Why I'm Thankful

For those who know me well, you all know that I absolutely hate asking for money. Unless my grandparents, mom, whoever, asks if I need money to buy whatever at school. I just will never ask for money unless I need to buy something for class, or I'm low on food; I'm not sure why I'm even like this, but I am. This brings us to a few Fridays ago, I was buying groceries. My grandparents had gone out of town, and left me money. However, I had to buy groceries and fill my car up, so I was worried that I didn't have enough money altogether. After seeing the total for groceries, I had to use my cash and my card too so I was worried about how I would pay for things the rest of the weekend. After looking in my account, I saw that my paycheck had been put in early. At that moment, words cannot explain the joy I felt. It was like God knew my heart and blessed me with that in that moment.

Adding on to this is the fact that I got a job after praying and praying about it. I knew that I didn't want my family to have to pay for everything that I needed, plus some, so it was definitely important that I find a job. After applying in stores in town, it wasn't looking good. They weren't hiring, and there weren't a lot of on campus jobs offered. Soon though, I got a call saying that I had an interview working for the Trotter House Bed and Breakfast. No, it isn't the easiest job. I work as needed, and hours may be really long or really short, but I can honestly say that I'm thankful for it. God has blessed me in more ways than I can imagine.

Next, I have been blessed with amazing friends and sorority sisters. I have never had a better group of friends and sisters, and I'm so so thankful for each and every one of them. I can always count on Darby to keep me company when I'm home, Erin to listen to my rants, and Ana to give me needed advice. My sorority sisters though, it feels like I've known them all forever. And they all make college feel like home.

As always, I'm so thankful that God blessed me with such a great family. I'm thankful that I could call or text any one of them, and they'd pick up. I'm thankful for how close we all are, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I truly am blessed.

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.

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.
