Countdowns and Signs!

I never thought I'd be the girl to post a picture kissing her man, but I guess when your engaged you kind of have some leeway. Anywho, the reason I'm so excited to begin another quick countdown is because of the reason why I am coming home. I know you think these "signs" aren't always signs, but I just think some things are too big to ignore. Of course I love coming home to see you and my family, that's a given, but this specific trip home is beyond exciting. First of all, what guy takes his fiance to a wedding event? Not many, and we could see that when we went many weeks ago. We were able to get some insight on the many challenges and gifts a wedding could bring, and all with the great help of our fantastic jewelers. But that's not even the best part. You guys want to know just how lucky we are? There was a raffle, for a free wedding band. Jewelry is expensive now, so free sounds good in my book. Well, Marc and I put our names in the raffle just for the hell of it. Like, come on now, there's no way we could win. We had forgotten about the raffle not even moments after signing the slip. Come one week later, I was getting a call from our jewelers, which was kind of confusing. I mean they do call and text just to check in, but this was just a little random. You'll never believe how lucky we are. My name was pulled from the raffle! I don't know if you believe in signs, but this one, I could not ignore. While you're engaged, everyone expects everything to be perfect, and if you really think about it, those are times when a lot people get cold feet and run. Things get difficult during this time because you want to make sure you're making the right decision. Getting a wedding band for free was a huge sign from God saying, "Oh no, you guys aren't going anywhere apart. You're staying together right where I put you" I know that's what God said, I could feel it the moment I got that call. So cheers to another countdown, five more days!

With love always,
Becca

P.s. God's signs are never wrong. You just gotta know when they're actual signs, or when you're forming a sign in your head. The ring was a definite sign <3

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.
