You're not going out anywhere until you clean the house, missy.

2. You couldn't watch your favorite show at 7 pm because your mom watching her novella

Novellas are every day (Monday-Friday) and last months, so good luck on getting any cable time.

5. "Ahorita vamos" was the biggest lie

You're going to stay longer than expected.

6. You would always have to translate for her but low key she knew enough English

She just doesn't like talking to people, but hey, I can relate.

7. You couldn't watch your favorite show at 8 pm either because there's another novella

ANOTHA ONE.

8. When you yelled at your mom because she can't hear otherwise, but she still gets mad

"No me gritas!" Well HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO HEAR ME?!

9. You would hide around the house because she'd always try to pass you the phone when speaking to relatives

It's just so awkward talking to relatives who only saw you when you were still in diapers.

10. Being yelled at when walking around barefoot because you can get sick

Who knows, here's some VapoRub.

11. You couldn't leave the house without un bendicion

#Blessed

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.

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.
