Outdoor Activities

Just because you are socially distant dose not mean you still can't go outside, you can go for a walk/run around your neighborhood, go for a hike or a bike ride, go rock climbing if you have the training, if you have kids they can play with chalk in the driveway or sidewalk, have a little pool just for the family, do an outside workout when its nice, read outside, have a scavenger hunt, camp in the back yard, play outdoor games like Frisbee, corn hole, play catch or soccer. So don't think you have to stay inside unless you are sick then stay inside.

there are many things you can do to stay busy, If you are sick please stay inside and take care of yourself, and if your not sick still take care of yourself, wash your hands and stay active.

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.

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.
