If you aren't living in the moment, they'll all pass you by.

The Little Things

He still has no clue which light switches to use when leaving or entering a room. He gets hot when he sleeps. Even if the room is really cold. He's had the same haircut for I don't even know how long. The casino is where he spends the majority of his time (okay, that's a slight exaggeration...but only slight.) He's got such a soft side. Swiss is his favorite cheese...or maybe it's cheese curd...could be both I guess. Netflix is his guilty pleasure activity, but it's mine too. He loves mashed potatoes, but only if they have sour cream on them. Sour cream on everything actually. He won't shut up about steak, but forget about it if there's no A1 sauce. He's a pain in the ass. But he's so loving. Every day he has a new plan for his life. He tries to like the same things as I do even though he knows I don't care one way or the other. He hates his job. I hate it too. Even when he regrets something, he still makes the most of the situation. He supports me in everything I do. He loves my family. My family loves him. We have so many plans. We're both stuck in this small town with big dreams and still no clue how to achieve them. I still have to remind him to cook things on low on the stove. He still burns them. I hardly do the laundry but he picks up my slack. He helped me get the dog I've always wanted, and I plan to do the same for him. We're kind of a mess but that's alright. He gets upset when he forgets to order chocolate ice cream for his sundaes because he hates vanilla. He's so caring. Sometimes too caring. He gets himself in trouble from caring so much. It's an endless cycle. He loves adventuring. I don't think he ever watches videos on his phone unless it's late at night and I'm trying to sleep. He's also probably yelling at me for adding that part. He loves to play with out dog. We keep saying we're going to save every penny we earn but we just love living life too much. We go out to dinner a lot. And the casino, of course. We're in the middle of about five different series' on Netflix right now...not really sure how that happened though. He gets along with everyone. He's so outgoing. But he's also awkward. He hates when I leave hair in the shower. I hate when he leaves the toilet seat up. He gives me back massages for hours. We're not even going to talk about his favorite color. It's such a terrible color. He loves going out on the boat with his friends. He appreciates so much. He knows me. His smile is perfect but he still worries about it. Scooby-Doo is his all-time favorite cartoon. He's so talented. He has the most beautiful green eyes. We get so excited for Christmas and I'm not entirely sure why. We've grown so much. We cry. We laugh. We fight. We joke. We love. He loves me. I love him. It's the little things that connect us.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
