When You Give A Girl A Cousin
Kaylee Clever

There will be a lot of things that change throughout your life but one thing is certain; your forever bond with your cousins will never change.

You give her lifelong best friends

Need I say more?

You give her travel buddies

This past summer we went on a road trip from Chicago, Illinois to Clearwater Beach, Florida, and boy am I grateful I had them to keep me company!

You give her siblings

More specifically, for those who are an only child.

You give her endless laughs

You never seem to be surprised at the funniest things that they do! After all, they most definitely learned it from you.

You give her, her biggest fan

One of the best parts about having a close immediate family is being able to be there for most, if not all, of their extracurricular activities and sports events.

You give her partners in crime

Having a cousin means there will always be somebody there who has your back, unconditionally.

You give her somebody to give all of her old clothes too

This means a lot of Victoria's Secret Pink sweatshirts, t-shirts, purses, and anything else they want, really.

You give her somebody who understands

Whether it's our family, friends, or anything in between, if there's anything I understand, it's what you're going through. I've been there, too.

You give her somebody to play with

Growing up you may have even used your baby cousins as your own dolls, with major precaution of course.

You give her memories that last a lifetime

From vacations, sleepovers, and holidays, there is nothing you value more than time spent together.

Having a cousin is the best gift a girl could have. Having four of them is the biggest blessing I could have ever received.

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
