Road Trip to Northampton


Brodie Didn't Like Amy

The following morning I woke up and Kevin was chatting it up with my sister. Lucky guy, got to meet my whole family haha oh boy. Anyway, yesterday Amy and I had planned on going up to Holyoke/Northampton so that she could meet our landlords and see the house. Lee, one of our landlords, said she really wanted to meet Amy before approving her for the house and this weekend was the only time we could do it. So we had an appointment for 4PM to see the place. So we left around 11am and Kevin followed us to DD for some breakfast and Mobil for some gas. Then off we went! The trip only took 3 1/2 hours from my house which is better then going to Brattleboro which is 4 hours! Nice! 

Chillin at the Park in Northampton

We told Bobby about this adventure last night and we invited him to come along. Luckily for us he wanted to get out of the house and avoid his extended family so he even drove! Woot. When we got there we had a few hours to spend so we quickly drove by the house then went to Northampton for some Starbucks and hanging out time. Amy loved Northampton. She thought it was pretty awesome. Went into this store called "Faces" that had all sorts of neat modern and groovy furnishings. Can't wait to go back there once I have my place! =D Got me some chai at Starbucks and we went to the park to hang out. I was telling them how Northampton had a large lesbian population and we saw three girl couples holding hands! Awesome! The whole town has a gay vibe to it. It's really cool.

Then we went to the house and met up with Lee and Deana. We got another walk through of the house and Amy really liked it! It was nice seeing it again because the first time I went through it was just like, whoa cool neato! But now I could actually look at it and remember the answers to all my questions haha. I even picked out which room I want and so did Amy. Luckily, we want different rooms lol. That leaves Colleen with two different rooms to pick from. Amy wanted to fill out an application right then and there so Lee went upstairs to print it out. We waited outside on the porch and admired the garden. Deana told us all about the garden. She said that it came with the house and her friend said that there are $1000's of dollars worth of landscaping at the house. So awesome! Even though it's right on the street it totally feels secluded and the porch is private for us so we can hang out on it whenever we want to ^_^

Thai Garden: Northampton, MA
Good Thai Tea, Bad Pad Thai

Then all of us went out back to the picnic table and chatted while Amy filled out her application. We talked for almost 2 hours! It was crazy! We found out so much about each other. Lee and Deana are two really awesome people and I'm so happy to be renting from them. They are both really funny and personably and down to earth. We talked about everything from vegetarianism and hobbies to pets and gay culture. It was so interesting. We could have gone on forever but it was starting to get late so we had to part ways. They said they'd get back to us in a few days about Amy. *crosses fingers!*

Amy Texting Liz! The Intensity!!!

We went to Thai Garden in downtown Northampton for dinner. I got Pad Thai and it wasn't very good =/ Nothing will live up to Sak's Thai Cuisine in Rochester! Oh the memories. Anyway, then we booked it and had lots of fun on the way home. Amy and Bobby are so awesome. I was sad Monika couldn't come too but you know, she's a popular one with all her weddings heh. Got home around 10:30 I guess which was pretty good time! Stayed up and hung out with Carrie and Carl for a bit then headed to bed!

So instead of a video today I have a link for you all! Deana, one of my landlords, has a clothing line called Built Butch Tough. It's sweet clothes made for butch woman. Amazing right!? They also plan on coming out with a line of clothes for babies and pets. I love it. Anyway, here is the link to the site. Check it out!
