You're The Ann Perkins To My Leslie Knope

I still can't believe you've never seen Parks and Rec. Then again, you've never seen Step Brothers, so I'll let this one slide for now. We met at work and have been through some crazy shenanigans together. But just looking at you and watching your amazing personality shine throughout this last year of our friendship has made me realize that you're literally the real life version of Ann Perkins. Why you ask? Well, I will give you my straight up, honest answer. Because you're both beautiful inside and out and I have a lot of Leslie's annoying traits that you both commonly deal with. Let's face it; when I say something stupid, you're always there to shake your head and say OMG.

1. Ann keeps Leslie on the ground when her head's waaaaaaay up in the clouds, but supports her in everything she does.

2. Ann's got a sound mind that speaks realistically in every situation when everyone else has lost their noodles.

3. Ann is basically the mom of the group. She gives love when it's necessary (always) and sets people straight when they're being stupid (you know I always be actin' a fool.)

4. Ann knows Leslie's weird, but she loves her anyways and eventually embraces the concept of weirdness right alongside her.

5. Leslie gives Ann some of the most ridiculous compliments/nicknames that come straight from the heart.

6. They're each other's soulmate.

7. Ann always speaks the harsh truth that everyone is thinking but nobody says.

8. Ann will do whatever with Leslie as long as it means spending time with her...even if there's a little bit of lashing out later lol.

9. Ann dances with Leslie sooo you HAVE to go out dancing with me 'cause we're basically them as I'm currently explaining...duh...

10. You're always there for me whenever I need you. You guessed it: just like Ann.

After all I've put you through, whether it be getting hair dye on your living room floor, you holding me in your bathroom while I sob over a boy I barely know, or wasting your lunch break by driving literally everywhere looking for parking, you're still there for me. I could never thank you enough for accepting me and loving me the way that I am. You will always be my hoe.

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.
