women find their way around by remembering landmarks and men find their way with street signs. Is it true? Well... if you don't think so, then explain to me how I got to Brent's:

1. I arrived at the Target directly off the highway and drove in the general direction of the mall.
2. I saw the mall and knew that IHOP was right down the road.
3. I turned left at IHOP because I remembered seeing it on my left once while Blockbuster was in front of me, and I didn't know when else I would have seen that other than on my way from Brent's house.
4. I turned left in the general direction of a white church steeple that I always see when I'm drinking coffee at the Starbucks in West Hartford.
5. I got my bearings by placing myself at the Starbucks, but ultimately followed a girl with pretty boots (in my head: "Ooh! Pretty!!").
6. The girl was wearing a black shirt which made me think of how Brent's high school's colors were red and black so I figured she must be heading in the general direction of my boyfriend (if she actually had been, I would have run her over with my car).
7. I encountered the Exxon station where I always have trouble turning out of the driveway, so I went in the direction that always gives me problems, because that's usually the way to go.
8. I saw one of the UConn satellite schools and drove past it, the way I remembered doing once with Brent.
9. I was completely lost, but saw at least 10 cars turning left at an intersection, so I figured they must know where to go and followed.
10. I decided to take a chance on a blinking yellow light and turned on that street.
11. I found Brent!

Brent later told me that I took the longest, most round-about route possible, but I got there, right?

Anyway, here's Brent with a HUGE smile on his face in the guest room I was staying in. I hope he was smiling because I was visiting!

Brent:

Brent has a house in Martha's Vineyard where he spends his summers, and I found a shirt with his area of the Vineyard on it and had to buy it for him!

Brent in his new shirt:

Brent and I went to the mall that afternoon to find the right cord for his dad's new iPod nano (it's so small and cute!) and we secretly got some Mrs. Field's cookies... don't tell! After the mall, we picked up Brent's mom and went to the Hartford Golf Club to meet Brent's dad for dinner. Brent and I were very predictable and got the filet mignon. Mmm so good! After dinner, Brent and I went to the movies where we saw Fun with Dick and Jane which was hilarious! We laughed out loud a number of times, especially Brent... he's "that guy." You know the one I'm talking about... the guy who laughs obscenely loudly at everything. I loved it though... almost as much as I love it when my mom does it... all the time.

Yesterday morning, Brent's mom made us crepes which were so good! I had crepes provencal with my mom at the little restaurant in Bloomingdale's a while ago, but I had never had crepes with syrup before and they were delicious! After breakfast, Brent and I went to the mall to pick up iPod speakers and then to school to drop off a lot of our stuff from winter break.

Brent driving out of his driveway:

We stopped at the gas station because Brent needed gas. He's doing the "Why do you take so many pictures?" face. I think he might be right....

Brent and me at the gas station. I didn't realize he was making that face:

We drove past a pretty lake at sunset and I took this picture. You can't see the sunset... so it's sort of pointless... but that's my style:

Why do I even try to get him to take a nice picture?

This is the view on Brent's street. It's so beautiful, it's hard to see in this picture but it's a huge mountain with a gorgeous sunset:

Brent lives on a mountain, and it's so pretty:

Back at Brent's house, Brent played with his dog Beamer in the family room:

And in the kitchen:

Brent showed me a game he likes to play with Beamer where he puts peanut butter on her nose and watches her try to lick it off:

We got a short video of Beamer with the peanut butter:

After playing with Beamer for a while, Brent and I went out to dinner at Carmen Anthony's in Avon http://www.carmenanthony.com/ . Brent's parents were so nice to have given us a gift certificate there, so we got to have a really nice seafood meal. Brent had tilapia and I had swordfish, and it was so good! I was wearing a big, puffy, white jacket which I zipped up all the way and snapped the hood up and, after making sure no one was around, chased Brent down the stairs saying "I'm the abominable snowman!! Ahhhh!!" Brent started running away from me. I thought he was playing along, but it turns out he was just pretending not to know me because some people had come outside right behind me... how embarrassing.

After I ran, frantically, to the car trying to hide my face, Brent and I went back to his house to have some tea which Brent made all by himself! I was very proud of his cullinary skills.

Brent making tea:

Brent and Me attempting to take a cute picture:

Brent made tea for both of us, and then decided that we should go see a movie. The movie was starting in just a few minutes, so he told me to chug my scorching hot tea as fast as I could. I didn't. We made it to the theater in time, though, where we saw Tristan & Isolde. We both thought it was a good movie, despite the fact that Isolde was a dirty, adulterous, slut and Tristan totally didn't actually love her... but I still cried.

This morning Brent and I brought some more stuff to Trinity College (where we go to school) and I realized just how messy Christy and my room is. We have quite a bit of work to do:

By the way, Christie and I now officially have the biggest college dorm double EVER. Still, quite a lot of work needs to be done. Brent and I ended up going back to his house again to have pizza with his parents for dinner, but first, Brent, being a good son, pounded in some stakes in his driveway before the snow (we're expecting 10 inches of snow tonight)!

Brent with the stakes:

The wind storm that I talked about a few entries ago (60mph+ winds) did this to a lamp post near Brent's street:

Here's another picture of the view over the mountain from Brent's street:

And Brent again. Isn't he cute?

Well, classes start again tomorrow and I still haven't finished unpacking, ugh! Brent and I have been waiting for Family Guy to come on, but the football game seems to have taken over television. Stupid football.... We'll probably be getting to bed early tonight, but make sure to check back soon! Hopefully I'll have a nicer picture of my room to be the "after" picture haha.

Goodnight!
