Blessings On Blessings


Back to reality guys. I always feel upset the day before leaving, and then I realize we're that much closer to being together again. It was definitely a successful Thanksgiving weekend, and I am super prepared to knock the rest of this semester out. Seeing you this weekend gave me the motivation I needed to finish strong. Two weeks of class and one of finals. So close! Today might have been slow, but boring, never! I always thought it was ironic when church services were super relevant to the things going on in my life, and boy was today relevant. Yeah, it's Thanksgiving time and everyone is thankful, but I've been saying this for weeks now. There is so much to be thankful for than what most people are. And when the pastor asked how many things we had given thanks for in the past day, one answer popped in my head immediately. You. I give thanks for you every day. If I was to only have the things I had given thanks for yesterday I would still have you. I think I'd be pretty happy with what I had in life. Yes, we should give thanks for the mundane things in life (which in reality aren't as small as we see them to be), because we are truly blessed. Not just for having each other, but the things we are able to provide for each other (and I'm not talking about things to do with money). I'll give you an example (babe it's just an example, not how I actually feel). On days when we are talking on the phone and he wants to hear how my day was, let's say I've been annoyed all day and just don't feel like talking. Instead of being miserable and taking his curiosity for granted, I should instead be grateful that he is taking the time out of his day to know how mine went. Imagine all of the people who don't have someone to ask how their day went. I have something to appreciate. Want to know what else is ironic? I'm sitting here watching the Simpsons right now as I type, and one of the characters is talking and upset that his wife left him because he took her for granted. You wanna know what he should've appreciated that she always did? The dishes. Something so simple. Whether we learn to appreciate the small things in life through church, a blog, or a cartoon, there is so much to be thankful for. Because we are all blessed, it's just a matter of realizing what we have right in front of us. And let me tell you babe, I know exactly what I have right in front of me, and appreciate every ounce of you.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. How much you wanna bet he checks the countdown app to see when I graduate?

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

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

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.
