Besides the well known attractions, like Casinos, there is actually plenty more to do in this beautiful state.

1.Take the train!

V&T Railroad Company is very cool in that it uses restored train parts from 1914 and 1916. Let this train give you a feel of the past as you ride down to Virginia City!

2.Visit Virginia City!

Virginia City gives off some old western vibes and is a great place to get souvenirs! It's not too big but there are plenty of shops! Take a trip to the candy store or to the Palace fo some great food!

3.Look for some horses!

In Nevada feel free to take a drive out to the hills to see some magnificent animals! The wild horses are everywhere and are beautiful, just don't get too close to them or you might get chased!

4.Look at the stars!

At night the sky lights up beautifully! One thing you don't always get to see in a bigger city are the stars. One of the perks of staying out in rural Nevada is the ability to see the shining stars!

5.Visit a Lake!

Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is right outside of Nevada! It is technically in California, but it is definitely a sight worth seeing! At this lake you can find some super fun activities, like parasailing! I can vouch for parasailing being an experience worth one's while, and you get a beautiful view of the lake!

6.Visit Animal Ark!

In what feels like the middle of nowhere, theres an animal rehabilitation center. Animal Ark has wolves, bird, raccoons, bears, and many other animals! Come at the right time and you might even be able to watch the bears eat their meals!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
