My You Story

I've said it before, and I'll say it over again 100x. Whenever I am doing something, I always think to myself, "what would Marc do?" Some days it's easier than others. Well, for the past couple of weeks, I've been think that line non stop. If there is one thing Marc is great at, it's motivating people and getting them pumped for life. In the program that I've been a part of this month, I've been in a position where I should always think about how to motivate people, teens specifically.  Marc motivated me both as a teen, and still to this day. It takes a special someone to do that. He has that kind of spark about him. Every time I think about what to say to my kids, I wonder how Marc would go about these situations, and if Marc would be proud of the things I've done. Thank you babe, for being a great role model. You not only talk the talk, but you walk it too! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Let's get to work!

Exactly one year ago today. The time has truly flown by. I've posted this video a few times before, but we're finally at it's anniversary. What a year it has been love! Crazy, to say the least. We legit spent majority of our first year together apart. It's okay though, we made it back to where we need to be. I love you bub! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Looks just like Rachel from Suits haha.

Oh the generational differences! Tonight, Marc and I went on a dinner date with my parents. I'm pretty sure this is the first time with just us four. No one else, not even my sister. Even though Marc knows pretty much everything about me, we're still getting to learn about how things were growing up for us two. Tonight, he got to learn about a scary story that had me shaking in my boots as a little kid. He was probably thinking how ridiculous I was for being so scared, but to a little kid, I promise babe, it was scary. One thing I did notice, is how you can relate to my parents better when it comes to which neighborhoods we were all raised in. I feel like an outcast sometimes when you guys name streets that I'm still trying to learn about, and at the same time, I'm happy you guys have something to relate on. I feel like we learned so much today. If you hadn't pointed out how my dad was talking, I never would've realized, I talk and sound just like him. SCARY...

I'm going to come home later today and not do the blog, and you're going to wonder when I did today's blog. Well, I'm writing so early because I got an idea for the post and had to get it out there already. Plus, I have some spare time. So, just for some background for people who don't know what I did all of high school. Every morning before I'd leave to catch the bus, I'd go to my parents room and give them a goodbye kiss. They were usually asleep, but the kisses never stopped. Since I've been home, Marc and I have had a switch on who wakes up first, and I'm glad I'm waking up first now because I get to get back to my routine. Now, every morning when I am about to head downstairs to leave, Marc gets a good morning/goodbye kiss. What's funny about Marc, is he sometimes pretends to sleep and then smiles when I'm done. Or other times he'll wake up all abrupt and scare the crap out of me, leaving me wondering as to why he's so aw...

Sometimes it's good to know we're feeling the same way. We both had in mind, date night! When we were dating, it was like never ending date nights for us. We don't get to have them as often anymore, but whenever we do get the chance to go out, I'm reminded how much fun we could have. We really do enjoy each other's company. I guess I love when we go on date nights because it brings us back to our roots. Long nights, staying up talking and just soaking up our time with each other. Let's enjoy our time! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. What's up handsome?

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P...
