2. Cheese stores off the highway

4. You'll get annoyed when you see an Illinois liscense plate

5. You get excited when the temperature is above 20 degrees in the winter

6. A tornado watch or warning means nothing

7. A beer chaser is automatically offered with a bloody

8. Summerfest is no big deal

9. Creme Puff's are the number one reasoning you going to the state fair

10. You don't plan on wearing shorts until May

11. You don't complain about how hot it is in the summer

12. You don't expect any amount of snow to cancel anything and if it does you are shocked

13. The hatred for Cubs fans will always be real

14. Elementary schoolers have recess outside every single month. Snow, hail, rain... they're still going outside

15. You question why anyone from a southern state would ever be in Wisconsin

20. Brats and cheese are a number one food group in the summer

21. "Ope" is a big part of your vocabulary

22. Kwik trip is more than a gas station and will always be the best gas station

23. When someone from out of town asks "what's so good about Wisconsin?" you are shocked that they can't see the greatness

24. you realize how many TV shows and movies refrence Wisconsin as the weird out there state

26. Culvers is THE best fast food hands down

27. you always think how cool it is that That 70's Show is based in Wisconsin

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.
