Music is a huge part of our lives and our society. There are so many different genres and types of music that people listen to. From old school rap to R&B soul, we have grown up listening to music and it has been quite a rollercoaster. We've had a lot of great songs and some... well... not so great.

All in all, these were and still are some pretty great songs. They bring us back to our embarrassing middle school days. We all remember playing these songs on repeat and trying to learn the lyrics to impress our friends. We haven't heard form some of these artist in years. But it's time for them to come back and make some more great songs. Until then, I guess we'll just have to listen to 'Closer' being played on the radio every half hour.

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.

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.
