Dear new owners,

Enjoy the house, cherish the memories, and love the laughter. This house was a dream to our dream house. But it's time to move on and allow a new family to soak in those precious moments. For the last five years, I've called that home my home, when I would come home from college I would pull into the driveway so excited to come home but now every time I pull in, I cherish the moments considering those days are numbered in this house. Even though I don't know the time my house will sell, I still cherish the moments there like it's my last.

The next time I go home, I should be expecting a for sale sign in my yard. That's going to be super weird. The last time we sold our house I was super young and don't remember seeing one. I know my mom is excited about the move because she's going from her dream house to her final dream house. It's normal to find one dream house but to find two is rare if you ask me.

I'm away for school, and I get a text from my mom saying "We're meeting with the realtor this week", which sounds weird but I know it's a good change for my parents.

The song by Miranda Lambert "House that built me" never had meaning until now. The lyrics are more of a monologue for my siblings and I because this house helped shape us for who were are today. Whether the means shaping us for the job force or what our future plans entail. This house has affected us in many ways more than one, from the family dinners we had to the random laughter and bickering during family game nights to the days where we are frustrated and what to scream. It's helped us in many ways, and we hope it does the same to you guys.

From all the family gatherings to walking the field and even fishing in the pond this house filled with laughter. To think that it could be any day now, for when I go home and see a for sale sign in my yard while I pull in. It makes it super bittersweet. I know, it's a good thing for us to go to our new house, but it's also weird to think that after being in the house for five wonderful and memorable moments are going to be altered to a new house.

They say change is a good thing, and I totally agree. With the change, it's going to bring new memories to cherish, new adventures and new places to fill with our laughter. Even the laughter where we laugh until we cry.

To the family, that buys our house. You're in for such a treat. This house is so ready for you to start your journey and your new adventures. Remember to cherish them and build those loving moments as much as you can.

Sincerely,

The boy who lived there.

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.
