17 Signs You're From Milford, NE

Every small town has it's little quirks or memories, but Milford, Nebraska has the best. No matter if you were born and raise in this place, or if you only lived there for a few short years, there are 17 thing that prove you're from Milford, Nebraska.

1. You probably got at least one vehicle from Rediger's.

If not, you strongly considered that one white car in the back of the lot...until someone bought it.

2. You could smell the Feedlot.

If the wind was blowing just right, you would have manure filled nostrils all day long.

3. If you wanted fun, you drove to Lincoln.

Nothing like driving 30 minutes to get to the nearest mall.

4. There are only a few places to work.

You either worked at SCC, Dairy Queen, Subway or one of the nursing homes. Maybe all four.

5. You have plenty of churches to choose from.

Isn't there like...30 of them now?

6. South Park was not just a TV show.

You might have gone there to meet up with your crush in junior high.

7. You went to Milford High School.

Mostly because there wasn't anywhere else to go. Go Eagles!

8. Everyone knew you, even if you didn't know them.

Thanks, parents.

9. Everyone also knew all of your drama.

Secrets were not safe.

10. You could never lie to the cops.

I mean you could, but they might just ask your parents the next day anyway.

11. If you were planning to "sit and dine," you went to Pizza Kitchen.

The classiest place in town has a buffet.

12. You couldn't go a day without someone revving their supped-up pickup truck.

It was like a battle between the high school boys and the SCC boys.

13. Four o'clock traffic was the worst.

This was when classes were done for both the high school and the community college. Good luck!

14. You either knew, were related to, or are a Roth or a Troyer.

There were at least two of each in all of the high school classes, too.

15. Milford Fun Days meant the official end of summer.

Forget that classes just started two days prior, Fun Days is the end.

16. There was no such thing as "bad food" at local potlucks.

It seemed like every person and their grandma was incapable of make anything that tasted bad. I guess the Mennonite heritage is to thank for that.

17. You can't have "Milford" without The Mill.

Seriously, it's where the name of the town came from.

Milford may seem like most other small Nebraska towns, but we're better.

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.

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.
