1. All four seasons

Spring, summer, fall, and winter. We have it all! All temperatures, all precipitation. It is the absolute best.

2. The lakes

Not only do we have the Great Lakes, no salt, and no sharks! We have smaller yet beautiful lakes all throughout the state. We also have Higgins, Houghton, and Crystal Lake!

3. Going "Up North"

Going "Up North" for holiday weekends and camping all through the summer. Summers were always spent with family and friends taking long weekend trips to the upper parts of this beautiful state. Tubing down the river, late night bonfires, and getting fried to a crispy shade of red. Those are the best parts of being up north.

4. The snow!!

I absolutely love the snow, maybe not shoveling and driving in it. Yet, snowmen and sledding were some of the highlights of my childhood. It is so beautiful and magical.

5. Football

Big House

Friday nights, all day Saturday and Sunday. Football is on, and yelling at the TV is in full force. While I may be biased, the Michigan State and University of Michigan is the best rivalry ever. Football is all-around fun. From high school to college, and yes, even the Lions in the NFL, no matter what level it is amazing to watch.


6. The Concerts


From Ford Field to Soaring Eagle on the hill, the concert venues are endless. DTE and Van Andel Arena are just two more to name some of the breathtaking places to watch live music!

7. Beautiful Scenery

The UP, Mackinac Island, The Ledges, Lake Michigan, and Frankenmuth. So many beautiful places, and scenes. Picture perfect places, in this picture perfect place.

Michigan, the mitten state. The Wolverines, Spartans, Tigers, and Lions. We love them all. The beautiful places and all of the weather changes. Michigan is such a gorgeous state, and I love living here!!

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.
